Complete inbuilt facility for production
Sponge Iron is a recognized alternative to steel scrap as a raw
material for the manufacture of various steel products. The twin issues
of rapid depletion of Coking Coal reserves and the scarcity of
indigenous scrap, made the Government of India support production of
sponge iron in the country.
To boost the growth of the industry a major thrust was given by the
Government of India by providing the manufacturers the following
benefits: De-licensing, firm linkages, allocation of natural gas and
financial support. This lead to an immense growth of the sponge iron
industry in India, from a meager capacity of 30,000 tonnes per annum in
the year 1980-81 it grew to 7 million tonnes in 2001.
Today, India ranks No.1 globally in the production of Sponge Iron.
We at Electrotherm have a complete inbuilt facility for production of
sponge iron, which is further utilized in the manufacture of various
iron/steel products such as TMT Bars, D.I. Pipes, etc.
