STEEL AUTHORITY OF LIMITED STEEL PLANT Addition of 2.0 MTPA Pellet plant, a 7 m tall Coke Oven Battery and a 360m2 Sinter plant at , Bokaro, ()

PROJECT SUMMARY

Bokaro Steel plant has already been accorded EC on 16.10.2008 by MoEF for expansion of its capacity from 4.0 MTPA to 7.0 MTPA of crude steel vide memo no. J- 11011/99/2007-IA II(I). Extension of the EC was accorded for a period of five years w.e.f. 15.10.2013 vide memo no. J-11011/99/2007-IA II(I) dtd. 24.01.2014.

The proposed addition to the project will be carried out within the existing plant premises of which is located in vicinity of BIADA industrial estate of Bokaro Steel City, Sub-division Bokaro of in Jharkhand, at longitude 86°02' to 86°09’ E and latitude 23°38' to 23°42' N. The plant is situated 215 to 243m above MSL gently rolling towards River Damodar, flowing west to east.

The proposed facilities in the expansion programme of existing Bokaro Steel Plant of 7.0 MTPA production capacity are as follows:

Sn. Proposed unit/facility Production Capacity/ configuration 1. Pellet Plant 2.0 MTPA 0.768 MTPA, 7 m tall top charged (68 2. Coke Oven Battery ovens) COB

The raw material required for the additional facilities will be sourced from existing sources. Iron ore fines will be sourced from Bolani iron ore mines and Kiriburu & Meghataburu Iron ore deposits. Limestone will be sourced from quarries of Kuteshwar and Bhawanathpur while dolomite requirement shall be met from quarries of Tulsidamar. Coal requirement shall be met mostly by imported coal and a small percentage (approx. 36%) of indigenous coal sourced from , Monnidih, , Kathara, Mohuda and other coal mines.

The requirement of additional water for the expansion has been estimated to be about 455 m3/h and it will be met from existing source Tenughat. It is also envisaged to treat and recycle entire quantity of water.

The additional power requirement for the project will be 32 MVA. which will be met from existing facilities. The additional fuel/energy requirement is shall be met from existing BF gas and Coke Oven gas generation from within the plant.

The estimated project cost for the proposed expansion in Bokaro Steel Plant is approximately Rs. 2388.17 Cr. (Rs. 1496.55 Cr. + Rs. 891.62 Cr.). This broadly covers the cost of Civil & Structural work, Main plant facilities and related environmental protection equipment.
