Greenfield blast furnace for Rourkela Steel Plant, India
Oct 4, 2008
The Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) placed an order for the design and construction of a fifth, greenfield blast furnace at Rourkela Steel Plant with a consortium consisting of Danieli Corus BV from IJmuiden, The Netherlands and Tata Projects Limited from Kolkata, India.
The current four furnaces in Rourkela produce 2 million tonnes of hot metal per annum. The addition of this new furnace will more than double this production capacity. The project is part of SAIL's long term expansion plan, which envisages an increase in production for the entire company of around 85 % within five years.
The formation of the consortium with Tata Projects marks a major milestone in the synergy and co-operation achieved within the Tata Group of companies. It enables the group to execute iron and steel projects in India on a "turn-key" basis.
