Star Consortium steel plant, also known as Star Infrastructure Development Consortium steel plant, SIDC, is a steel plant in Mirsarai, Chittagong, Bangladesh that operates blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the approximate location of the plant in Mirsarai, Chittagong, Bangladesh:
- Location: Sino-Bangladesh International industrial Capacity Cooperation demonstrative Zone, Mirsarai, nearby Chittagong, Bangladesh
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 22.774191, 91.574601 (approximate)
Background
Chinese steel giant Kunming Iron and Steel Holdings Company in May 2017, announced to invest $2.3 billion in a steel manufacturing project along with a power plant at Mirsarai in Chattogram.[1][2] A consortium of 17 private players named Star Infrastructure Development Consortium Ltd was formed to act as the local partner of Kunming. The integrated iron and steel plant is expected to have a capacity of 2 mtpa and become operational by 2022.[2]
There haven't been any updates on the project since 2018 and so the project status is being changed to 'Cancelled'.
