- Location: Kamanda, Sundergarh, Odisha, India
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 21.928511, 85.223988 (exact)
Background
The plant was sanctioned for environmental clearance for construction in June 2020. The construction of the plant began in 2021 and is ongoing.[1]
The company has announced further expansion of the steel plant from 970 ttpa to 1774 ttpa.[2]
In August 2023, Rungta Mines Ltd placed an order with Danieli for the supply of two new, high-speed bar and wirerod mills to be installed at Dhenkanal and Kamanda Steel plants in the state of Odisha, India. These will be the fifth and sixth Danieli rolling mill projects for the Indian steel producer.[3]
