2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Ferro-alloys are among the essential inputs required for steelmaking. It improves the quality of steel, by controlling the harmful impurities and at the same time improves the mechanical properties of steel through alloying. Growth in Global as well as domestic steel industry directly drives the demand of Ferro-alloys. Since Indian steel industry is under massive expansion, there is a tremendous potential for investment in Ferro-alloy production. Steel being a basic commodity for all industrial activities, quantum of its consumption is considered an index of industrial prosperity. Since independence, there has been a substantial growth in the steel sector in from 1.5 Million Tons in 1950-51 to about 31 Million Tons at present. Additional steelmaking capacity of about 8 to 10 Million Tons /year exists in the secondary steel sector. Despite the above growth in the steel sector, the per capita steel consumption continues to remain at a level of about 27 kg only, compared to about 350 to 450 kg in the developed countries and 40 to 100 kg in some of the developing countries. Further, with nearly 20% of the world population, India’s contribution is only of the order of 3.4% of world steel production. Hence, short-term and long-term strategies are necessary in planning the development of the steel industry in the country to improve the level of per capita steel consumption. It is expected that with the measures taken by Govt. of India for promotion consumption of iron and steel and expected growth of Indian economy the requirement of steel will significantly increase and accordingly the domestic manufacturing capacity needs to be increase.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND/ OR REGION

India is the world’s third-largest producer of crude steel (up from eighth in 2003) and is expected to become the second-largest producer by 2016. The growth in the Indian steel sector has been driven by domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labor. Consequently, the steel sector has been a major contributor to India’s manufacturing output.

The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for continuous modernization and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy efficiency levels. While plant closures and privatization are rare in India, the private sector is considered to be the engine of growth in the steel industry and technological changes and modernization are taking place in both the public and the private sector integrated steel plants in India.

2.4DEMAND –SUPPLY GAP

Steel production of India accounted for 14.33 million tons in 1990-91, which gradually increased to 36.12 million tons in 2003-04. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 3 rd largest producer of crude steel in 2015 and the country continues to be the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world. As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan, there exist many factors which carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country. These include among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030 from the current level of 400 million, emergence of the rural market for steel currently consuming around 10 kg per annum. At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes (mt) by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and

Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd. Nalagarh, District-Solan, H.P. Page 5

brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan has projected that domestic crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 MT by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 MT if all requirements are adequately met. The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the Policy in 2005.India is expected to become the world's second largest producer of crude steel in the next 10 years, moving up from the third position, as its capacity is projected to increase to about 300 MT by 2025. Huge scope for growth is offered by India’s comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

2.5 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT During Construction phase the labors and workers will be hired from nearby areas. Number of persons required during construction phase will be around 50 and about 132 persons are required during operation phase .

3.5 Project Description with Process Details

Manufacturing Process Induction Furnace process includes melting of various types of steel scrap in a induction furnace. The energy needed for melting is provided by electrical power on continuous basis. As entire scrap melts certain alloys are added to make the desired grade of steel. Molten metal is then poured into Refractory Line Buckets where it is further poured in moulds to get the desired Ingot / Billets. Further Ingots / Billets allowed cooling down and then the desired Ingots / Billets are separated from the moulds.

Alternately, the unit will take molten metal into ladle, feed it into Concast and will manufacture Billets which will be at high temperature and will be rolled into desired section directly. This will lead to substantial energy saving in addition to environment friendly technology as co reheating of billets is required.
