At the outset we would like to introduce our company Electrosteel Castings Limited, which is an engineering company, engaged in the business of Water Supply & Sewerage Conveyance infrastructure development.
Corrosion Resistant DUCTILE IRON SPUN PIPES manufactured by the company are used for conveying Water and Sewerage.
In the company’s plant at Khardah, 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India Electrosteel manufactures Ductile Iron pipes as per International standards with in house Mini Blast Furnace facility for preparation of pig iron from iron ore i.e., complete manufacture from ore to pipe. |
Future Plans:
Electrosteel Castings Limited (ECL), a company into the Iron and Steel industry for over 50 years now, was among the first few companies to realize the potential that the state of Jharkhand has on offer. Coking coal one of the major inputs for steel making would be required for a steel plant. Accordingly, Parbatpur block of Jharia Coalfields in Bokaro district of Jharkhand State was allotted to M/s. Electrosteel Casting Ltd. For captive mining and supply of Coking Coal for Steel making for their casting plants and proposed new projects.
We are in the process of obtaining the required statutory clearances for the Mine and have made substantial progress in this regard. We are now at a stage where we are going to finalise the contracts for important activities related to our Opencast Mining Project. |
