Kolkata May 11 Bhushan Steel Ltd will set up a two million tonnes per annum (mtpa) capacity integrated steel plant with a captive power plant in Burdwan district of West Bengal. A 0.5 mtpa capacity cold rolled and galvanizing plant for automobile grade steel will also be set up.

An agreement to this effect was jointly signed here on Friday by Bhushan Steel, the Government of West Bengal and the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation Ltd.

The total investment in the projects on the anvil has been pegged at Rs 8,800 crore. The projects will provide gainful engagement — direct and indirect — to around 3,000 people.

While the proposed steel and power plant will come up in Burdwan district, the cold rolled and galvanizing plant will be set up in North 24 Parganas district.
