Demand for steel seems to be reviving in some way in the global market and BSL is ready to take advantage of this increase in demand of steel in the present time. The Bokaro Steel Plant has received two prestigious export orders from Italy for the supply of Prime Mild Steel Non-Alloy Hot Rolled Coils of European Grade EN 10025-2 S235JR, informed Mani Kant Dhan Chief of Communication BSL.

“In the same series, the first consignment was dispatched by Atanu Bhowmik, Executive Director (Operations) of BSL. The consignment will be sent to M / s Steel Mont, Italy via Paradip Port,” added Dhan.
