State-run steel maker SAIL, commissioned two facilities in its Bhilai plant on 18 October, 2014. This was part of the company’s ongoing expansion and modernisation programme.
The two units -- one is a sinter machine and the other a coke oven battery -- have been set up with a cost of around Rs 2,000 crore. SAIL envisages raising its hot metal capacity to 7.5 million tpa as part of the Rs 17,265 crore capex.
The coke oven battery, coke dry cooling plant and the by-product plant have been installed at an investment of Rs 1,213.11 crore and will boost the coke making capacity by 0.88 million tpa. The cost of the installation of the sinter machine is Rs 730 crore and the machine will produce 3,708 million tonne sinter per annum.
SAIL expects to fortify its position in the steel sector with two facilities in its Bhilai plant.
