Steel foundry of SAIL Growth Works is not in operation for nearly two months now. In January, gas (CBM) supply was abruptly stopped by a private company.
The supplier under a long-term agreement had been providing the fuel for auxiliary operations at the foundry through a 12-km pipeline. Now, the management has been forced to switch to LPG, for which necessary arrangements are being made.
According to the plant management, the switchover would lead to a fuel cost increase of around 10 per cent. The main operation of the foundry is run by an electric arc furnace.
