The project will be established over an area of around 46 acres and is expected to generate employment for over 920 persons, providing a significant boost to industrial employment in the region. The project will be implemented in three phases, with the first phase targeted to become operational by September 2027.
The proposed unit will have an installed capacity of 5.40 lakh metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) and will manufacture Round Bars, Wire Rods, Coils and Flats, using scrap and ferro alloys as raw materials. The facility is proposed to operate on a triple-shift basis for nearly 350 days a year, reflecting the scale and continuous nature of operations.
