JSW Steel Ltd plans to establish a coke oven plant of 1
million tonnes per year capacity and a pellet plant of 4 million tonnes/annum
at JSW Ispat Steel (JISL) Ltd's Dolvi steel complex. The move is expected to
help accelerate the turnaround of JSW Ispat.
An investment of about Rs 660 crore in various projects
including enhancement of lime production, railway siding, gas-based power plant
and cold-rolling facility at Dolvi is also on the anvil, both by the parent
company and by JISL.
JISL said its lime production capacity was 600 tonnes per
day (tpd) while the requirement was over 1,200 tpd and this was expected to
rise to around 1,800 tpd once the steel-making capacity was hiked to 5 MTPY.
A railway siding facility adjacent to Dolvi steel complex is
also planned to be commissioned in 15 months at an investment of Rs 90 crore.
JSW Steel Ltd has also proposed to establish a 0.8 million
tpa cold-rolling facility at the Dolvi steel complex to augment JISL's efforts
to capture downstream opportunities.
The project is expected to cost around Rs 300 crore and is
likely to be commissioned within 18 months.
