Melbourne (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Australia's biggest steelmaker, BlueScope Steel Ltd (ASX:BSL), will reinvigorate expansion in Indonesia with a $US101 million ($A122 million) investment to complete the construction of a second metallic coating line at its Cilegon operation.

Located 100km west of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, the new line will be dedicated to producing BlueScope's thin-gauge coil, used primarily in residential construction.
