Refractory Sector Must Focus On Indigenous Raw Material R&D: IRMA
The Indian refractory industry can grow if the steel industry grows. For every ton of crude steel manufactured, around 11 kg of refractory is required. In the government’s 300 million tons of crude steel production plan by 2030, Indian refractory makers must be allowed to participate. If Chinese refractory makers take away a sizeable share, then it will pose a problem. Also, the stress should now be on developing R&D for indigenous raw materials. Working toward this end, the Indian Refractory Makers Association (IRMA) has just signed a MoU with IIT-BHU, Varanasi for developing a refractory centre of excellence, Anirbandip Dasgupta, Senior Executive Officer, IRMA

Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT), the first major and only riverine port in the country, has fixed a tonnage target of 65 mt, in which the share of iron ore, finished steel products and coal would be around 30-35 mt, and a 10 percent growth in revenues for the current fiscal after registering a 13 percent tonnage growth in the last fiscal. The port is further poised to serve the entire trade hinterland of the eastern and north-eastern part of the country through an additional capacity in the form of the Tajpur Port, the consultancy work for which has already started rolling.
