Bokaro Steel Limited (BSL) observed Earth Day with a tree plantation drive under the theme “Our Power, Our Planet”, highlighting collective efforts for sustainable solutions.

In 2024–25, BSL has planted around 1.10 lakh saplings across its premises and township, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Last year, 1,00,873 saplings were planted—70,000 near Ukkrid Mod, 28,500 in the City College area, 1,375 near Ashalata Centre, and 998 near the BGH campus. Over 9,300 saplings were also planted within the plant area, especially around production units.
Notably, a “carbon sink” has been developed near Garga Dam, where 1.6 lakh saplings were previously planted. This initiative aids in carbon absorption, water conservation, and biodiversity.
