Essar Steel Limited has started shipping iron ore pellet from its recently
commissioned pellet plant at Paradip.
Last week, the
six-million tonne a year pellet plant sent 40,000 tonne of iron ore pellet to
be used at Essar's Hazira steel complex, in Gujarat. In May, it had shipped a
small quantity of 5,000 tonne pellet, said a shipping agent based at Paradip.
As per the original
plan, the pellet plant will use low grade iron ore fines that will be pumped
through pipelines as concentrates from Dabuna in north Orissa to Paradip, a
distance of 253 km.
The company is now getting iron ore for this plant from Kirandul in
Chhatishgarh, which also feeds raw material to the company's 8 million tonne
pellet plant at Vishakhapatnam.
