executive, he knew the operations inside-out, brought stability at a time of
change, and played a critical role in helping establish trust as we built the
ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel brand in India.
We were lucky to have him, and I am delighted that he will retain a
strong connection with the company as a Board Member, and also Vice-Chairman of
ArcelorMittal India Private Limited.”

recently as CFO at AM/NS India, Amit has proved himself more than ready to step
into the CEO role. He has strong
knowledge of the operations and has been intimately involved in the growth

even more crucial with so much expansion and construction underway. In his capable hands I am confident AM/NS
India will have a very bright future.”

Nippon Steel India’s first CEO. I could
not have imagined that we would achieve so much in just over six years. I have been supported by an excellent team
including Amit, who is a strong leader with all the right credentials to lead
the company during its next exciting phase of growth. I will continue to follow all the
developments with great interest and of course will retain a close contact with
both AM/NS India and ArcelorMittal going forward.”

AM/NS India. The potential of the
company is enormous, and I will be focusing on ensuring we can meet all this
potential, starting with our aspiration to be accident free. We have a great team of people who are
excited and motivated by the unique opportunity they have to help build Atmanirbhar Bharat. We
will have a lot to do, and I can’t wait to get started.”
