It supplies hot-rolled, cold rolled and galvanised branded offerings. The company has set up its second greenfield steel plant of 8 mtpa in Odisha.

It has also progressed on its plans to set up its first EAF mill in Punjab.STEEL AUTHORITY OF INDIA Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is one of the largest steelmaking companies in India and one of the Maharatnas of the country’s central public-sector enterprises (CPSEs).  It is under the ownership of the Ministry of Steel, with the Government owning about 65 per cent of its equity and retaining voting control. By virtue of its Maharatna status, it enjoys significant operational and financial autonomy. Engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of iron and steel products, it is one of India’s largest steel producers with around 17.43 mt of hot metal and 16.15 mt of crude steel production. It produces iron and steel at five integrated plants and three special steel plants located primarily in eastern and central India and situated close to domestic sources of raw materials. SAIL manufactures and sells a broad range of steel products. The third-largest steel producer in India by output plans to more than double the capacity of the IISCO Steel Plant (ISP) in Burnpur, while the Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) will also witness significant additions. After the last round of modernisation and expansion, the capacity of IISCO was raised to 2.5 mtpa. SAIL has now firmed up plans to increase capacity by another 4.5 mt, taking installed capacity to 7 mt. As the Maharatna readies itself for major expansions in Burnpur and Durgapur, Bengal will be a big beneficiary of its ambitious growth plans. In FY2022-23, the company reported revenue of Rs 1,044.47 billion, compared to Rs 1,034.73 billion in FY2021-22. EBITDA was Rs 93.79 billion, compared to Rs 223.64 billion, while PAT stood at Rs 19.03 billion, compared to Rs 12.02 billion in the previous year.
