Mark Steels Plan to Expand Steel & Captive Power Plant in West Bengal

Mark Steels Limited is considering constructing a new captive power plant and expanding its current steel mill at Jagannathdihi, which is located near Puruliya, West Bengal. The plant's ability to manufacture sponge iron, TMT bars, rods, flats, and electricity is expected to expand from 150,000 tonnes per year (TPA) to 300,000 TPA as a result of this project's planned improvements. The capacity to generate captive electricity ranges from 7 MW to 19 MW. The expansion of the company's steel production is driving up the demand for energy, and the project's goal is to fulfill that need while also reducing the business's dependency on the public power system. Total Cost of the Project: 229 Crores
