Tata Steel exports 9,000 tonnes of LD slag to Bangladesh

On Friday, Tata Steel told the media that it shipped 9,000 tonnes of LD slag, a by-product of producing the metal, to Bangladesh, in the first such shipment from India to the neighbouring nation.

Test and trial of LD slag have already been done in the plant involved in Bangladesh, and the intended plan is to ship 100 KT (kilo tonne) of the by-product per annum. Tata Steel BSL Chief Operating Officer Subodh Pandey, while commenting on this endeavour, told the media that the firm has always observed operational and market-oriented innovations by generating value out of its by-products as part of its search to a sustainable future. With a customer-centric strategy, this is one of the series of interventions they are doing to improve their product portfolio and explore newer markets.

The firm presently manufactures about 1 million tonnes of LD slag per annum.
