Mr Brij Bhushan Agarwal, Vice Chairman & Managing Director said, “We continue to deliver on our ambitious expansion plans. I am happy to announce that with the current addition, we have successfully completed the capacity additions we had outlined in our IPO plans. The addition to our captive power plant gives us a significant boost with reliable and low cost power, and we are in an even better position to supply sponge iron which continues to see improving demand.”
