Godawari Power & Ispat Limited has received the ‘Consent to Operate’ for an enhanced production capacity at its Steel Melting Shop (SMS). The capacity has been increased from 5,25,000 MTPA to 5,75,000 MTPA at its existing plant site. This expansion is expected to lead to value addition and improved operating margins as the sponge iron produced will be 100% captively consumed.
Operational Capacity Expansion Approved
Godawari Power & Ispat Limited announced on October 28, 2026, that it has received the ‘Consent to Operate’ for an expansion of its Steel Melting Shop (SMS) capacity. The approval, granted by the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board, allows the company to increase its production capacity from the existing 5,25,000 Metric Tons Per Annum (MTPA) to 5,75,000 MTPA.
Impact on Operations and Margins
This enhanced capacity is situated at the company’s existing plant in the Siltara Industrial Area, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. With the approval in place, the higher capacity for Steel Billets manufacturing means that the sponge iron produced by the Company will be 100% captively consumed. This strategic move is anticipated to drive value addition and lead to improvements in the company’s operating margins. The plant has commenced operations at the increased capacity with immediate effect, signalling a positive step towards greater operational efficiency and profitability.
