Metallurgical Coke Operations
Overview
Erstwhile Sesa Kembla Coke Company Limited (SKCCL); a division of Sesa Goa Limited was formed in 1993 to address the need to produce metallurgical coke internally. It produces a range of coke fractions from over 70 mm for foundries, 20 mm to 60 mm for blast furnaces and 6 mm to 25 mm for the ferrous alloy industries. Approximately 65% of total production of metallurgical coke is consumed by Sesa Industries Limited for its pig iron production and the remainder is sold to customers primarily located in India.
Our metallurgical coke plant is strategically situated at Amona and on the banks of the Mandovi River, which has 84 ovens with an annual production capacity of 280,000 tonnes per annum.
We are expanding our Met-coke production capacity by another 280,000 tonnes per annum which will make our total Met-coke production capacity of 560,000 tonnes per annum post the current expansions.
History
Sesa Goa's metallurgical coke division, which was incorporated from the erstwhile Sesa Kembla Coke Company Limited (SKCCL) on 12 August 1993 incorporated in India as a private limited company for the manufacture of low ash metallurgical coke with a 60% equity stake held by SGL. It was initially started as a joint venture coke manufacturing company in collaboration with Kembla Coal and Coke Limited of Australia. In 1997, SKCCL became a 100% subsidiary of SGL and was merged with SGL with effect from 1 April 2004.
Our metallurgical coke division was started in order to address the need to produce metallurgical coke internally thus avoiding costly imports from abroad. A substantial cost element in the production of pig iron is metallurgical coke. For the long-term successful operation of the pig iron business, it was recognised by the company that it was necessary not only to gain control of this component of cost but also to ensure stable supply. In pursuance of this objective, the Sesa Group decided to set up a coke making operation. Due to the Group's sensitivity to aspects of pollution and Goa being a major tourist destination, a decision was taken in favour of Non-Polluting Non-Recovery Australian Technology.
