The Steel Authority of India ltd (SAIl) will soon get a study done on the impact of mining on surface drainage and ground water regime for Nandini limestone Mine of Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), officials informed.
Notably, SAIl has the highest rail making capacity of 2.0 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) at one location –the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), officials informed. It is going to be a major initiative.
Commercial production of world class 130 metre long rails from the new Universal Rail Mill of Bhilai Steel Plant began in November last year.
The new URM established at a cost of about Rs 1200 crore is part of SAIl-Bhilai Steel Plant’s modernization programme that would scale up capacity to 7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). Notably, the world’s longest 130 metre rails rolled at the new Mill are welded at the new Rail Welding Plant adjacent to URM and loaded for despatch from the Mill’s loading complex.
