Background
Srikalahasthi Works (SW) of Electrosteel is an integrated facility spread across a 242 acres. The 4,00,000 TPA Ductile Iron Pipe Plant is integrated with the 5,25,000 TPA Mini Blast Furnace capacity, 2,80,000 TPA Coke Oven Plant, 22 MW Waste Heat Recovery captive Power Plant 2,00,000 TPA Cement Plant, 16,000 TPA Ferro Silicon Plant and 5 MLD Municipal Sewage Water Recycling Plant. The Blast Furnace Gas from the Mini Blast Furnace caters to various energy requirements, thereby reducing carbon emission significantly.[1] Srikalahasthi Pipes Limited was merged into Electrosteel Castings Limited in 2022.[2]
As of August 2025, the blast furnace was being operated at lower yield.[3]
