PGCIL will use the MS channels and angles produced from NINL steel billets for electrical transmission towers across the country. 

NINL, jointly promoted by MMTC and two Odisha government PSUs, operates a 1.1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) steel plant at Duburi within the Kalinganagar Industrial Complex touted as the steel hub. NINL has branched into steel billets production to shore up margins.
