Vraj Iron & Steel Clarifies MoEF&CC Terms of Reference for Greenfield Steel Plant & Captive Power
Vraj Iron and Steel Limited has issued an addendum clarifying the Standard Terms of Reference (ToR) received on October 14, 2026, from the MoEF&CC for its proposed greenfield steel plant. The addendum details captive power generation comprising a 32 MW WHRB plant (16 MW in Phase 1, 16 MW in Phase 2) and a 28 MW FBC power plant (8 MW in Phase 1, 20 MW in Phase 2). It also covers a bricks manufacturing unit with capacity of 24,000 bricks/day in Phase 1 and 40,000 bricks/day in Phase 2. While Terms of Reference mark an early procedural step toward environmental clearance, the integration of 60 MW captive power is crucial for cost efficiency.
