JSW Steel is the fastest-growing private-sector steel company in India. In order to increase steel production from four to seven million tons of steel per year, the company launched its so-called Cheetah project. Major investments were made in new hot-metal-production and steelmaking facilities. For the new blast furnace, Siemens VAI received the order for the design and supply of all primary blast-furnace equipment and technical services for construction and commissioning. This included the copper stave coolers, the pulverized-coal injection system and a high-efficiency hot-blast stove plant. A complete automation package was also installed, highlighted by the VAiron expert system for hot -metal production and quality control. Site construction was provided by JSW Steel.
