SAIL to commission new facility

01 Oct 2012 Editorial Team

SAIL plans to commission its new integrated long-product plant at Burnpur in phases. The new facility has been rechristened IISCO Steel Plant (ISP), following its merger with SAIL in 2006. Initially, the company had decided to set up the integrated facility on an artificial hillock, created by dumping slag, next to the old plant in 2006. While most of the mills are either ready or nearing completion, SAIL is waiting for the POSCO made blast furnace to be ready by March 2013, to mark full commissioning of the facility.
