About us

Ardent Steel Private Limited is the leading Pellet manufacturing company in India. The Company was incorporated under the Companies Act on 13th April 2007.

The Company operates a 0.85 MTPA Pelletisation plant in Keonjhar of Odisha state, one of the most iron enriched regions of the world. This plant is the first of its kind (Grate Kiln Technology) in Odisha. The plant uses Hematite ore from the iron ore belt of Barbil, Dist. Keonjhar. We cater to both the domestic as well as the international markets. The current production of Pellets in India is approx. 60 million tons and is mostly being used for captive consumption. We are a Merchant Plant selling 100% of the product in the domestic and international markets.

A 1.35 MTPA iron ore beneficiation plant, commissioned in the second quarter of 2025, upgrades the ore to 64% Fe. This allows the Company to produce 65% Fe pellets, a grade that few merchant pellet plants in the region can offer.
