The recent introduction of Production-linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Specialty Steel will have far reaching positive impacts on the domestic steel industry in general.

The scheme will also act as a booster to ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ where the country is primarily enhancing domestic productions capabilities to be self-sufficient in fulfilling its steel requirements. The PLI scheme for specialty steels will encourage new technological interventions and innovations in the domestic steel sector.

In a new development, the rail certifying agency of Indian Railways, RITES approved the newly developed online welding process for the alloyed Rails for production of 260 meters rails at Bhilai Steel Plant. The development of this unique welding and post weld processing technology was done jointly by BSP and RDCIS, Ranchi and was subjected to a series of stringent processing controls across many phases before being approved by the certifying agency, RITES.
