A capacity addition of 1,15,500 TPA has already been completed, bringing the total production capacity to 1,87,500 TPA. This expansion involved an investment of Rs. 73.55 crore, funded through a mix of debt and internal accruals.
The second initiative focuses on power generation for the domestic market. From an initial base of zero, the company has added a total of 30 MW capacity, comprising 12 MW of Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) and 18 MW of Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion (AFBC) technology. This entire power capacity has been installed with an investment of Rs. 178.15 crore.
The third product is Ferro Manganese/Silico Manganese/Pig Iron/Ferro Silicon for both domestic and international markets. Previously operating with no capacity in this segment, the company has received CTO (Consent to Operate) for 29,403 TPA out of a planned 39,204 TPA. This expansion is already in place, backed by a total investment of Rs. 32.25 crore.
The final product under this expansion drive is MS Billets, classified under the Iron and Steel segment, intended for the domestic market.
