Vardhman Special Steels

About Us

A humble beginning in Special and Alloy Steels

It was Vardhman Group's faith in the economy of the country, specifically in core industrial sector that initiated the Group's venture into the steel industry. The story of Vardhman Special Steels began way back in the year 1972 with the commissioning of Oswal Steels at Faridabad to manufacture Special & Alloy Steels, with an initial capacity of 50,000 Metric tonnes per annum.

1986 was the turning point in the history of Vardhman Special Steels. The Company acquired another plant at Ludhiana, which was later upgraded with the latest state-of-the-art technology to an installed capacity of 1,00,000 Metric tonnes per annum.

The economic scenario in India underwent a major change. Increased liberalization opened up the economy and many new automobile manufacturers entered the field. This created a large demand for good quality special and alloy steels at competitive prices. In order to meet the stringent quality requirements of the global players, an ultra modern Steel Melting Shop comprising of a 30 ton UHP Electric Arc Furnace and a 9/16 meter Bloom Caster with Electromagnetic Stirrer were installed in 1995. A Vaccum Degassing System capable of reaching a vacuum of less than 1.0 milibar was commissioned in the year 2000.
