Details: Category: Chhattisgarh Steel Projects

Vandana Global to expand its ferro alloy plant at Sonkara in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. The project involves expanding Ferro Alloy Plant (18,000 to 36,000 TPA), Bloom & Billet (1,29,000 to 3,09,000 TPA) and installation of Rolling Mill (2,16,000 TPA). The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 247 million. The expansion details of the new unit are as follows.

S.N.	Details	Capacity (TPA)
S.N.	Details	Existing	Proposed	Total
1	Induction Furnace	1,29,000	1,80,000	3,09,000
2	Ferro Alloy Plant	18,000	18,000	36,000
3	Rolling Mills	-	2,16,000	2,16,000
4	Captive Thermal Power Plant	38 MW	-	38 MW
5.	Sponge Iron Plant	2,16,000	-	2,16,000

Iron ore, coal, dolomite/ limestone will be fed to the rotary kiln for the direct reduction of iron, cooled and separated for coal ash and coal char. Sponge Iron will be produced using iron ore (haematite) and non-coking coal. In rolling mill, red-hot materials (billets or blooms) will pass through rolling mill to produce various designs on the rolls.
