Arjas Steel Tadipatri plant, also known as Gerdau Steel India (formerly), is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steel plant operating in Tadipatri, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Tadipatri, Andhra Pradesh, India:
- Location: Jambulapadu(v) Tadipatri Mandal, Ananthpur District Andhra Pradesh, Pincode - 515411, India
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 14.873471, 78.048425 (exact)
Background
The Arjas Steel Tadipatri plant began operating in 2012 under Arjas Steel Pvt Ltd.[1] There are two captive power plants on-site producing around 70% of the energy needed at the facility (combined capacity of 21 MW).[2] The first captive power plant uses the waste heat of the coke plant (with a capacity of 15 MW) and the second captive power plant uses blast furnace gas (with a capacity of 6 MW).[1]
In 2018, six workers died and another four were injured after a carbon monoxide gas leak occurred at the plant.[3]
In 2019, another employee died after falling on a fork lift.[4]
Expansion
A 2010 Environment Management plan details the plan to expand the plant capacity from 300 ttpa to 1000 ttpa.[5] In 2019, Arjas Steel Ltd announced its plans to increase the capacity at the plant by 350 to 375 ttpa with an investment of INR 350 crore.[6][7] The company stated it would be investing Rs 200 crore on the expansion, which would be completed in 2023.[8] However, according to the OECD's steelmaking report, the completion date has been updated to 2030.[9] As of December 2022, the expansion has already begun and is expected to commence operations in 2025.[10]
