Tata Steel achieves full ramp-up at Kalinganagar, plans cold rolling mill

The steel company has invested Rs 25,000 crore on Kalinganagar project

Tata Steel said it has achieved full-ramp of its first phase envisaged capacity of three million tonnes at the Kalinganagar project in Odisha.

“We are now running with the full rated capacity (three million tonnes). There is 100 per cent capacity utilisation”, said Rajiv Kumar, vice president (Kalinganagar project), Tata Steel.

Tata Steel had started commercial production at Kalinganagar greenfield plant in May last year. Since then, the steel maker had not touched peak production capacity though it came almost close to the rated capacity levels.

The Kalinganagar steel project would be devoted entirely to manufacturing flat steel products. In
