Prakash Industries Janjgir steel plant, also known as PIL, is a steel plant in Janjgir, Chhattisgarh, India that operates direct reduced iron (DRI) and induction furnace (IF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Janjgir, Chhattisgarh, India:
- Location: Village – Champa, Distt. Janjgir, Chhattisgarh – 495671
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 22.004694, 82.671666 (exact)
Background
Prakash Industries Ltd was founded in the year 1980.[1] The plant comprises of direct reduced iron kilns and induction furnaces. The company enhanced its steel production capacity to 1250 ttpa in the FY21.[2]
In May 2024, the proposed the expansion of the steel plant with the establishment of new Iron Ore Beneficiation (1.0 MTPA), new Iron Ore Pelletisation Unit (1.5 MTPA), new Coal Gasifier for Pellet Plant (5 x 8000 Nm3/hr), new Coal Washery (2 x 1.0 MTPA), new Wire Rod /TMT Mill (4 x 0.25 MTPA), new Coal Gasifier for Wire Rod / TMT Mill (5 x 8000 Nm3/hr.) and the expansion of FBC-based Power Plant (162.5 MW to 165 MW) and oxygen plant (8.0 TPD to 16 TPD).[3] In November 2024, Prakash Industries Limited received the mining lease for Bhaskarpara commercial coal mine located in Chhattisgarh’s Surajpur district, production at which is expected to begin operations in 2025.[4]
ESJ issues
A furnace blast at the steel plant injured 13 workers In April 20205. The explosion took place in a 15 ton capacity induction furnace.[5][6]
