Its manufacturing plant, located at Kharagpur in the state of West Bengal and Redi in Maharashtra consists of five Mini Blast Furnaces and related facilities including Captive Power Plants. The company commenced production in 1994 with an installed capacity of 90,000 tonnes of hot metal per annum. Since, then the company with the help of regular technological upgradation, increased its installed capacity with the same Mini Blast Furnance (MBF). In the year 2000, the capacity was increased to 140000 tonnes of hot metal per annum and to 163000 tonnes in 2004. In 2005 company has successfully installed its second MBF of similar capacity i.e 162000 tonnes of hot metal per annum, taking the total capacity of the Company to 325000 tonnes of hot metal per annum.
