Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has won the ‘‘Best Integrated Steel Plant’ title under SAIL Corporate Awards for Excellence-2021 in recognition of its remarkable overall performance in the financial year 2020-21.
RSP has performed exceedingly well in production, productivity, techno-economics and profitability in the last fiscal and went on to achieve the Annual Business Plan (ABP) targets for the first time in history. The Steel Plant registered all-time high production of Hot Metal, Crude Steel and Saleable Steel in FY21. RSP was also successful in further improving its techno-economics to clock the best figures in major areas in the previous fiscal.

The incredible performance came amidst one of the most challenging times during COVID-19 pandemic. The Steel Plant adopted an integrated response to go past the challenges. The multipronged approach included augmenting healthcare facilities with special focus on testing, treating and vaccination during the year.
