The new facility will utilize induction heating technology without the need for reheating furnaces, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency.
The new rolling mill, which is scheduled to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2026, will have an annual production capacity of 500,000 metric tons and will serve demand for high quality construction steel products. The plant will produce bars in diameters ranging from 8 to 40 mm and wire rod in diameters from 5.5 to 20 mm, strengthening Kalyani Ispat’s ability to respond to the rapidly growing construction and infrastructure market in Asia.
The order includes comprehensive equipment such as a ten stand finishing block, new cutting and dividing shears and a High Speed Delivery HSD® system. SMS group’s HSD® technology increases production efficiency while ensuring short downtime and consistent product quality. Production speeds will reach up to 45 meters per second on the bar line and up to 100 meters per second on the wire rod line.
The new facility will also integrate systems such as water boxes and a Loop Cooling Conveyor LCC® to improve mechanical properties and reduce dependence on costly alloying elements. An automatic coil handling system will further enhance production efficiency.
Bernhard Steenken, Chief Strategy Officer Asia Pacific and Middle East Africa at SMS group, emphasized, “This partnership underscores the trust in SMS group’s high speed mill technology and our mission to deliver competitive advantages through increased efficiency, energy savings and sustainability.”
With its environmentally friendly design and advanced automation technology, the new plant will enhance both production capacity and product quality, strengthening Kalyani Ispat’s position in the Indian steel market.
