About Sponge Iron
Sponge Iron is the primary raw material produced within the group's mining and raw materials vertical. It is manufactured through the Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) process using a Rotary Kiln — a technology chosen for its fuel flexibility, cost efficiency, and lower emissions compared to blast furnace routes.
The product is processed for superior fast-melt performance in induction furnaces and is entirely utilized for captive consumption in MS Billet manufacturing.
Metallic Grades
82+ and 80+ metallic iron content grades
Product Size
5-20 mm processed for fast melting
Manufacturing Process
Efficient Direct Reduction of Iron through Rotary Kiln technology
Raw Materials
Iron ore lump along with non-coking coal and coal fines are used as raw materials.
Rotary Kiln DRI
Direct Reduction of Iron process converts iron ore into high-grade Sponge Iron.
Processing
Material is processed for enhanced fast-melt induction furnace performance.
End Use
Entire production is used internally for MS Billet manufacturing.
