Location
The map below shows the exact location of the steel plant in Tadipatri, in India.
Background
The Arjas Steel Tadipatri plant began operating in 2012 under Arjas Steel Pvt Ltd.[1] There are two captive power plants on-site producing around 70% of the energy needed at the facility (combined capacity of 21 MW).[2] The first captive power plant uses the waste heat of the coke plant (with a capacity of 15 MW) and the second captive power plant uses blast furnace gas (with a capacity of 6 MW).[1]
In 2018, six workers died and another four were injured after a carbon monoxide gas leak occurred at the plant.[3]
In 2019, another employee died after falling on a fork lift.[4]
Expansion
In 2019, Arjas Steel Ltd announced its plans to increase the capacity at the plant by 350 to 375 ttpa.[5] The company stated it would be investing Rs 200 crore on the expansion, which would be completed in 2023.[6] However, according to the OECD's steelmaking report, the completion date has been updated to 2030.[7]
