This is the largest single-value EPC order by the client and was bagged against international competition from Chinese, Korean and Russian firms in the fray, L&T informed the BSE.
RINL had invited bids for installation of a new third blast furnace to double its capacity to 6.5 MTPA of hot metal from the present level of 3.2 MTPA.
In line with the National Steel Policy envisaging production of 110 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of steel in the country by the year 2019-20, RINL has embarked upon a capacity expansion at Vizag.
L&T would construct the new blast furnace having a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes of hot metal per year. This is the second biggest blast furnace in India and L&T's Construction Division, ECC, will execute this contract in consortium with Paul Wurth Italia within 30 months, L&T added.
