The foundation stone for the ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel Plant, which has been proposed near Nakkapalli in the Anakapalle district, will be laid on March 23. This has been confirmed by Union Minister of State for Steel Bhupathi Raju Srinivasa Varma.

To be built on around 2,200 acres, the project is likely to change the face of the region once operational.
