One million tonne expansion plan

The one million tonne expansion plan has been launched to produce 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of additional steel over the current capacity of 4 MTPA. This project will help produce high quality and more energy efficient steel.

The expansion project includes :

• A raw material Bedding & Blending plant

• A new Sinter plant of size 204 sq.m. to produce
  2 MTPA of sinter

• Conversion of one existing curved mould caster to a
  vertical mould caster to produce high quality steel
  for the auto sector in the LD-2 steel melting furnace and   slab casting shop.

As part of the expansion plan, the ‘G’ Blast Furnace has been re-built to increase its capacity from 1.2 MTPA to 1.8 MTPA.

• A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Government of Orissa for setting up a green-field integrated steel plant at Kalinganagar, Orissa. The project also includes infrastructure development like modern townships for employees.
   
• A joint venture agreement has been signed with Larsen and Toubro Limited to develop a deep-water port at Dhamra, Orissa.
   
• Tata Steel & West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) will set up a merchant coke oven plant at Haldia (Hooghly Met Coke & Power Co. Ltd.) adopting the Heat Recovery (HR) route with a capacity of 0.8 MTPA of coke in Phase 1. The project is intended to supply high quality low ash metallurgical coke to international as well as domestic customers.
