The Naveena Group has announced to enter into the business of steel production by establishing a 300,000 metric tons per annum steel melting and re-rolling mill at Port Qasim, Karachi.
The project is being developed in view of the bright prospects of Pakistan’s economy, rapid urbanization and industrialization in the country due to upcoming infrastructure projects like China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which will increase the demand for steel in the country.

The company has already finalized its contract with one of the top European suppliers of machinery which aims to introduce state of the art metallurgical processes for the first time in Pakistan that will enable NSMPL to produce better quality of steel rebars with improved yield giving it competitive edge over the existing setups.
