| Continuous Annealing and Processing Line |
The implementation of the 0.6 mtpa Continuous Annealing and Processing Line (CAPL) project at Jamshedpur for the production of automotive cold rolled flat products is progressing as per schedule for its commissioning by the end of 2013. A Joint Venture Company between Nippon Steel Corporation and Tata Steel India will complete the project implementation and serve the growing needs of Indian automotive customers for high-end cold rolled coils and sheets.
CAPL technology is best suited for the production of high-quality automotive skin panel steels and for the production of high-strength grades of cold rolled steels. These product offerings will expand the existing product range of cold rolled coils and sheets for automotive customers, thereby enabling them to substitute imports and achieve their objective of localisation.

| Dhamra Port Company |
The Dhamra Port Company Limited (DPCL) is a 50:50 joint venture between L&T and Tata Steel. DPCL has been awarded a concession by the Government of Odisha to build and operate a port north of the mouth of the river Dhamra in Bhadrak district, Odisha on a BOOST (Build, Own, Operate, Share and Transfer) basis for a period of 34 years, with an option for renewal.
Situated between Haldia and Paradeep, the port at Dhamra will be one of the deepest ports of India with a depth of 18 metres, which can accommodate super capesize vessels up to 180,000 DWT. The master plan provides for 13 berths and, at its full capacity, the port is expected to be capable of handling more than 100 mtpa of dry bulk, liquid bulk, break bulk, containerised and general cargo.
Dharma Port, India
The immediate hinterland of Dhamra is rich in mineral resources with reserves of iron ore, thermal coal, nickel, bauxite and chromite, all of which have brisk export demand. The area is also home to some of the largest steel producers in India who import coking coal to meet their requirements.
Presently two berths of the port have been fully developed. These are a mechanised import berth handling coal and limestone and an export berth for iron ore. The import
and export circuit is equipped with ship unloader, stacker reclaimer, RCC silos and rail-loading facilities. The estimated aggregate capacity of the import and export circuit is 27 mtpa. The project has already had a positive effect on the Company's logistics cost of imported coking coal.
