Construction work on Tata Steel's six
million tpa integrated steel plant at Kalinganagar in Jajpur district of Orissa
is expected to commence by July 2008. The project will entail an investment of
Rs.15,400 crore.
It is learnt that, the company has
applied for the mines to the Orissa government for meeting the iron ore
requirement of the proposed project. Iron ore requirement for the plant will be
done in two phases, at about 250 million tpa over a period of 25 years.
Meanwhile, the company is started
offsite steel fabrication for hot strip mills in an area leased out from
Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) near Jajpur Road to reduce the
construction time for the project. Besides, the construction of the incoming
material section yard is almost complete.
