Built at a production capacity of 700,000 metric tons per annum, the No. 11 coke battery operates with 88 ovens with stamp charge technology and is the largest coke oven complex at the Jamshedpur works. The state-of-the-art facility meets all environmental and safety requirements.
 
Inaugurating the new coke oven battery, Cyrus P. Mistry, Tata group chairman, congratulated and thanked the entire Tata Steel team, partners, suppliers and contractors and said, “The commissioning of the coke oven battery No. 11, also the last milestone project in the completion of the 3-million-metric-ton-per-annum expansion at Jamshedpur steel works, is indeed a proud moment for all of us. The project will bring about commercially significant difference to the operations at the company.”  Mr. Mistry also emphasized safety, saying, “It is an area where we need to improve and endeavor to break set records in all future projects.”
 
On the occasion, TV Narendran, managing director for Tata Steel, India and SEA, said, “It was a challenging project and I take this opportunity to compliment all the members for the successful completion. We have a strong track record of successful implementation of large and complex projects across the steel sector. We are committed to deliver the best to our customers and the commissioning of the coke oven battery No. 11 along with our efforts at the Kalinganagar plant will reinforce our leadership position in the space.”
