A Brief Introduction To Bhilai Steel Plant
Bhilai Steel Plant – a symbol of Indo-Soviet techno-economic collaboration, is one of the first
three integrated steel plants set up by Government of India to build up a sound base for the
industrial growth of the country, The agreement for setting up the plant with a capacity of 1
MT of Ingot steel was signed between the Government of erstwhile U.S.S.R. and India on 2nd
February, 1955, and after a short period of 4 years, India entered the main stream of the steel
producers with the commissioning of its first Blast Furnace on 4th February, 1959 by the then
President of India, Dr Rajendra Prasad. Commissioning of all the units of 1 MT stage was
completed by 1961. In the initial phase the plant had to face many teething problems, mostly
unknown to the workforce at the time, But by meticulous efforts and team-sprit, these
problems were surmounted and the rated capacity production was achieved only within a year
of integrated operation of the plant. Thereafter, the plant was expanded to 2.5 MT capacity
per year, and then to 4 MT of crude steel per year,. Bhilai expanded its production capacity in
two phases - first to 2.5 MT which was completed on Sept. 1, 1967 and the 4 MT stage, which
was completed in the year 1988 All the units of the plant have been laid out in sequential
formation according to technological inter-relationship so as to ensure uninterrupted flow of
in-process materials like Coke, Sinter, Molten Iron, Hot Ingots, as well as disposal of
metallurgical wastages and slag etc., minimizing the length of various inter-plant
communications, utilities and services.
Bhilai has its own captive mines spread over 10929.80 acres. Iron ore from Dalli-Rajhara
group of mines, 85 kms south-west of Bhilai. Limestone requirements are met by Nandini
mines, 20 kms north of Bhilai and dolomite comes from Hirri in Bilaspur district, 135 kms
north-east of the plant. To meet the future requirement of iron ore, another mining site
Rowghat , situated about 100 km south of Rajhara, is proposed to be developed; as the ore
reserves at Rajhara are depleting.
The plant now consists of ten coke oven batteries. Six of them are 4.4 metres tall. The 7 metre
tall fully automated Batteries No 9 & 10 are among the most modern in India. Of Bhilai's
seven blast furnaces, three are of 1033 cu. Metre capacity each, three of 1719 cu. metre and
one is 2000 cu. metre capacity. Most of them have been modernized incorporating state-of-
the-art technology.
Steel is made through twin hearth furnaces in Steel Melting Shop I as well as through LD
Convertor -continuous Casting route in SMS II. Steel grades conforming to various national
and international specifications are produced in both the melting shops. Production of cleaner
steel is ensured by flame enrichment and oxygen blowing in SMS I while secondary refining
in Vaccum Arc Degassing ensures homogenous steel chemistry in SMS II. Also in SMS II is a
130 T capacity RH Degassing Unit, installed mainly to remove hydrogen from rail steel and
Ladle Furnace to meet present and future requirements of quality steel. Bhilai is capable of
providing the cleanest and finest grades of steel.
The rolling mill complex consists of the Blooming & Billet Mill, Rail & Structural Mill,
Merchant Mill, Wire Rod Mill and also a most modern Plate Mill. While input to the BBM
and subsequently to Merchant Mill and Wire Rod Mill comes from the Twin Hearth Furnaces,
the Rail & Structural Mill and Plate mill roll long and flat products respectively from
continuously cast blooms and slabs only.
The total length of rails rolled at Bhilai so far would circumvent the globe more than 4.5
times. To back this up, there is the Ore Handling Plant, three Sintering Plants - of which
one is most modern, two captive Power Plants with a generating capacity of 110 MW, two
Oxygen Plants, Engineering Shops, Machine Shops and a host of other supporting agencies
giving Bhilai a lot of self-sufficiency in fulfilling the rigorous demands of an integrated steel
plant. Power Plant No.2 of 74 MW capacity has been divested to a 50:50 SAIL/NTPC joint
venture company NSPCL.
BSP is the sole manufacturer of rails and producer of the widest and heaviest plates in India.
Bhilai specializes in the high strength UTS 90 rails, high tensile and boiler quality plates,
TMT bars, and electrode quality wire rods. It is a major exporter of steel products with over
70% of total exports from the Steel Authority of India Limited being from Bhilai. The
distinction of being the first integrated steel plant with all major production units and
marketable products covered under ISO 9002 Quality Certification belongs to BSP. This
includes manufacture of blast furnace coke and coal chemicals, production of hot metal and
pig iron, steel making through twin hearth and basic oxygen processes, manufacture of steel
slabs and blooms by continuous casting, and production of hot rolled steel blooms, billets and
rails, structural, plates, steel sections and wire rods.
