PROFILE

 

Subject was formed on 22 May, 2009 after Welspun Power and Steel Limited. completed the acquisition of Vikram Ispat, the Sponge Iron Business of Grasim Industries Limited.

 

Now part of the US$ 3 billion Welspun Group, the facility was set up in 1989 with design capacity of 0.75 million tons of Sponge Iron in the form of HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) and an initial investment of Rs. 5250.000 millions.

 

 

Spread across 435 acres of land with a captive Port, the facility is located in the scenic beaches of Salav village in Raigad district of Maharashtra.

 

The facility today boasts of being the only natural gas-based DRI plant for merchant sale in India with a turnover of Rs. 10080.000 millions. (FY2008-09).

 

The Company currently has a work force of more than 550 employees and has an installed capacity of 0.900 million ton per annum.

 

Subject takes pride in being the first and the only one of its kind in the world to produce both HBI and DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) from the same Reactor" using state of the art technology “HYL III” from HYLSA of MEXICO and engineering expertise of Davy Dravo of USA. The facility is today connected to the main gas grid of India with access to GAIL, ONGC, KG Basin, LNG Petronet and Shell Hazira. It has a long-term tie-up of raw material with NMDC (for Iron-ore), GIIC Bahrain (for pellets) and GAIL and RIL (for Gas).

 

It is worthy to mention that Welspun plans to invest approximately Rs. 60000.000 millions with 330 MW power project technology provided by HYLSA (now owned by Tenova) on this facility over the next 2-3 years. This expansion on Gas Based DRI, Electric Arc Furnace and Secondary metallurgy will boost high-end slab making. Welspun believes that this state-of-the-art facility marks a new level of excellence in product quality and will fulfill the Group's vision of being an integrated player from ‘Iron ore to Pipes'.
