Action Ispat & Power to expand its steel plant at Marakuta & Pondaripathar

Details: Category: Meghalaya Steel Projects

Action Ispat & Power to expand its steel plant at Marakuta & Pondaripathar in Jharsuguda district in Orissa with an investment of Rs. 8375 million. The project involves setting up of Integrated Steel Plant (1,15,000 TPA to 6,00,000 TPA), WHRB (8 MW to 40 MW) and FBB (108 MW). Following are the details of existing and proposed plant :

Plants	Existing	Expansion	Total
DRI (Sponge Iron)	1,15,000 TPA	4,85,000 TPA	6,00,000 TPA
Net Captive Power (WHRB)	8 MW	32 MW	40 MW
Net Captive Power (FBB)	-	108 MW	108 MW
Mini Blast Furnace (Pig Iron)	-	3,00,000 TPA	3,00,000 TPA
Steel Melt Shop (Steel Billet)	1,25,000 TPA	6,75,000 TPA	8,00,000 TPA
Steel Rolling Mill	-	5,00,000 TPA	5,00,000 TPA
Coal Washery	-	450 TPH	450 TPH

DRI-Rotary kiln process using mainly non-coking coal as solid reductant will be used. Captive power will be sourced from waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) and Fluidized bed boiler (FBB). Steel melting shop (SMS) will involve ARC Furnace-IF with LRF & CCM/BF and re-rolling.
