Background
Tata Steel Kalinganagar plant was envisioned for a crude steel capacity of 6 mtpa.[ 1] Phase-I of the project was commissioned in June 2016 and attained designed production capacity of 3 mtpa in less than two years.[ 2] The current crude steel capacity of Tata Steel Kalinganagar plant is 3 mtpa.[ 3]
Tata Steel later announced its plan to expand the capacity from 3 mtpa to 8 mtpa in the second phase. Phase-II of the project to expand basic oxygen furnace (BOF) capacity by 5 mtpa at a cost of INR 21,000 crores is under construction.[ 4] [ 5] Phase-II will involve addition of a blast furnace (BF) and BOF unit, enhancement of existing BOFs and addition of other auxiliary facilities.[ 6] [ 4] According to Tata Steel Integrated Annual report 2018-19, a 5800 m3 blast furnace is being built at the plant along with expansion of existing steel melting shop.[ 7] As of July 2023, the expansion was in progress.[ 8] The company commissioned the First Circuit of the 6 MnTPA Pellet plant and Pickling Line & Tandem Cold Mill Line of the 2.2 MnTPA Cold Rolling Mill complex in 2022-23, as part of the expansion.[ 9] BF 2 with a volume of 5870 m3 was commissioned in September 2024 at the Kalinganagar plant at a total investment of INR 27,000 crore.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
Decarbonization initiatives
Solar capacities at the plant was expanded to 14 MW through a mix of floating and rooftop installations.[ 12]
