RINL may appoint consultant on 6th coke oven battery project
- | Tuesday | 11th September, 2018
Capacity augmentation and the dependence on ageing batteries have necessitated the installation of new coke oven batteries. At the board meeting of the RINL, the corporate entity of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant recently, the officials discussed the issue, informed sources told The Hindu. Moreover, we want the management to have a long-term vision to cater to the needs of the country’s largest shore-based integrated steel plant,” SPEU president J. Ayodhya Ram said. At present, four COBs produce around 2.5 lakh million tonne of coke even as the COB-5 is under construction. The Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) may appoint a consultant to take up the construction of the coke oven battery (COB)-6 amid speculation that the Build, Operate and Own (BOO) route is being reconsidered owing to the investment it requires.
