Project detail:
M/s Orissa Steel & Power Private Limited (Formerly known as M/s Rashmi Udyog Private Limited) a wholly own subsidiary of M/s Rashmi Cement Limited is originally incorporated under Company Act on 16 th October, 2019 with the name of M/s Rashmi Udyog Private Limited and later on company name is changed to M/s Orissa Steel & Power Private Limited on 17th November, 2020 having its registered Office at Room No - 3B, 1, Garstin Place, Kolkata – 700 001 in West Bengal.
The project was originally accorded environmental clearance in the name of M/s Rashmi Iron Industries Private Limited vide Letter No. J-11011/180/2012-IA.II (I) dated 22nd June, 2015 which was transferred to M/s Rashmi Cement Limited vide letter No. J-11011/180/2012-IA.II (I) dated 04th October, 2019 due to various reasons beyond Company?s control, particularly due to non-availability of debt funds from the market, which was originally planned for setting up of the above project.
Subsequently, the company has proposed for expansion of existing Pellet Plant (from 1.2 Million TPA to 6.4 Million TPA) with matching Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant (6.4 Million TPA), Producer Gas Plant (from 75,000 N.Cu.M/hr to 2,00,000 N.Cu.M/hr) with addition of new Sponge Iron plant (2.0 Million TPA), Ferro Alloys Plant (0.036 Million TPA) with Chrome briquette & Zigging plant, Steel Melting Shop with matching LRF, CCM, Oxygen Optimized Furnace (1.8 Million TPA) with slag crushing unit, Oxygen Plant (400 TPD), Rolling mill with pickling and continuous galvanizing line (0.35 Million TPA), Wire Rod & Wire Drawing mill (1.4 Million TPA) and CPP 245 MW (120 MW coal & Dolochar Mix Based and 125 MW WHRB based)” at Villages – Jitusole & Baghmuri, P.O. - Garhsalboni, P.S. - Jhargram, District - Jhargram, West Bengal. ToR for this project was granted by MoEFCC vide File No. J-11011/180/2012-IA-II (I) dated 04th March, 2021.
This Environmental Impact Assessment report has been prepared for the expansion of existing Pellet Plant (from 1.2 Million TPA to 6.4 Million TPA) with matching Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant (6.4 Million TPA), Producer Gas Plant (from 75,000 N.Cu.M/hr to 2,00,000 N.Cu.M/hr) with addition of new Sponge Iron plant (2.0 Million TPA), Ferro Alloys Plant (0.036 Million TPA) with Chrome briquette & Zigging plant, Steel Melting Shop with matching LRF, CCM, Oxygen Optimized Furnace (1.8 Million TPA) with slag crushing unit, Oxygen Plant (400 TPD), Rolling mill with pickling and continuous galvanizing line (0.35 Million TPA), Wire Rod & Wire Drawing mill (1.4 Million TPA) and CPP 245 MW (120 MW Coal & Dolochar Mix Based and 125 MW WHRB based). As per procedure laid down in the EIA Notification dated 14th September, 2006 and its amendments, Form-I, proposed terms of reference (ToR) for the EIA along with the pre-feasibility report was submitted to Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC) vide online application no. IA/WB/IND/151940/2020 dated 16.05.2020 and 17.02.2021.
1.5 Million TPA I/O Beneficiation, 2 x 0.6 Million TPA Pellet Plant and 10 x 7,500 Nm3 /hr producer gas plant is in operation after obtaining CTO (valid up to 31.11.2025) from WBPCB. Implementation status as on November 2022 of the facilities of M/s Orissa Steel & Power Private Limited (Formerly M/s Rashmi Udyog Private Limited) as per previously granted environmental clearances
The proposed project is a brownfield project falls under Category “A” of item No. 3(a) “Metallurgical Industries (ferrous & non-ferrous)” of the Schedule to the EIA Notification, 2006 & amendments thereof. The various sub-projects fall in the following categories.
M/s Orissa Steel & Power Private Limited (Formerly M/s Rashmi Udyog Private Limited) proposes to enhance Pellet Plant with matching Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant (from 1.2 Million TPA to 6.4 Million TPA), Producer Gas Plant (from 75,000 N.Cu.M/hr to 2,00,000 N.Cu.M/hr) with addition of new Sponge Iron plant (2.0 Million TPA), Ferro Alloys Plant (0.036 Million TPA) with Chrome briquette & Zigging plant, Steel Melting Shop with matching LRF, CCM, Oxygen Optimized Furnace (1.8 Million TPA) with slag crushing unit, Oxygen Plant (400 TPD), Rolling mill with pickling and continuous galvanizing line (0.35 Million TPA), Wire Rod & Wire Drawing mill (1.4 Million TPA) and CPP 245 MW (120 MW coal & Dolochar Mix Based and 125 MW WHRB based). The area of the existing plant is 51 acres and an additional 89 acres of land will be required for the proposed expansion which is in contiguous to the existing plant boundary. The total plant area after proposed expansion will be 140.0 acres.
The existing & proposed site for the plant is located in Villages – Jitusole & Baghmuri, P. O. - Garhsalboni, P. S. - Jhargram, District – Jhargram, West Bengal and is shown in Fig. No. C1-1. The location of plant and study area can be seen in Survey of India Open Series No. F45J3 (73N/3) & F45I15 (73J/15). The co[1]ordinates of the site as per Google earth
Expected cost of the project Existing : 330 Crores Proposed Additional : 1,500 Crores Total : 1,830 Crores
