Durgapur Steel Plant

Durgapur steel plant was set up in the late fifties with an initial production capacity of 1 MPTA (million ton per annum) crude steel which was progressively increased to 1.8 MTPA during the last modernization in nineties with the prime objective of achieving higher level of production, improvement in productivity and quality, conservation of energy, reduction in cost of production & minimization of environmental pollution. DSP is currently implementing its Modernisation & Expansion Plan (Phase-I) with main objectives: Conversion of available semis into value added rolled products Near 100% concast production with phasing out of top pouring ingot- Blooming Mill route Sustenance/De-bottlenecking of existing facilities to overcome present constraints Capacity of the plant will increase in hot metal at 2.40 MTPA, Crude Steel at 2.20 MTPA and Saleable Steel at 2.12 MTPA Broad facilities: Plant is equipped with CO-BF-BOF process of steel making. New facilities have been added after th...
