Tata Steel BSL Dhenkanal plant, also known as Tata Steel Meramandali (TSM),Bhushan Steel Ltd (BSL); Tata Steel BSL Odisha; Tata Steel Angul steel plant, is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steel plant operating in Meramandali, Odisha, India.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Meramandali, Odisha, India:
- Location: Narendra Pur P.O. Shibapur, Meramandali, District - Dhenkanal - 759121, India
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 20.796053, 85.260382 (exact)
Background
Bhushan Steel limited was established in 1989. The BSL Dhenkanal plant is an integrated steel plant with a capacity of 2.2 mtpa crude steel in 2009-10. With further expansion in stages using both primary and secondary steel production routes the plant now has a capacity of 5.6 mtpa.[1] On May 18, 2018, a subsidiary of Tata Steel acquired 72.65% stake in BSL.[2] On November 27, 2018, BSL was renamed Tata Steel BSL Ltd.[3] During the acquisition BSL was operating at 3.5 mtpa, much below its installed capacity.[4]
The Tata Steel BSL Dhenkanal plant is currently planning basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) expansions upto 12.8 mtpa for 2030.[5] The expansion is planned in two stages:
- Stage I: Expansion from 5.6 mtpa to 8.2 mtpa. This involves installation of a third blast furnace and two 200 tons BOF.
- Stage II: Expansion from 8.2 mtpa to 12.8 mtpa. This involves augmentation of existing blast furnace 1 and 2 to produce 3 mtpa additional hot metal, installation of a COG based Midrex Direct reduction plant of capacity 1.6 mtpa, two 100 tons EAF, and two 250 tons BOF.[1]
Accidents
On 13 November, 2013, a deadly fire accident at the blast furnace 2 of the plant killed one worker and injured 19 others, following which the furnace was temporarily sealed by the Directorate of Factories and Broilers. According to a 2013 news article, BSL has witnessed several accidents and had so far claimed more than 100 lives since its inception.[6] According to government data, by 2013, 66 persons died in the plant since 2006, and the plant faces 70 criminal cases.[7]
On 13 June, 2023, 19 workers at the plant sustained burn injuries due to a mishap in one of the blast furnaces which lead to the escape of hot steam from a pipe.[8]
