Background
Bashundhara Multi Steel Plant announced its plan to incest US $500 million to build and an electric arc furnace with a capacity of 1.25 mtpa in Mirsarai, Bangladesh, expected to become operational within the year 2025.[1][2] The construction of the plant was expected to start in January 2021.[3] The project was inaugurated on 20 November, 2022, among two other projects of the Bashundhara Group.[4]
In January 2021, Bashundhara Group, ordered a MIDA endless-casting rolling minimill from Danieli to produce more than 1 Mtpy of rebar and wirerod for the local market, to be installed at upcoming plant in Mirsarai.[5] In September 2022, Bashundhara Multisteel Industries Limited signed a contract with SMS group to install an integrated facility to produce more than two million tons of hot rolled coils annually with the goal of filling the gap in demand for flat products in Bangladesh.[6]
