For running the DRI plant at full capacity, production at 5-6 units of CGP will have to be ramped up. In contrast, if coal were made available from its erstwhile captive mine (de- allocated in 2014), the receiving time (post production) would be ~12 hours and cost of gas production would have been USD3-4/mmbtu. DRI plant has restarted in Mar19 and is operating at a run-rate of ~1mtpa (3,000tpd at 50% utilization). JSP plans to increase the DRI utilization run-rate to ~80-85% by Sep19. JSP has started using surplus coke oven gases (two coke oven batteries commissioned last year) in DRI production. The third coke oven battery is likely to be commissioned in FY20. Usage of coke oven gases in DRI production is likely to increase. Coke oven acts as a cost-effective substitute to syngas (gas obtained from CGP).
