This plant is feeding Coke to India's largest Blast Furnace having 4554 cubic meter volume which is already in operation at Angul and 2 Blast Furnaces at Raigarh in Chattisgarh.
JSPL conceived and commissioned the world's first Syn. Gas-based DRI plant at Angul. The plant is based on a concept of making steel through Coal Gas based DRI and EAF route using high ash Swadeshi (Indian) coal to produce Syn. Gas for DRI.
Just before the commissioning of the plant, the coal mines allocated to JSPL to run its Gasification plant were Cancelled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. This setback compelled JSPL to install a conventional steel making facility through BF/ BOF route.
