The 84,000 cubic metre Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) water reservoir was inaugurated at the IISCO Steel Plant in Burnpur by Union Minister for Steel and Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy. The reservoir is designed to meet the water requirements of COB-10 and the future 4.08 MTPA expansion project through a closed-loop water circulation system supported by a newly constructed Booster Pump House. The plant also achieved significant production milestones during FY 2025–26, increased capital expenditure, and introduced measures to enhance procurement transparency, digital technology adoption, and workforce safety.
