SAIL-ISP, which has already completed its modernization and expansion, is significantly ramping up production from its new facilities and the 0.55 Million tons Wire rod mill of SAIL-ISP shall soon be producing world-class wire rods in special grades to meet both domestic and international requirements. SAIL Chairman P.K. Singh has been emphasizing on 'Production to Capacity' and then 'Production to Potential' and this agreement may back up the management's initiatives for realizing the potential at Company's new mills. Under the agreement, POSCO will provide technical supervising service including its know-how relating to operation and maintenance of Coke-making, Iron and Steelmaking, Continuous Casting Process, Cold Dust Injection (CDI) operation and Wire-Rod mills. This agreement is a result of an earlier MoU on Technical Collaboration for Operational improvement and Human Resource Development which SAIL and POSCO had entered into in November 2016. This technical agreement will pave the way for sharing of best practices in the area of technology and maintenance which will immensely benefit SAIL-ISP in reaping benefits from its modernized units faster.
