Kolkata, Oct. 6

Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) has reported an all-time best half-yearly performance during April-September 2007. Production of hot metal during the first half of the current fiscal stood at 1.09 million tonnes, crude steel at 0.97 mt and saleable steel at 0.85 mt, thereby representing a growth of 24.7 per cent, 17.9 per cent and 8.6 per cent, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal. According to a press release, a strategic initiative has been taken to produce value-added steel for higher realisations. In September, DSP produced 45,707 tonnes of value-added steel, surpassing the previous monthly-best production of 44,032 tonnes. The company has also taken up the task of forging Box-N wagon axles last month on a regular basis at the behest of Indian Railways. A new hammer was commissioned in the axle plant to facilitate the process, the release adds. —
