Requirement of Power for Expansion of Steel Plants
The current modernization and expansion programme of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) envisages an increase in the present hot metal production from 14.6 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) to 23.46 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) by 2012-13. The increase in production capacity is expected to increase the average power requirement of SAIL steel plants and mines from present 1000 Mega Watt (MW) to 1900 Mega Watt (MW) after completion of the modernization and expansion programme.
To meet the increased requirement of power, SAIL has requested various state utility grids, Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) and NTPC-SAIL Power Supply Company Ltd. (NSPCL – a Joint Venture of SAIL and NTPC). NSPCL is conducting the Feasibility Study Report to set-up a total 1725 Mega Watt (MW) power plant to meet the power requirement of SAIL. The magnitude of investment will be known after completion of Feasibility Reports.
