Background

The Atibir Industries steel plant began operating in 2009 under Atibir Industries Co. Of the proposed units two blast furnaces were installed at the plant, the BOF converters have not been implemented even in 2023. As of October 2025, no developments have been reported in this regard.

ESJ issues

In 2013, part of the plant had to be temporarily closed due to a violation of environmental regulations. It was discovered that the plant was depositing waste into the nearby river; as a consequence, they paid a Rs 5 lakh fine.

In 2018, the Atibir Industries steel plant was categorized as 'highly polluting,' along with 51 other companies, by the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board.
