  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 23.522882, 87.275935 (exact)

Background

The Alloy steel plant was set up in January 1965, with two 50 ton Electric arc furnaces. The plant was expanded in several times with addition of a third 50 ton EAF in 1982, which was replaced in 2007 by Danieli-made electric arc furnace.[1]

As part of the SAIL-wide modernisation-cum-expansion project the capacity of ASP was increased from 230 ttpa to 500 ttpa by September 2020.[2]

No expansions are planned for this plant under the SAIL-wide expansion in the SAIL Vision 2030 programme.[3][4]
