2. Improving work zone environment 9 of Dry fog Systems were commissioned in78 areas covering 443 locations to avoid fugitive emissions during material handling & processing 3.Reduction of CO2 emissions

120 MW BF gas based power plant was commissioned and power generation started from Aug16. 151983 MWh produced in 2016-17 there by, reducing lot of CO2 emissions.

4.Plantation: Green Visakha Program

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment and Forest which visited Visakhapatnam during 19th to 21th October, 2011 directed PSUs in Visakhapatnam city to take up 40 lakhs plantation over a period of 5 years. RINL/VSP has been advised to plant 4, 50,000 trees in 5 years. VSP has planted

Waste Water Recycling Systems at VSP


2, 75,600 trees under this program by Mar’2017 and is in the process of completing the balance plantation.

5. World Environment Day & Awareness campaigns at VSP

6.Environment Awareness An Environment stallwasset up atTrishna grounds, Ukkunagaram on the RINL formation day, VSP formation day i.e., 18.02.2017. The stall showcased to the public,equipment, methods and techniques involvedinmeasurement and monitoring of various parameters, that are necessary, for accessing quality of environment in a steel plant. This stall attracted huge crowds.

7.0 Innovation and Development 7.1 RINL signed MoU with CCI for setting up Cement Plant

• RashtriyaIspat Nigam Limited, the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and Cement Corporation of India (CCI), a PSU under Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 14th July 2017 to set up 2 mtpa Fly Ash & Blast Furnace Slag based Cement Plant in a Joint Venture in two phases of one million tonne capacity each. RINL generates a large quantity of BF slag and fly ash, prime raw material for the Cement Plant. The cost of the project is approximately Rs. 150 Cr. The project is proposed to be completed within 15 months from the date of placement of order.

Sri ManojMisra, CMD, CCI and Sri P.C. Mohapatra, Director (Projects) RINL exchanging the MOU copies in the presence of Sri P Madhusudan CMD, Directors of RINL and CCI 7.2 Utilization of LD slag

• To overcome logistics challenges that were preventing consumption of higher quantities of LD Slag at Sinter Plant, VSP has developed fabricated & deployed a unique in-situ charging systems for on-line charging of LD Slag to conveyors of Sinter Plant. This has led to substantial increase in consumption of LD Slag at Sinter Plant.

8. Future thrust areas


• VSP is now focusing on utilization of metallurgical wastes & hazardous wastes. A

number of projects in this direction are taken up for implementation. 9. Environment related CSR activities

Swachh Bharat &Sanitation

• “SwachhVisakha”: 30 Dumper bins were

provided to Greater Visakha Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Visakhapatnam to address the infrastructure needs for effective waste Management.

• “Swachh Gram “: A project to address the sanitation needs i.e supply of drinking water through solar power and construction of household toilets has been taken up in “Nadumuveedhi” a tribal village of Visakhapatnam district. Solar powered drinking water supply system has been installed and 24 x 7 water is being supplied to the villagers. Further individual household toilets are in the process of construction.

• Supply of Drinking water was undertaken in four Rehabilitation colonies & surrounding villages of Plant during summer months. 80,000litres per day of Drinking water was supplied.

• Installation of Three RO water plants has been taken up in the surrounding villages of plant viz,.atDespatrunipalem, Islampeta and Madinabagh through GVMC.


• Two e-toilets, the first of its kind in |Ukkunagaram, were installed at the try-weekly market

for the benefit of the public visiting the market and vendors.These e-toilets will further help in improving the environment and also address the problem of open defecation to a very good extent.

• Swachh Bharat:1786 Swachh Bharat activities were carried out in various departments of

the Plant & Mines.

• Fortnight long Swachta drives “Swachh Bharat Pakhwada” were organized in several

department and Mines during May,2016. During the fortnights, a plethora of activities like Swachta walkathon, Poster & Slogan competition, SwachtaRath for awareness building amongst the communities, Zero plastic campaign etc. were conducted. The Pakhwadawitnessed extensive participation at all levels.


• SafaiPakhwada:As per the direction received from Hon’ble Steel Minister, Govt. of India, to observe cleanliness fortnights (SafaiPakhwada) by all PSU’s under the control of Ministry of Steel, ‘SafaiPakhwada’ has been initiated at RINL since 1st August 2016.SafaiPakhwada’ were observed in all the departments in a phased &sustained manner throughout the year Pakhwada Reports at the end of each fortnight were prepared and forwarded to MoS.


• SwachtaPuraskar awards wereinstituted to instill competition in implementing Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in their departments and to encourage the innovative work during the Swachta campaigns. These awards were presented toCentral Stores Department, Town Administration Department, Blast Furnace Department and ETL Department during RINL Formation day i.e 18th February’2017.

• BalSwachhJagruthi: Eleven Awareness programmes on good hygiene practices through audio visual medium were conducted to children in the schools situated in the surrounding areas of Plant &Mines covering 1015 children.
