Background

Shyam Steel Limited proposed to constructed an integrated steel plant in Raghunathpur, Purulia, West Bengal at an investment of around INR 3,445 crore.[1] An Integrated steel plant with a capacity of 1.1 mtpa was proposed at the site which obtained environmental clearance in 2010.[2] The project was abandoned in 2013[3], however, it was later modified with a new proposal in 2021.[4] The project was modified further in 2022.[5] The project is expected to be developed in three phases. Phase-I involves setting up of two DRI units of total capacity 420 ttpa and six induction furnaces of 420 ttpa total capacity. Phase-II involves the installation of four more DRI units of capacity 840 ttpa and six more induction furnaces of capacity 420 ttpa. Phase-III involves addition of an electric arc furnace of capacity 175 ttpa, a 750 m3 blast furnace, a basic oxygen furnace of 525 ttpa and other auxiliary facilities.[6] Phase- I began operation in February 2024.[7]
