Maharashtra Unveils Vidarbha’s First Integrated Steel Plant in Gadchiroli:
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is set to inaugurate a transformative phase for Vidarbha by laying the foundation for Llyods Metals & Energy Limited’s (LMEL) first integrated steel plant in the region’s Gadchiroli district. This development marks a watershed moment for regional industrialisation and resource-based economic growth.Gadchiroli, part of Maharashtra’s mineral-rich Vidarbha region, has historically lagged in major industrial investments despite abundant high-grade iron ore reserves. LMEL, incorporated in 1977, has expanded steadily from mining into steel manufacturing, choosing Konsari in Gadchiroli as the site for Vidarbha’s inaugural integrated steel facility.
