SEPC Limited has secured a ₹673.32 crore contract from Steel Authority of India Limited for the expansion of the IISCO Steel Plant (ISP) at Burnpur, West Bengal. The order is part of the plant’s 4.08 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) crude steel expansion programme and marks a significant addition to SEPC’s industrial EPC portfolio.
The scope of work comprises two major packages under the expansion project. The Coke Oven Balance of Plant (COB-3) Package, excluding civil and structural works, is valued at ₹296.77 crore, while the Sinter Plant Balance of Plant (SP-2) Package, including civil and structural works, is valued at ₹376.56 crore. Together, the contracts have an aggregate value of ₹673.32 crore, excluding taxes.
The projects are scheduled to be executed over a period of 30 to 33 months and are expected to strengthen SEPC’s order book while providing long-term revenue visibility. The contract also expands the company’s presence in large-scale steel and heavy industrial infrastructure projects.
The IISCO Steel Plant, a unit of SAIL located at Burnpur in West Bengal, is among the country’s major integrated steel facilities. The ongoing expansion programme is aimed at enhancing crude steel production capacity and supporting India’s growing demand for steel driven by infrastructure development and industrial growth.
Commenting on the development, SEPC said the order reflects the company’s engineering expertise and execution capabilities in handling complex industrial projects. The company believes the project will strengthen its position in the industrial EPC segment and enable it to participate in future opportunities arising from capacity expansion across India’s steel sector.
The latest order comes amid continued investments by steel producers in capacity enhancement and modernization projects, with the sector expected to play a key role in supporting the country’s long-term infrastructure and manufacturing ambitions.
