The Green panel has provided its approval to SAIL‘s Rs 5,419- crore expansion and modernisation project for its Rourkela plant in Odisha.
The modernisation of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has been proposed by SAIL through setting up of a new hot strip mill with a production capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), beneficiation plant of 3.3 MTPA and pellet plant of 2 MTPA.
The company also seeks to enhance production capacity of special plates from 0.003 to 0.015 MTPA within the premise of RSP.
A senior government official has said that “The EAC has recommended the ministry to grant environment clearance to the SAIL’s proposed modernisation project in Rourkela subject to stipulation of specific conditions.”
