Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Tilda steel plant, also known as SBPIL, is a steel plant in Tilda, Tandwa, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India that operates steelmaking, basic oxygen furnace (BOF), blast furnace (BF), and direct reduced iron (DRI) technology.
SBPIL obtained environmental Clearance for setting up an Integrated Steel Plant at Tilda, in October 6th, 2010.[1] The plant began operation in 2013 with a capacity of 500 ttpa.[2] In 2021, the company later announced their plans to expand the capacity by another 500 ttpa.[1] In 2022, the company sought environmental clearance for the expansion project.[3]
In August 2025, the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) deferred the expansion project for various reasons, including unclear land demarcation, hydrological concerns, greenbelt and plantation gaps, etc. A sub-committee plans to conduct a site visit to examine the concerns and fund appraisal will follow based on their findings.[4]
As part of the expansion project, blast furnace, sinter plant, steel melting shop, coke oven battery, etc., were EC granted in 2010, but these were not established within the EC validity period. The company, in August 2024, submitted a fresh application for EC with the modified project plan.[5]
