Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], May 18: Sree Metaliks Ltd., a well-known private limited company, has been at the forefront of multi-product sponge iron and steel manufacture since 1995. With a strong focus on quality, environmental stewardship, and occupational health and safety, the company has earned several prestigious certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001:2015 for Environment Management Systems, and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The Khandbandh Iron Ore Mines, a captive mine extending across 35.774 hectares, is one of the fundamental pillars of Sree Metaliks Ltd’s success.
These mines, located within the Baitarani Reserve Forest in Odisha’s Keonjhar District, near the hamlet of Khandbandh under Barbil Tehsil, have been critical to the company’s activities. The whole mining licence area is located within the Baitarani Reserve Forest and was awarded to Sree Metaliks Ltd on January 11, 2017, for a duration of 50 years, expiring on January 10, 2067. On March 21, 2018, mining activities at the site began.
In 2018, the mine initiated production at a rate of 702,048 tonnes per annum (0.702 million tonnes per annum), having obtained all the necessary statutory clearances. As a captive mine, the production and consumption of iron ore are entirely dependent on the requirements of the plant on a regular basis.
During that year, Loidapada and Anra consumed 1.30 million tonnes of iron ore every year, with 0.702 million tonnes coming from the mines and the remainder obtained from other sources. However, when the Anra facility expanded, the total iron ore consumption increased from 1.30 million tonnes per year to 2.0 million tonnes per year. Sree Metaliks Limited boosted its iron ore output at the Khandbandh Mines from 0.702 million tonnes per year to 1.50 million tonnes per year in response to this increasing demand. The decision to double production capacity was motivated by the company’s strategic vision as well as the necessity to meet the expanding market demands.
