Coking coal when heated in Coke Ovens in absence of oxygen, releases the volatile components and gets converted to coke which is then used in blast furnace along with iron ore for producing Hot Metal. This Hot Metal is further processed during steel-making.

Kalinganagar Project is the largest single location Greenfield steel project in India having a rated capacity of 3 MTPA in first phase. Various units of plant will start commercial production sequentially. In the first phase, the steel plant will have two Coke Oven battery, each comprising 88 ovens and having a gross coke production capacity of 1.5 MTPA. With this event, Coke Oven gas also will be available, which will be used as fuel for other production units.
