Ceylon Steel has invested around 10 billion in expansion of its facilities in Oruwala, just outside Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, officials said.

The firm sells under the brand 'Lanwa' a diminutive based on a Sinhalese language term for Lanka Steel.

Even in the budget for 2013 presented last week, import taxes on several types of steel products were raised.
