Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited (KFIL) has successfully installed its third oxygen plant at the Koppal mill in Karnataka, as announced on November 20, 2024. This new facility will enrich the hot blast in mini blast furnaces, enabling increased pulverized coal injection and reducing coke consumption. The project, costing approximately INR 370 million ($4.40 million), was financed through internal accruals and bank loans. This initiative aims to lower manufacturing costs and improve overall production efficiency for KFIL's pig iron and ferrous casting operations.
