Cold Rolling Complex

Essar Steel adds substantial value to its world-class hot rolled coils through a sophisticated Cold Rolling complex for further processing. The complex includes two flying shear lines of capacity 0.2 MTPA each, and two slitting lines of capacity 0.2 MTPA each, catering to the market of plates and sheets. Essar is also the only Indian steel maker with a 1.2 MTPA hot skin pass mill, from Clecim, the leading manufacturer from France. The mill allows it to enhance the steel's surface quality to match international standards. Its "service centre" concept, unique in India, reduces multiple handling costs for customers because it allows Essar Steel's plates and sheets to be used directly by the end-user.

Essar Steel produces highly customised value-added products catering to a variety of product segments and is India’s largest exporter of flat products, selling close to half of its production to the highly demanding US and European markets, and to the growing markets of South East Asia and the Middle East. The company’s products conform to quality specifications of international quality certification agencies, like ABS, API, TUV Rhine Land and Lloyd’s Register. Essar Steel is the first Indian steel company to receive an ISO 14001 certification for environment management practices.
