Indian steelmaker Jeevaka Industries has selected Primetals Technologies to supply a 3-strand billet caster and a high-speed rebar outlet for its upcoming steel mill in Hyderabad, Telangana, with commissioning targeted for the first half of 2026.
The billet caster, to be provided by Concast India, a Primetals subsidiary, will produce 100-200 mm square sections. It includes advanced equipment such as a dummy bar system, 50-ton ladle car, and a diagonal hydraulic billet shear with high-speed cutting to improve processing efficiency and reduce waste.
The single-strand rebar outlet will roll 350,000 tons of 8-40 mm rebar per year at speeds up to 45 meters per second, making it one of the fastest in the world.
The project’s scope features advanced technologies including an 8-stand eDrive Morgan No-Twist mill, pre-no-twist and divide shears, a Morgan Water Box for in-line temperature control and pinch rolls, delivery pipes, and a rotary entry system, all integrated with Level 1 automation
Primetals’ eDrive system, utilizing independently driven stands, offers high processing flexibility and reduced operational costs. The Long Rolling Enhanced Temperature Control System ensures precise stock temperature management during rolling.
Founded in 1996, Jeevaka Industries specializes in structural steel for pre-engineered buildings. From high-grade billets, it produces beams, channels, angle, flat, and square bars.
