Electrosteel Bokaro
operatingESL Steel Ltd · BF–BOF Integrated route · Bokaro, Asia Pacific, India
Electrosteel Bokaro makes steel by the integrated route: iron ore is smelted into liquid hot metal in a blast furnace, then refined into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace. The liquid steel is solidified into semi-finished shapes by continuous casting. The plant has a crude steel capacity of about 1.5 million tonnes per year. Its main products are wire rod, bar, pipe, billet, pig iron.
