Atibir Industries steel plant, also known as Atibir Industries Unit-II, is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steel plant operating in Bhorandiha, Jharkhand, India.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Bhorandiha, Jharkhand, India:
- Location: Bhorandiha, Udnabad, Giridih (Jharkhand), India
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 24.145239, 86.334999 (exact)
Background
The Atibir Industries steel plant began operating in 2009 under Atibir Industries Co.[1] Of the proposed units two blast furnaces were installed at the plant, the BOF converters have not been implemented even in 2023.[2]
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.[3]
In 2018, the Atibir Industries steel plant was categorized as 'highly polluting,' along with 51 other companies, by the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board.[4]
