State-owned iron ore miner NMDC Limited will commence production from its 3 million tonnes per annum (mnt pa) integrated steel plant at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh by early 2018, according to government officials.
The capacity of the steel plant will be about 60% for the first year and would go up gradually to 100% over a period of time.
The country's largest iron ore producer and exporter is setting up the steel plant as part of its expansion, value addition and forward integration programme. The project, coming up some 16 km from Jagdalpur, would be set up with an estimated INR 155.25 billion outlay.

Let's Get Carbon-Smart
Innovations are inevitable for the global steel industry to ride over the myriad challenges that the worldwide environmental crisis has thrown up. And almost all the ground-breaking innovations in steel technology have been geared towards confronting and mitigating the carbon challenge. The singular objective of disruptive technologies is to become, what has been aptly termed as “carbon smart”, by not just replacing fossil sources with natural gases for metals production but also recycling fossils and wastes to produce useful products at an industrial scale, thereby providing a huge fillip to the global circular economy. Steel360 turns the spotlight on three “green” technologies that are setting new benchmarks in the industry.
