Brief Description
· DRI: Sponge Iron is manufactured by using coal based technology where
iron ore is reduced to iron in a rotary kiln fired by non-coking coal. Input
charge comprising of iron ore, coal and dolomite are fed into the kiln. The
Sponge Iron is then discharged through the cooler and discharge on to a
heat resistant belt conveyor to be carried into product processing zone.

· Steel Melting Shop: Sponge Iron is charged into Steel Melting Shop with
scrap and pig iron to manufacture mild steel. The liquid steel is cast into
semi-finished products such as billets, blooms, slabs etc
· Rolling Mill: Billets produced are first heated in a reheating furnace
until they are red hot (1200°C) and then passed through roughing stand.
A stand is a collection of steel rolls (or drums) on which pressure can be
applied to squeeze the hot steel passing through them, and arranged so
as to form the steel into the required shape. The roughing stand is the
first part of the rolling mill. Each pass gradually changes the shape and
dimension of the steel closer to that of the required finished product and
the last pass delivers finished size of the product.
LOCATION
Chosen location for the Integrated Steel Plant to produce Finished Steel will be
Purulia, West Bengal. Following are the Location Advantages:
Purulia in the state of West Bengal declared as Industrial estate it is located
adjacent to the State Highway. Purulia is now one of the most important
industrial destinations of the state of West Bengal.

Land: Purulia has good road connectivity for the purpose of man and
material movement. As the location has a barren (non agricultural) area
therefore acquisition of land will not pose any kind of difficulty
Civic Amenities: The plant site is situated near Asansol town. All
necessary civil amenities (e.g. educational institution, college, school,
hospital etc) are available.
Transport: The nearest railway station is Purulia and Asansol. The
nearest Airport is located at Kolkata which is 325 Kms away from the
site. This gives convenience in man & material movement
Manpower: Availability of Skilled labour will not pose any problem as
various engineering institutes are located in the nearby area.
Water: The requirement of the fresh water to meet process make up and
drinking needs will be made available through pipe lines from nearest
Kasai River.

Power: The total power requirement for the proposed unit can be
sourced from Captive Power Plant. Balance if any can be sourced easily
from nearby power supply station DVC & WBSEDCL.
State Advantage: In West Bengal, the steel industry enjoys a logistical
advantage, growing market and an investment friendly industrial
climate. An abundant raw material supply makes it a preferred
industrial destination. The state attracted an estimated proposed
investment of Rs. 1,27,302 crore in Q3 2007-08. The principal
investments will be allocated towards power (Rs. 20,450 crore), steel (Rs.
17,133 crore) as well as oil and petroleum (Rs. 4,850 crore), creating a
significant opportunity for the consumption of steel.
State Incentive Scheme: Since the location of the plant falls under the
Group C category as categorized under The West Bengal State Support
for Industries Scheme, the unit will enjoy following incentives as
categorized in the West Bengal Incentive scheme 2008 which are
summarized as follows:
