CFG Alliance is planning to construct a steel plant in Whyalla, South Australia, which will be the largest in the western world, according to company chairman Sanjeev Gupta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gupta announced the new project, Next-Gen Steel, alongside Prime Minister Scott Morrison and leader of the opposition Bill Shorten at a press conference in Whyalla on December last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the turnaround state, and this is the comeback city in Australia when we\u2019re talking about Whyalla,\u201d Morrison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will create a new steel plant for Whyalla capable of producing 10 million tonnes a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gupta also announced that the existing Whyalla steelworks would also be transformed through a $600 million investment into a 1.8 million tonnes a year steel producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GFG Alliance purchased the steelworks in 2017, saving hundreds of jobs in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company signed two contracts with Danieli and CISDI Engineering for the development of rail and structural heavy section mill and a pulverised coal injection (PCI) plant respectively over the next three years at Whyalla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe transformation will vastly improve the operations, financial and environmental performance of the operations, paving the way for Whyalla to become an enticing, global hub for innovative industry,\u201d Gupta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creation of the new next-gen steel operation with a capacity of 10 million tonnes a year (and the infrastructure to eventually double that capacity) and the upgrades to the current Whyalla operation is expected to increase the town\u2019s population fourfold to around 80,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a major boost for our long-term outlook and gives Whyalla City Council and other industries and businesses more confidence to be able to plan for the future,\u201d said Clare McLaughlin, Whyalla mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe plant will also have state-of-the-art environmental controls, which is yet another positive for the community on top of the financial investment and job creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
