Background

The Mesco Steel Kalinganagar steel plant began operating in 1992 under the Mesco Steel Group.[1] In 2005, pig iron production commenced.[2]

In December 2015, Mesco Steel Kalinganagar was forced to cease operations due to lack of raw materials; this closure went on at least until 2017.[3]

In February 2022, a civilian petition reported that Mesco was pursuing an illegal railway siding project at the site, which was releasing toxic substances into the environment. According to the petition, the Mesco Steel Kalinganagar plant had been shut since 2020.[4]

Expansion

According to Mesco Steel's website, an expansion including 2 BOF plants (100-tonnes each), 1 BF plant (3200 m3), a sinter plant, and coke oven battery was planned to be completed by 2021. The crude steel capacity would have amounted to 2300 ttpa.[2] However, no update has been posted since 2020.
