Pune | 16 December 2025: India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) story continues to gain momentum as ArcelorMittal, one of the world’s largest steel and mining majors, strengthens its presence in the country with a significant expansion of its GCC operations.

Operating across 100+ countries, ArcelorMittal has been steadily scaling its India footprint to support global technology, engineering, and digital transformation priorities. The company’s latest moves signal a clear strategic intent: India is becoming a core engine for enterprise capability and innovation.

Pune Signals Scale, Hyderabad Signals Strategy

In a recent development, ArcelorMittal Global Capability Centre has taken up a large office footprint at Nalanda SEZ IT Park in Pune, reinforcing the city’s role as an established GCC destination for engineering, IT, and shared services. Pune continues to attract global enterprises looking to tap into deep technical talent, mature infrastructure, and strong academic linkages.

More significantly, ArcelorMittal is now setting up its largest Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad, marking a decisive shift toward consolidating advanced capabilities in India. The Hyderabad GCC is expected to anchor global technology platforms, digital transformation initiatives, engineering services, and next-generation enterprise solutions for the group.

ArcelorMittal’s decision aligns with a broader industry trend. Hyderabad has rapidly evolved into one of India’s most preferred GCC destinations, driven by:

• A strong technology and engineering talent base
• Proactive state support for global enterprises
• A mature ecosystem for digital, analytics, and AI-led capabilities
• The ability to scale large, multi-function global teams

For global manufacturing and industrial majors like ArcelorMittal, Hyderabad offers the right mix of domain expertise, digital capability, and operational resilience – critical for supporting complex global operations.

From Shared Services to Global Capability Leadership

ArcelorMittal’s India GCC journey reflects a wider shift underway across the GCC ecosystem. Global enterprises are moving beyond traditional shared services to build integrated capability centres that combine:

• Core engineering and technology development
• Digital and automation-led transformation
• Enterprise services across finance, procurement, and operations
• Advanced analytics and platform modernization

While specific leadership commentary on the expansion has not been publicly disclosed, the scale and intent of these investments underscore the growing confidence global boards place in India as a long-term capability hub, not a tactical offshore location.

India’s GCC Momentum Continues

With over 1,900+ GCCs and more than 2 million professionals, India remains at the centre of global capability creation. ArcelorMittal’s expanding presence across Pune and Hyderabad further validates this trajectory – especially for industrial, engineering, and asset-intensive enterprises that require deep, specialized capabilities.

As SSF Global continues to track GCC evolution, developments like these reaffirm a defining trend:

India’s GCCs are becoming strategic assets that power global growth, resilience, and innovation.
