The Steel Ministry is working out a detailed plan for developing a steel fabrication cluster around the Bhilai Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh.
Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Steel, Petroleum & Natural Gas, chaired a meeting through video conferencing with officials from the Ministries of Steel; Road Transport and Highways; Railways, INSDAG, SAIL and steel fabricators from Bhilai to firm up the contours of this plan.
“The steel fabrication cluster envisaged will give boost to the MSME sector in the region, facilitate employment generation and give impetus to the local economy,” an official statement said.
Pradhan directed the CEO of the Bhilai Steel Plant to ensure that the steel plate requirement of the steel fabricators in Durg district is fully.
He also discussed a strategy of enhancing steel usage in bridges constructed by the Roads Ministry in line with Railways which is using steel bridges on a large scale.
