Atibir Industries Bhorandiha steel plant, also known as Atibir Industries Unit-II, is a steel plant in Bhorandiha, Giridih, Jharkhand, India that operates blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Bhorandiha, Giridih, Jharkhand, India:
- Location: Bhorandiha, Udnabad, Giridih (Jharkhand), India
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 24.145239, 86.334999 (exact)
Background
The Atibir Industries steel plant began operating in 2009 under Atibir Industries Co.[1] Of the proposed units two blast furnaces were installed at the plant, the BOF converters have not been implemented even in 2023.[2] As of January 2025, there has been no developments in this regard.
In 2013, part of the plant had to be temporarily closed due to a violation of environmental regulations. It was discovered that the plant was depositing waste into the nearby river; as a consequence, they paid a Rs 5 lakh fine.[3]
In 2018, the Atibir Industries steel plant was categorized as 'highly polluting,' along with 51 other companies, by the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board.[4]
