Total capacityafter expansion would be 72000 TPA. At present, rehLating furnace of 1a TpH isrunning and reheating furnace of one additional 1o TpH would be installed underexpansion project. Production from each reheating furnace would be 120 TpDProject proponent had earlier applied for environirental clearance for proposedinduction furnace with CCM of capacity 66000 TpA. Site is located ai village-Tedesara, post - S9m1i, District- Rajnandgaon. Project proponent has acquired 4 04ha (10 acres) land. No forest tand is involved in the acquired site.
