India’s JSW Utkal Steel has contracted Germany’s SMS Group to design and supply a sinter plant for its planned 13.2 million mt/year integrated steelworks in Paradeep, Odisha.
The first-phase plant will have an annual capacity of about 5.75 million mt and a strand area of 496 square meters. Commissioning is scheduled for May 2028. SMS Group will provide design and engineering services, equipment, electrical systems, and Level 1 and Level 2 automation.
The plant will use SMS’s Emission- and Energy-Optimized Sintering (EOS) technology, which recirculates off-gases and recovers waste heat. According to SMS Group, this will reduce solid fuel use, operating costs, and sulphur oxide and carbon emissions. The Optimus Sinter digital solution will support production stability, fuel optimization, and real-time process monitoring without requiring additional hardware.
