1.2) INTRODUCTION
With a view to give impetus to the industrial growth and to meet the inspiration of the people
from the south India, government of India decided to establish a integrated steel plant in public
sector at Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh).
Seeds were thus sown for the construction of the modern sophisticated steel plant having annual
capacity of 3.4 million tonnes of hot metal. In February 1981 the contract was signed with
USSR(now Russia) for preparation of working drawings for Coke Ovens, Blast Furnace and
Sinter Plant. The blast furnace foundation was laid with first mass concreting in the project in
January 1982. The construction of township also started. It has the deepest port and is one of the
principal outlets for country's exporting Iron ore.
Vizag Steel Plant is the only Indian shore-based steel plant, and it has massive land, up to 19,000
acres (7,700 ha), and is poised to become up to 20 MT in a single campus.
Since VSP is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Standard, all saleable
products of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant come under the ISO umbrella.

At VSP IS0:14001 has been awarded for Environment Management System in the Plant. It is the
only integrated steel plant in the country to be certified for ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and
OSHAS 18001:1999

Location: The plant is located in Visakhapatnam City, which is on the coast of Bay of Bengal.
Visakhapatnam city is an important commercial center of Andhra Pradesh.

PRODUCTS:

1) Wire rods (TMT, Plain & Ribbed)

2) Merchant Products
(Angles, Channels, Round & TMT bars)

3) Beam, Billets, Bloooms

4) Reinforce bars

5) Plates (up to 3600 mm wide)

Turnover: The total turn over of this company is reported at last fiscal year (2010-11)
around Rs 11,500 Crores .

Manpower:
The total manpower of VSP is about 17000 strong trained personnel.

Steel Policy envisaging 124 MT steel by 2019-20, Vizag Steel is also planning to expand it’s
capacity from 3.6 MT to 6.3 MT. After considering the buoyancy in domestic steel market for
