Even while it is consolidating its current round of expansion, SAIL’s Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) is looking to commence documentation work and undertake feasibility study for the next phase of expansion. The BSP had recently undergone modernisation and expansion, raising the plant’s production capacity to approximately 7 million tonne (mt) from 4 mt at an estimated investment of around Rs.17,000 crore.
According to Anirban Dasgupta, Chief Executive Officer, BSP, plans are afoot to enhance the production capacity to 10 mt by 2030. Work on the next phase of expansion is likely to commence by 2024-25.“For the next three to four years, the focus will be on consolidating the current expansion, but we will start working on the documentation part of the next phase of expansion, which includes undertaking feasibility study, preparing detailed project report etc,” Dasgupta.
