Neelachal Ispat Nigam
operatingBF–BOF Integrated route · Kalinganagar, Asia Pacific, India
Neelachal Ispat Nigam 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 1.1 million tonnes per year. Its main products are wire rod, coke, bar, billet, pig iron, slag.
