Bhushan Steel sources said that discussions with Sumitomo are on but it is not yet confirmed.
The land requirement for the original project was 2,500 acres. Sources indicated that the company would squeeze in six million tonnes in the same land in the Bardhaman district. The change in plan had been communicated to the state government.
Sumitomo happens to be a technical partner in Bhushan Steel’s Orissa project. The investment in the original Bengal project was estimated to be Rs8,800 crore, which also included a 0.5 million tonne cold rolling and galvanizing plant for automobile grade steel. However the changed size of the project implied that investment would more than double.
