Private Steel Producers are opting for Forward as well as Backward Integration
Indian Steel Producers are increasingly looking for overseas acquisitions in steel as well as raw materials.
INTRODUCTION OF SAIL
The fourth integrated steel plant in the public sector conceived in 1959.
Actually started in 1965 with the collaboration of soviet union construction.
Bokaro steel plant was originally incorporated as a limited company in January 1964.
But after the formation of SAIL in 1973, it become a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIL in terms of public sector iron and steel companies (restructuring and miscellaneous provision Act in 1978).
Bokaro steel plant has a reservoir of nearly 34000 employees.
Sort description of production process
Raw Materials & Material Handling Plant
The Raw Materials and Material Handling Plant receives blends, stores and supplies different raw materials to Blast Furnace, Sinter Plant and Refractory Materials Plant.
Blast Furnaces
The Blast Furnaces produce molten iron - Hot Metal - for steel making.
Bell-less Top Charging, modernized double Cast Houses, Coal Dust Injection and Cast House Slag Granulation technologies have been deployed in the furnaces.
The process of iron-making is automated, using PLC Charging System and Computer Controlled Supervision System.
