'The viability of the project lies in complete integration including a captive power plant, (that shall use the waste gases from the sponge iron kilns to generate power), facilitating the production of steel at one of the lowest costs. A private railway siding and coal washery will further increase the inherent economic strength of the project'. The company is in an advanced stage of obtaining lease for iron ore mines in Orissa and Chhattisgarh and has been earmarked for Captive Coal Blocks as per the norms of Ministry of Coal. Once operational, the unit will become totally self sufficient and one of the least cost producers of steel.
