Background

The JSW Ispat Special Products Raigarh steel plant was established in 1994 as Monnet Ispat & Energy Limited, whose name was later changed to JSW Ispat Special Products Limited in 2020, after being acquired by JSW Steel in August 2018 following near-bankruptcy.[1][2] Prior to acquisition the plant was shut for over four years.[3]

In 2022, JSW Steel announced plans to enhance the installed crude steel capacity at the Raigarh facility to 1.2 MTPA from 0.95 MTPA.[4] JSW Ispat Special Products Limited has merged with JSW Steel Limited w.e.f. July 31, 2023 pursuant to NCLT order dated June 22, 2023.[5]

ESJ issues

In 2021, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) formed a five-member committee to investigate citizens' reports about environmental norm violations at the Raigarh plant. The committee will research whether there has been non-compliance with the Water and Air Acts and Hazardous Waste Management Rules, and/or damage to agriculture and destruction of nearby mangroves.[6]

Accidents

In 2020, a blast occurred at the plant which killed two employees and injured two others.[7]

In June 2021, five employees working at the plant were injured and burned after hot ash fell on them.[8]
