Vietnam: Binh Thuan Mineral Industry JSC (KSA) on 26 December 2014 was given the investment certificate to start construction on a 60,000t/yr titanium slag processing plant. The plant, located on 0.11km² of land in the Thanh Hai Industrial Cluster, plans to produce titanium slag for export to Japan and South Korea, where demand is high.

KSA has been building the infrastructure for the project for four years, from basic design and equipment selection to researching markets and preparing an appraisal for submission to the prime minister. To ensure material input, KSA acquired shares in companies that have existing mines or were already co-operating with existing mines. Thang Hai Industrial Cluster was the first in the country to specialise in titanium processing and is considered Vietnam's first titanium industry hub.

India: Neelachal Ispat Nigam (NINL), a joint venture between MMTC, Industrial Promotion & Investment Corporation of Odisha (Ipicol) and Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC), is reportedly planning to expand its steel output to 6Mt/yr from the existing level of 1.1Mt/yr. 

The expansion is expected to happen within five years. The cost of the expansion is likely to be around US$4.73bn, out of which US$631m has already been invested. At present, NINL's product portfolio includes pig iron and low ash mettalurgical (LAM) coke, along with nut coke, coke breeze, crude tar, ammonium sulphate and granulated slag. The envisaged products in the future include billets, bars and wire rods of different grades and sizes.
