Turnkey DRI Plant Solutions in India — Reliable, Efficient & Sustainable

In an era where sustainable and efficient steel-making is critical, choosing the right partner for a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant can make all the difference. At STC India, we deliver turnkey DRI plant solutions across India — combining deep technical proficiency, project execution excellence and adherence to international standards.

What is a DRI Plant?

A DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) plant produces sponge iron (also known as DRI) by reducing iron ore in the solid state — typically using natural gas or reducing gases rather than traditional blast-furnace methods.

Unlike traditional blast furnaces, this process does not melt the ore; instead, it removes oxygen from iron ore pellets or lumps at high temperatures (around 900–1050 °C), resulting in high-purity metallic iron in solid form.

DRI (sponge iron) is ideal as a raw material for electric-furnace-based steelmaking or as feed in mini-mill steel plants — helping reduce dependence on scrap metal.

Why Choose Turnkey DRI Solutions with STC India?

• End-to-end project delivery: From conceptual design to plant commissioning — we take care of every stage of your DRI plant — engineering, procurement, construction, automation, and final hand-over.
• Modern & efficient process engineering: We design DRI plants using best practices and optimum process parameters, ensuring high metallization and sponge-iron quality.
• Cost-effective & resource-efficient: Compared to traditional steel-making routes, DRI-based production reduces energy consumption and lowers environmental impact.
• Flexibility and adaptability: Our turnkey solutions are suited for different scales — from small / medium sponge-iron plants to large capacity DRI production units — based on client requirements.
• Sustainable & future-ready: With growing global emphasis on environmentally-responsible steel production, DRI technology offers lower emissions and cleaner processes.

Our Turnkey DRI Services Include

• Detailed project feasibility and engineering design
• Supply and installation of key equipment — e.g. rotary kilns or shaft furnace systems (depending on chosen DRI technology)
• Raw-material handling systems, crushing, drying, mixing (ore + reductant), automatic charging & feeding systems
• Reduction process control, kiln / furnace automation, temperature & gas flow monitoring
• Sponge-iron cooling, discharge and product handling / storage
• Compliance with environmental, safety and quality standards
• Commissioning support and operational hand-over

Benefits for Steelmakers & Industries

Using a turnkey DRI plant with STC India helps industries:

• Access high-quality sponge iron suitable for EAF-based steelmaking or mini-mills.
• Reduce dependency on traditional blast-furnace routes or high-grade coking coal.
• Achieve lower energy consumption, more predictable raw-material quality, and operational flexibility.
• Meet environmental and emission norms better — a key advantage in today’s regulatory scenario.
