Lloyds Metals & Energy has announced the commissioning of its second pellet plant in Konsari, Maharashtra, with a capacity of 4 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). This project was completed in an impressive 16 months, showcasing the company's efficiency in executing industrial projects. With this new facility, Lloyds Metals now operates two pellet plants at the same location, achieving a combined capacity of 8 MTPA. The existing plant has reached full capacity utilization, demonstrating strong operational performance. The new plant sources its feedstock from the company's low-alumina iron ore mines located in Surjagarh, Gadchiroli, which are connected via an 85-kilometre iron ore slurry pipeline. This strategic move not only enhances production capabilities but also aligns with Lloyds Metals' vision of building an integrated steel value chain, producing premium-grade pellets that are competitive in both domestic and export markets.
