Established in 1958, the Ferro Alloy Plant at Joda is a landmark of progress and growth in Odisha and is one of the oldest plants in India. It is the first plant in Asia to have SA 8000 certification. The Ferro Alloy plant at Bamnipal, has been recognised as the first successful disinvestment of the Government of Odisha. Currently, production at the plant is above the rated capacity of 50,000 tonnes per annum. A modernisation-cum- expansion plan for the unit is on the anvil that would involve an invstment of Rs. 310 crores and would have another 50,000 tonnes of Ferro Chrome unit and a 60 MW captive power plant. In essence, the division is in the forefront of the Tata Steel Group’s foray into the global ferro alloys and minerals business, and is the market leader in Ferro Chrome in India and is among the top six chrome alloy producers in the world. FAMD is today, the only Indian Ferro Alloy player to build a long-term relationship with the most reputed Steel companies in the world.
Joda
Established in 1958, the Ferro Alloy Plant (FAP) at Joda is a landmark of progress and growth in Odisha and is the oldest continuously operating Ferro Alloy Plant in India. Initially it was set up as a Ferro Manganese plant to supply manganese alloys to the Jamshedpur Works in technical collaboration with Elkem (Norway) – one of the world's pioneers in this type of technology. It is the first plant in Asia to have SA 8000 certification. This state-of-the-art plant is capable of producing 50,000 tonnes of Manganese Alloys (High Carbon Ferro Manganese and High Carbon Silico Manganese).
