05 Dec 2011 Evaluate

JSW Steel plans to establish a coke oven plant of 1 million tonnes per year capacity anda pellet plant of 4 million tonnes/annum at JSW Ispat Steel (JISL) Ltd's Dolvisteel complex. The move is expected to help accelerate the turnaround ofJSW Ispat. An investment of about Rs 660 crore in various projects includingenhancement of lime production, railway siding, gas-based power plant andcold-rolling facility at Dolvi is also on the anvil, both by the parent companyand by JISL.

Lime production capacity was 600 tonnes per day (tpd) whilethe requirement was over 1,200 tpd and this was expected to rise to around1,800 tpd once the steel-making capacity was hiked to 5 MTPY. To meet the needfor lime, it was planned to set up a lime calcining plant of 600 tpd capacityat Dolvi at an estimated cost of Rs 75 crore. A railway siding facilityadjacent to Dolvi steel complex is planned to be commissioned in 15 months atan investment of Rs 90 crore.

The company said that to ensure regular supply of power andsave costs, a gas-based power plant of 55 MW capacity using waste gas beinggenerated by the blast furnace as feed-mix has been proposed at a cost of aboutRs 155 crore. The project is expected to be commissioned in 18 months. A secondcolour coating line at its Kalmeshwar complex on an investment of Rs 40 crorehas been proposed. Significantly, all these projects of JISL are to be financedthrough internal accruals. With a view to ensuring raw material integration andsave input costs, JSW Steel plans to set up a coke oven plant of 1 milliontonnes per annum capacity and a pellet plant of 4 mtpa capacity at the Dolvisteel complex. This would protect JISL from market risks in sourcing qualitycoke and pellets for its steel-making operations.
