Shyam Metalics expands rail infrastructure at its steel plant in Odisha

Shyam Metalics and Energy Limited (SMEL) has expanded its rail infrastructure at its integrated steel plant in Pandloi, near Rengali, Odisha. The expansion, completed in 2023, doubled the number of dedicated railway lines to four, including a lead line, three branch lines, and an engine escape line. The plant now handles over 110 rakes per month, but can only manage 60% of the increased demand for raw materials and finished goods.
