The company which uses the private Marg Port in Cuddalore for its import needs of 1.0 million tonne of coking coal and 1.5 million tonne of iron ore is in talks to buy the Cuddalore port. The project will increase steel making capacity from 1.0 mtpa to 1.30 mtpa. The project also will increase the capacity of coal based captive power plant from 67 MW to 97 MW.
The project involves setting up of a sinter plant of 90 cu.meter, a energy optimizing furnace (45 to 65 T), continuous casting machine of 0.45 mtpa , air separation plant of 250 tpd, captive power plant of 30 MW. The project cost is estimated at Rs. 10250 million.
