Responsible business practices that have always been the hallmark of Tata Steel focus on social and environmental sustainability, embracing the principles of inclusive growth. At the moment therefore, the prime focus of the Company is the happiness and security of Tata Steel Parivar members over and above the furtherance of technical work at the plant.

The construction work at the main plant site will start shortly after the rehabilitation and resettlement process is completed. In the meanwhile construction work for the rehabilitation colonies and camps is being carried out on a priority basis. Tata Steel has developed three rehabilitation and resettlement colonies as well as five transit camps at Kalinganagar to ensure that relocated families do not face any inconvenience whatsoever.

Along with this, work for the support systems for the main plant is going on with orders having been placed for other civil structural work. Given below is a brief update on the project status at the moment –

 

Machineries & Equipment


  • The project has received considerable momentum from the time equipment consignments have started arriving at a steady pace. The Blast Furnace and Sinter Plant for the Steel Plant have already been received and stored. The Company is constructing two covered sheds near Duburi to store the plant and machineries required for the construction of steel plant safely and systematically. The IM Section for the Kalinganagar plant is expected to be completed by December’ 2010.

    For more information on facilities at the IM section please click here.


  • The Steel Melting Shop for the project has been supplied by SMS Demag of Germany.

  • The intake well is located at Marthapur on the bank of river Brahmani, situated about 18 kms from the main plant site.

  • The steel structures required for construction of different shops like steel melting shop, blast furnace etc. are being fabricated at the Fabrication Yard at Jodabar. Members of Tata Steel Parivar have also found employment here.

Environment Sustainability

A green belt covering at least 33% area within and around the plant premises has been proposed in consultation with DFO. The Company has also obtained the clearance from the MoEF. Upon completion the plant would ensure nearly zero pollution by adopting various environment friendly techniques like -

  • Initiatives to restrict Air Pollution
  • Initiatives to recycle Water
  • Waste Management
  • Recycle of Gases
  • Initiatives to Restrict Noise Pollution

Power Sources


The proposed Steel Plant at Kalinganagar, Odisha demands great stability & control in all operating areas, including the power generation & distribution system. The plant has been designed with three separate power sources to meet large as well as small requirements –

  • The captive Power plant inside the Kalinganagar plant area fuelled by the by-product gases generated by the steel making process (CPP by Tata Power)

  • Orissa Grid from 220 kV New Duburi GSSII Sub Station.

  • Captive Coal based Power plant at Naraj Marthapur (CPP by Tata Power).






Logistics


Logistics plays a vital role in any steel production unit and more so in a new mega steel plant project like the one at Kalinganagar, in Jajpur Odisha. Iron ore, coal and imported limestone being the prime inputs for the steel plant it is an advantage that the iron ore mines and the upcoming port at Dhamra is barely 100 km from the plant site.

Railways – The project will be served by both existing Indian Rail networks and extensive captive logistic projects that have been approved by the Railway Board and Zonal railway and are in the inception stage. Apart from internal rail yards, the Kalinganagar Project, will require a 25 km captive rail connection in mines and a 20 km rail connection for plant connectivity to the nearest serving rail stations - Baghuapal and Jakhapura.

Roadways -The Kalinganagar industrial area fortunately is also well connected by road. The Plant site is flanked by Daitari - Paradip expressway, which got converted to NH-200 recently, and on the eastern side there is the state highway leading to the Sukinda Mines. In addition a comprehensive road transport network has been planned for the proposed plant.
