Steel Authority of India is implementing a project at its Rourkela Steel Plant complex to produce three million tonnes per annum facility for hot rolled (HR) coils for making auto-grade and special steel products. The contract for setting up the project has been awarded to a consortium led by Mitsubishi and Larsen & Toubro. The new facility will produce high quality HR coils, including high strength API grades, auto body grades and other special steels. As of September 2015, the project is under implementation.
