The Precursor
SAIL traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation - India. After independence the builders of modern India worked
with a vision - to lay the infrastructure for rapid industrialisaton of the country. The steel sector was to propel the economic growth.
Hindustan Steel Private Limited was set up on January 19, 1954. The President of India held the shares of the company on behalf o
the people of India.
Hindustan Steel (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur St
Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two stee
plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956,
and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.
A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited, was incorporated in January 1964 to construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro.
The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur
Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL we
up from .158 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioni
of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was commissioned in February 1968, and th
1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS. Thus, with the
completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and 1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of H
was raised to 3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.
Holding Company
The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing industry. The policy statement was
presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and
outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The company, incorporated on
January 24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2000 crore, was made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at
Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL was restructured as
an operating company.
Since its inception, SAIL has been instrumental in laying a sound infrastructure for the industrial development of the country. Beside
it has immensely contributed to the development of technical and managerial expertise. It has triggered the secondary and tertiary
waves of economic growth by continuously providing the inputs for the consuming industry.
SAIL Today
SAIL today is one of the largest industrial entities in India. Its strength has been the diversified range of quality steel products cateri
to the domestic, as well as the export markets and a large pool of technical and professional expertise.
Today, the accent in SAIL is to continously adapt to the competitive business environment and excel as a business organisation, bo
within and outside India.
SAIL - Into the Future

The modern Plate Mill rolls out heavy and medium plates, as well as those for pipe
manufacturers. Plates of wide variety, in any required size, and strength, chemical and
physical properties, can be produced here. It has capacity to produce high pressure,
boiler quality and high tensile steels. Shipbuilding plates, conforming to Lloyds
specifications, and pressure vessel boiler plates, conforming to various ASTM, ASME
standards, have withstood the challenges of nature and time. Some of the unique
features of the mill are on-line finishing facilities and off-line normalising facilities.
Bhilai has the widest plate mill in the country, and it uses continuously cast slabs as
input. Liquid steel produced under controlled conditions in the LD Converters is rinsed
with argon gas to homogenise the composition as well as to remove non-metallic
inclusions before continuous casting so as to ensure the production of high quality
feedstock for the Plate Mill. As per customers' requirement or specifications, plates are
normalised in a roller hearth normalising furnace.

system in the Blast Furnaces, de-dusting system and electrostatic precipitators in other
units. Besides, Clean Development Mechanisms for green house gas reduction, BSP has
taken up the replacement of Ozone Depleting Substance CTC, aided by UNDP. The
specific water consumption in BSP at 3.05 cu.m per tonne of crude steel in 2007-08 is
one of the lowest in the country.
Green City
Contrary to the popular perception about industrial townships being dirty and polluted,
a green canopy covers the township. A green-fingered population and a management
aware of its obligations as a corporate citizen have come together for a massive tree-
plantation drive over a period of years as a result of which afforestation sites and green
expanses enrich the environment in mining and peripheral areas. There are five big
gardens inside the plant and 15 gardens in the township. The cumulative plantation in
the Works area and township is more than 30 lakhs while in the Mines, it is more than
22 lakhs. Spread over 167 acres, the sprawling Maitri Bagh that has the biggest musical
fountain in the country, a zoo with 28 species of animals and birds, an artificial lake
with boating facilities, a toy train etc., attracts over 5 lakh visitors every year.
The residential sectors of the steel city are kept clean and green by the Plant's Town
Administration Department which also undertakes the civic amenities such as street
lighting, cleaning and maintenance of the tree-lined carpeted roads. The water to the
township is supplied from the Maroda water treatment plant having a capacity of over
30 million gallons per day. Water is distributed throughout the township through a
system of underground reservoirs and overhead tanks.

Quality Assurance
All major production units and marketable products in Bhilai Steel Plant are covered
under ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System. This includes manufacture of blast
furnace coke and coal chemicals, production of hot metal and pig iron, steel making
through twin hearth and basic oxygen processes, manufacture of steel slabs and blooms
by continuous casting, and production of hot rolled steel blooms, billets and rails,
structurals, plates, steel sections and wire rods.
Right from selection of input material for steelmaking, the process parameters are kept
under close control. Intensive checking of all quality parameters continues throughout
the subsequent operations of casting, reheating and rolling. Express analysis with the
help of sophisticated, direct-reading spectrograph and gas analyser ensures a narrow
range of chemical composition. Intensive metallographic investigation with modern
instruments like Scanning Electron Microscope, Image Analyser and Micro Hardness
Tester is carried out to assess the quality of the product.
