India-based Essar Group's steelmaking subsidiary Essar Steel has announced that its subsidiary Essar Steel Processing and Distribution Facility (ESPD) has recently added world-class slitting lines for thicker hot rolled (HR) steel coils, with annual capacities of 100,000 mt, at its facilities in Bahdurgarh and Pune, India.
 
"Targeted at meeting the needs of the fast-growing auto and construction sector in the region, the HR slitter facility will be complimented by narrow cut-to-length lines, which will provide high speed, high quality blanking of HR coils in the customers' desired sizes," reads Essar Steel'sstatement.
 
Accordingly, with the commissioning of these facilities, Essar Steel will enhance its steel processing capacity at each of these centers to 400,000 mt per annum.
 
The newly-installed HR slitter will process coils up to 12 mm thick and 2,000 mm wide into strips of desired widths down to 50 mm, which clearly is a benchmark in the country.
 
Essar Steel has a global steel production capacity of 14 million mt per year. It operates seven service centers in India and Indonesia with an aggregate capacity of over 4 million mt.