The plant's Quality Assurance System has been awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification. Not
content with the Quality Assurance system for production processes, Bhilai has obtained ISO
14001 certification for its Environment Management System and for its Dalli Mines. Besides
environment-friendly technology like Coal Dust Injection System in the Blast Furnaces, de-
dusting units and electrostatic precipitators in other units, BSP has continued a vigorous
afforestation drive, planting trees each year averaging an impressive 1000 trees per day in the
steel township and mines.
A leader in terms of profitability, productivity and energy conservation, BSP has maintained
growth despite recent difficult market conditions. A significant reason for BSps performance
is adherence to quality management systems in different fields. Bhilai has become the first
public sector organisation to have been awarded all the four cetifications of ISO 9001 for
quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management system for plant and mines, OHSAS
18000 for safety and health and SA 8000 for social accountability.

deptt is responsible for enhancement of the knowledge, skills, and behaviour of employees. The
Personnel function is divided into two broad areas, the plant level centralised functions and the
shop/department level distributed personnel functions. The centralised functions are : Manpower
Planning; Recruitment & Induction; HR Information System; Executive Establishment; Rules &
Procedures (incl Wage admn), General Establishment, and the office of the Public Information Officer
(PIO) under the Right to Information Act. The Industrial Relations Wing looks after IR and Trade
Union matters & Bipartite Forums; Liaison Cell – SC/ST, OBC, Minorities, etc, Contract Labour
management and Canteen facilities, as also Sports & Cultural activities. The Employee Welfare wing
covers Grievance Settlement; Employee Suggestions; Counselling; Final Settlement; Departmental
disciplinary Enquiries, etc. The Personnel function of BSP is the first amongst the large industrial
units to have been conferred the ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Quality Management system. It is
also the nodal agency for the implementation of the SA 8000 standards of BSP. Adherence to the
prescribed standards are ensured through monitoring by the respective
Management .Representatives(MR).
The distributed shop/depptl level function operates through a personnel office in each shop or
department executing establishment, IR and welfare functions, under the supervision of zonal
Personnel Mansagers. There are eleven Personnel Offices in Works, four in Non-Works four in Iron
Ore Complex in Dalli-Rajhara and one each in Nandini Limestone & Hirri Dolomite Mines. They also

Bhilai Management Development Centre for executive training. The HRD Centre has facilities and
equipment for advanced training in technological areas including a dedicated computer centre.
C & IT DIVISION (FORMERLY EDP)
BSP has been a trend setter in many fields and Information Technology figures prominently
among them.
Services Offered:
The C&IT department is presently organized into five distinct groups with clearly defined
responsibilities of operation. Namely, Financial Management Sales and Order progressing
Employee and Estate Services Personnel Administration and Hospital Management and Web
Services Networking, Hardware and Procurement. Besides the aforesaid working groups, two
other important functional groups also fall within the purview of C & IT. They are MMIS and
ERP-MES groups. Materials Management Information Systems (MMIS) under C& IT caters
to the need of MM department and other related areas of the Plant. BSP being the forerunner
in adopting new technologies has taken a step ahead in the whole of SAIL fraternity by going
for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for its
improving operational efficiencies.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated suit of application software modules
providing operational, managerial and strategic information for an enterprise to improve
productivity, quality and competitiveness. It is a fully integrated, multidimensional
information system for all functions based on a business model for planning, control and
resource optimization of an organization using state of the art information technology. BSP
has implemented ERP in the following areas: Material Management, Sales and Distribution,
Financial management and Costing, Production Planning, Plant Maintenance and Quality
Management.
BSP is the first unit to have Uniform Codification Systems for all kinds of materials,
suppliers, vendors and other related objects and this UCS would common across the SAIL
Family. Manufacturing Execution system (MES) is another area where C&IT department is
playing a leading role. MES comes in between ERP and Shop Supervisory level of
automation. Presently MES is contemplated.
Global Steel Scenario & Indian Steel Industry Introduction
Though Iron and steel have been used by men for almost 6000 years, yet the modern form of
iron and steel industry came into being only during the 19th century. The growth and
development of iron and steel industry in the world until the Second World War was
comparatively slower. But the industry has grown very rapidly after the Second World War.
World production of steel, which was only 28.3 million tonnes (MT) in 1900, rose to 695 MT
by 1992. The oil crisis of the seventies affected the entire economy of the world including the
steel industry. The position started improving after 1983 and peaked at 780 MT in 1989.
World Steel production was around 1220MT in 2009.
Historical Background
There are evidences that man knew the use of iron since the ancient civilization of Babylon,
Mexico, Egypt, China, India, Greece and Rome. Archeological findings in Mesopotamia and
Egypt have proved that iron or steel has been in the service of mankind for nearly 6000 years.
