Background

The Shyam Steel Durgapur plant began operating in 1953.[1] It primarily produces billets and TMT. It was formerly known as Sova Ispat Ltd and was taken over by Shyam Steel Industries in 2011. The company was renamed Shyam Steel manufacturing Limited in November 2016.[2]

In April 2021, Shyam Steel announced its intentions to invest Rs 600 crore in expanding capacity at the Durgapur plant.[3] According to the OECD's steelmaking report, these expansion plans were expected to be completed in 2021.[4]

The plant has a steelmaking capacity of 60 ttpa, which is being expanded to 250 ttpa.[5]
