Vanya Steels, a subsidiary of A-One Steel Group, is investing approximately ₹100 crore to set up a cutting-edge 10 MW captive power plant at its Koppal facility in Karnataka. Using advanced Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) technology, the project will convert industrial waste heat into clean electricity, marking a significant milestone in sustainable manufacturing for the region. The Plant is expected to be commissioned by July 31, 2025.
The WHRB-based captive power plant will repurpose residual heat from the steelmaking process, energy traditionally lost to the environment, into a reliable source of green power. This will reduce dependence on grid electricity, lower operational costs, and cut carbon emissions, advancing both environmental goals and energy security.
Krishan Kumar Jallan, Founder & Chairman, A-One Steel Group, said, “This initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to building a greener, more resilient future for Indian steel. By harnessing waste heat to generate clean power, we are demonstrating that responsible manufacturing isn’t just good for the environment, it’s a strategic advantage that strengthens our competitiveness, supports local communities, and aligns with India’s vision of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat.”
The project advances the Make in India mission by generating local employment (60 people) in the Koppal location, fostering allied industries critical to the green energy transition, and strengthening advanced indigenous infrastructure. Once operational, the 10 MW facility will rank among Karnataka’s leading industrial-scale waste heat utilisation projects in the steel sector, underscoring the state’s leadership in renewable and clean energy adoption.
The installation forms part of A-One Steel Group’s broader strategy to integrate sustainable technologies across all operations, enhance resource efficiency, and support India’s decarbonization goals. Commissioning is currently underway, with commercial operations expected to commence soon.