The origin of the methods used by early man for extracting iron from its ores is unknown. In
early days the product probably was so relatively soft and unpredictable, that bronze
continued to be preferred for many tools and weapons. Eventually iron replaced the
nonferrous metal for these purposes when man learned how to master the difficult arts of
smelting, forging, hardening and tempering iron.
Iron, in the beginning was smelted by charcoal made from wood. Later coal was discovered
as a great source of heat. Subsequently, it was converted into coke, which was found to be
ideal for smelting of iron. Iron kept its dominant place for 200 or more years after the Saugas
works that was the first successful Iron Works in America founded in 1646. With the advance
of Industrial Revolution, iron formed the rails for the newly invented railroad trains. It was
also used to armour the sides of the fighting ships. About the mid-19th century the new age of
steel began with the invention of Bessemer process (1856) making steel available in large
quantities at reasonable cost.
Indian History
Indian history is also replete with references to the usage of iron and steel. Some of the
ancient monuments like the famous iron pillar near New Delhi or the massive beams used in
the Sun Temple at Konark bear ample testimony to the technological excellence of the Indian
metallurgists.
The history of iron in India goes back to the ancient era. Our ancient literary sources like Rig
Veda, the Atharva Veda, the Puranas and other Epics are full of references to iron and to its
uses in peace and war. According to one of the studies, iron has been produced in India for
over 3000 years, in primitive, small scale facilities.
Global Scenario
International steel sector is reflecting the global trends in business environment. The early
years of the 21st century have set the pattern for the future. Asia has increased its share of
production. Although consumption of steel is likely to increase in most regions of the world
in the medium term, growth in industrialized nations is likely to be much slower than the
average growth in demand across the world. Developing countries and the emerging
economies are likely to have the fastest rate of growth in steel demand in the future.
In the developed world, the EU is expected to experience stagnant demand in the medium
term, while the NAFTA block is likely to see low positive growth in consumption. In Japan,
demand for steel has steadily declined in recent years due to restrictions on Government
spending in construction projects as well as weak consumer demand. A modest growth is
anticipated in the manufacturing and building sectors as the economic performance improves.
However, the medium term projection is for a reduction in overall steel consumption in
Japan.
Amongst the developing economies, China requires special mention. China’s apparent
consumption of finished steel during 1996 was 97 million tonnes, which amounted to around
15% of world finished steel consumption. However, by the year 2007, China’s consumption
figure reached a staggering 310 million tonnes, accounting for around 30% of the total world
finished steel consumption. China’s steel consumption is still growing at a fast pace and as
per IISI estimates; The steel production of China during 2009-10 was 565 million tones
which is 38% of the total steel production of the world.
Finished steel consumption in the world has crossed a billion tonnes in 2005. However,
despite the growth in consumption there are apprehensions of excess production as compared
to global demand. As per the estimates by the WSD, world finished steel production, which
stands today at more than 1 billion tonnes a year, is expected to cross 1.5 billion tonnes by
2012.
As the trend in the world is towards producing low cost steel by using more environmental
friendly means, steel producers worldwide are adopting new technologies like Corex and
Compact Strip Casting, adopting alternate routes like Electric Arc Furnace instead of the
traditional Blast Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace route, as well as importing raw materials
like coke.
Technologies, Research and Development
Though the choice of technology will be determined by entrepreneurs based on techno-
economic considerations, the Government would encourage adoption of technologies, which:
• Have synergy with the natural resource endowments of the country
• Are conducive to production of high-end and special steel required for sophisticated
industrial and scientific applications.
• Minimize damage to the environment at various stages of steel making and mining.
• Optimize resource utilization.
• Facilitate modernization of the steel industry so as to achieve global standards of
productivity and efficiency.
• Development of front end and strategic steel based materials.
India’s expenditure on Research and Development has been negligible. In the case of steel
industry, the ratio of expenditure on R&D as a percentage of turnover is only 0.26 percent.
The low priority to indigenous R&D has given rise to adoption of technologies that are more
suited to conditions prevailing in the developed world. For example, resource position of raw
materials requires development of technologies, which can use indigenous coking coals and
non-coking coals and for improvement in quality of high alumina Indian iron ore. But lack of
innovation and adaptation to Indian conditions is resulting in large-scale import of coking
coal and low performance in iron making.

CONCLUSION:-
Finally I conclude that the training given by the BSP(Bhilai Steel Plant), Bhilai, C.G. was very
much helpful in knowing the concepts of 1)ERP 2)Telephone Exchange 3)T&D Dept. It was
an opportunity to know about the various techniques which are used in manufacturing Steel
plant equipment’s. The concepts how machines are functioning, how they are automated to
do a more precise work than humans, all these things were very much interesting. As BSP is
Public Sector Unit (PSU), we are grateful to those persons who helped directly and indirectly
in this successful completion of the in plant training and this will surely be helpful in future.
