It comprises two independent casting strands having an hourly average capacity in excess of 205 tph each. Arrangement for Power[7][edit] For meeting the power requirement of the proposed integrated steel plant, NMDC h as decided to set up a Captive Power Plant with a Joint Venture (JV) partner. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is being incorporated by NMDC for the above purp ose initially as wholly owned subsidiary of NMDC. The SPV shall be converted int o a Joint Venture Company with NMDC shareholding of at least 26% and the balance shareholding by the selected JV partner. NMDC would procure at least 51% of the power for captive power requirements of the units of the steel plant. NMDC will purchase not less than 51% of the power generated. The SPV would be fr ee to sell the balance power to any other procurer or as may be mutually agreed

upon. The above structure is as per Rule 3 of the Electricity Rules 2005 under the Ele ctricity Act, 2003, the following criteria is to be met to qualify as a Captive Generating Plant. Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Ltd. (CSPDCL) has sanctioned 27.5 MVA power at 132 KV for construction power requirements of the steel plant. Cons truction work for the 132 KV tower and sub-station is in progress. The maximum demand for the steel plant has been estimated at about 300 MW and th e other units of NMDC, namely mines, pellet plant and slurry pumping system etc. require around 120 MW Power. Thus, the total requirement of power would be arou nd 420 MW, out of which about 70 MW would be generated in the steel plant itself based on Blast Furnace, Coke Oven and LD Gases. The remaining Power i.e. about 350 MW (Max Demand) would have to be sourced from external agencies (Captive Power Plant & (CSPDCL). Search for Strategic Joint Venture Partner[8][edit] In order to run the plant effectively, a number of managerial, operating & maint enance manpower with adequate skill / experience in steel plant operation would be required at various levels of the organization. It is envisaged that around 3500 regular workforce would be required to run the plant. This estimate excludes the manpower required for social services includin g medical facilities, township etc. In addition, there would be need to engage p ersonnel through contract to carry out supporting services like repair & mainten ance, cleaning & upkeep, security, transport, canteen operation etc. Considering the large size Blast Furnace / BOF and thin slab caster with hot strip mill wit h state-of-the-art technology envisaged in the present steel project, sufficient ly experienced & skilled manpower would be required. In view of this, NMDC is sc outing for strategic joint venture partner to partner with NMDC for successful o peration & maintenance of the plant. Further, NMDC is also seeking equity participation (maximum upto 49%) in the pro ject by the strategic joint venture partner (single entity) for its successful c ompletion. Since NMDC would be major source for supply of iron ore to the plant, it is seek ing strategic joint venture partner who can supply the other critical input i.e. coking coal and low ash non-coking coal requirement of the plant on long term b asis and also provide technology for downstream facilities like Cold Rolling Mil l and / or production of silicon steel (CRNO & CRGO) at an appropriate stage of the steel project.
