Background

SAIL has Maharatna CPSE (Central Public Sector Enterprise) status by the Government of India under the Ministry of Steel.[1]

In 1959, DSP started production with an initial crude steel capacity of 1 mtpa, which was progressively increased to 1.8 mtpa during the modernisation which was announced in 1985 and further to 2.2 MTPA during recently completed Modernization & Expansion Plan (MEP).[2]

Under its Vision 2030 Programme, SAIL is planning a SAIL-wide expansion of 29.6 mtpa with an investment of over US $31 billion, which would entail an expansion of crude steel capacity to 7500 ttpa at the Durgapur plant.[3] The construction of the expansion project is expected to begin in 2024 and become operational by 2030.[4][3] As of September 2023, the expansion project is getting finalised.[5][6][7] As of August 2024, the brownfield modernisation efforts at Durgapur Steel Plant was put on-hold, with capex plans being reviewed and IISCO expansion was getting initiated.[8] In October 2024, director in-charge of both Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) and IISCO Steel Plant said that the expansion plans of these two mega steel plants of the state have already been approved. DSP would soon accommodate 4.73 MTPA capacity augmentations from its existing 2.20 MTPA.[9]
