Union Minister of Steel and Heavy Industries H D Kumaraswamy has unveiled an ambitious 20,000 INR-Crore expansion plan for SAIL’s Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL). This major upgrade will boost its production capacity to 7.55 Million Tonnes per annum (MTPA), a significant leap from its initial 1.7 MTPA.
Through this brownfield expansion, the plant will increase hot metal production from 5.25 MTPA to 7.55 MTPA. This move strengthens India’s push for Aatmanirbhar Bharat in the steel sector. Additionally, the plan will generate around 2,500 permanent jobs and create 10,000 indirect employment opportunities, fostering economic progress.

Moreover, the plant aims to cut carbon emissions from 2.67 Tonnes per tonne of crude steel to below 2.2 Tonnes by 2030, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
