On September 2, Finnish mining and metal manufacturing equipment provider Outotec said that it has won an order from India's state-owned steelmaker Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) for the design and delivery of an iron ore sinter plant for SAIL's Bhilai Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh.

Accordingly, Outotec will implement the turnkey plant project in consortium with India-based engineering and construction company Larsen & Toubro Ltd. While not disclosing the contract value, Outotec said that typically technology solutions with corresponding scope range between €20-25 million.
 
The new sinter plant is part of SAIL's program of expanding the annual crude steel production capacity of the Bhilai Steel Plant to seven million metric tons. Outotec's scope covers engineering, supply of proprietary and special equipment as well as technical services for a sinter plant with annual capacity of 3.7 million metric tons. Larsen & Toubro will cover supply of local components and site construction works.

The new sinter plant is expected to become operational in 2012.
