Tata Steel has dedicated its Kalinganagar Steel plant to the State of Odisha. The Kalinganagar Steel Plant is the largest single-location Greenfield steel project in India. The first phase (3MnTPA) of 6MnTPA will produce world-class flat, lighter, high-tensile strength steel and will augment its Indian production to around 13MnTPA of crude steel in India.
Speaking on the momentous occasion, Mr Cyrus P Mistry, Chairman Tata Steel India & SEA. Said: “The Kalinganagar Steel plant is yet another journey of growth and development for Odisha, Tata Group and Tata Steel. It is indeed a great pleasure to dedicate this plant to the State of Odisha today. This plant is our key commitment towards nation building and an effort to ensure sustainable growth. I am confident that the plant will achieve global benchmarks in steel production, and at the same time will remain committed to growth and development of the State of Odisha.”
The plant will witness the seamless movement of raw material with its twin wagon tippler, the first installation in India having unloading capacity of 20MnTPA. The steel plant also has the most advanced carbon hearth technology along with on-site power generation (202MW) through gases discharged by coke oven and blast furnace.
