Godawari Power’s HT Steel Billets Get Power Grid Approval

Godawari Power & Ispat Ltd. on Thursday said it has received approval from Power Grid Corp. of India Ltd. to supply HT steel billets for use in galvanised steel structures in transmission projects.

With this approval, Godawari Power can now supply the entire range of HT steel billets to manufacturers of such structures, and directly offer galvanised steel structures to Power Grid. The move is expected to boost business volume and profitability, the company said.

It noted that it was earlier constrained due to the high cost of sourcing billets from the open market. Godawari Power claims to be the only company in India producing galvanised steel structures from iron ore to finished product. It currently has a billet-making capacity of around 500,000 tonnes per annum.
