Power Generation and Distribution

Shree Shyam Sponge And Power, a part of Mahamaya Group, proposes a WHR and FBC power plant at Village Bachhera, dist. Baloda Bazar, Chhattisgarh. The project will come up as part of expansion of its steel plant. The current status of the project could not be ascertained. According to MoEF sources, the project will come up under 2 phases. The existing plant comprises of 2x50 TPD DRI kilns (producing 33,000 TPA sponge iron). 2x150 TPD (99,000 TPA) will be added under phase-I and 1x350 TPD (115,500 TPA) will be added under phase-II. The total capacity after expansion will be 247,500 TPA. Addition of new products include i) 3x12T induction furnace with Concast (108,000 TPA MS billets) under phase-I and 3x12T (108,000 TPA) under phase-II ii) 1x350 TPD rolling mill (105,000 TPA structural steel and rolled products) under phase-I and 1x350 TPD rolling mill (105,000 TPA) under phase-II iii) 1x9 mVA submerged electric arc furnace under phase-I and 1x9 mVA submerged electric arc furnace under phase-II to produce FeMn/ SiMn/ FeSi iv) WHRB power plant: 2x3.0 MW under phase-I and 1x8.0 MW under phase-II v) FBC power plant: 15 MW under phase-I. The expansion will come up within the existing 50-acre plant premises. The estimated total cost of the expansion project is Rs. 1,850 million. Power requirement will be met from proposed WHRB and FBC power plant. Surplus power will be exported to the grid. Phase-I & Phase-II will be implemented in 48 months from the date of receipt of environmental clearance from the MoEF & CC & Consent from CECB. [Info as of: Mar. `17]
