Vanya Steels to invest in waste heat power plant in Karnataka

Vanya Steels Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of A-One Steel Group, will invest around Rs 1 billion to set up a 10 MW captive power plant at its Koppal facility in Karnataka. The project, slated for commissioning by 31 July 2025, will use Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) technology to convert residual heat from steelmaking into electricity.

The plant will repurpose industrial waste heat, normally lost during the production process, into clean power. This is expected to reduce dependence on grid electricity, lower operational costs, and cut carbon emissions. 

Once operational, the WHRB-based plant will be among Karnataka’s leading industrial-scale waste heat utilisation projects in the steel sector. It is expected to generate employment for 60 people at the Koppal site.
