Bird Eye View of Rourkela Steel Plant

Commissioned in 1959, Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) was independent India’s first Integrated Steel Plant and was built with the help of German Collaboration. The four look-alike towering structures in this snap are the Blast Furnaces of RSP, which converts the Iron ore into molten iron. These furnaces supplies raw materials to all downstream plants/mills and in an indirect way they are instrumental in sustaining a township of over 700,000 people.
