Mechanical, Hardware Plants & Equipments

Godawari Power & Ispat has put on hold an expansion of its steel plant at Siltara Industrial Estate, dist. Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The expansion will entail installation of new units, namely 1 MTPA iron ore beneficiation project, a 0.3 MTPA rolling mill, a 5,000 TPA arc furnace and a 20 MW biomass-based CPP. Land has been acquired. The start date of the project is yet to be finalized. According to MoEF sources, the company has applied for an amendment in the existing rolling mill capacity of 300,000 TPA to 400,000 TPA. The change in technology is also included since the company is producing the rolled products via direct hot charging process instead of conventional reheating process, in which continuous cast billets are directly fed into the rolling mill. Moreover, the speed of the mill will be increased with the help of DC variable drive to achieve the required capacity of 400,000 TPA. There will be no requirement of any type of fuel in the hot charging process of rolling and the SO2 emission will be zero. For the purpose of setting up these facilities, there will be no additional requirement of land.
