Tata Steel’s journey on its 2 MT expansion program
has started on 1st July 2005. The first step has been taken by deciding the order on M/s
Outokumpu and L&T, for setting up a 2 MT iron ore sinter plant. M/s Outokumpu is a
technology leader in this field and has designed 300 such plants across the world
including the existing three sinter plants at Jamshedpur Works. The sintering process
makes iron ore fines suitable for use in iron making in blast furnace.
The one million tonne expansion program at Jamshedpur is near its
completion. Tata Steel has now initiated a further two million tonne expansion program in
line with its vision of becoming a 15 MT Steel Company by 2010.
