Background

Ramsarup Lohh Udyog was formed as an independent company in 2004, and merged with Ramsarup Industries Limited in 2008. The plant currently consists of a 350 m3 blast furnace with a capacity of 300 ttpa, and 500 tpd DRI plant with a capacity of 150 ttpa.[1][2]

In May 2022, Ramsarup Industries Ltd was acquired by Shyam Metallics and Energy Limited, following a bankruptcy resolution process. The plant had been lying closed for 10 years and was being revived after the acquisition.[3][4]

The plant is currently building a steel melting shop comprising of 70 ton EAF, which was envisioned as part of the plant during inception but was not implemented then.[5][1][6] The company website also lists another plan to install a second blast furnace and a DRI plant.[7]

As of May 2024, Steel Melting Shop, Rolling Mill and Blast Furnace is not yet installed.[8]
