A sponge iron plant has been set up in Gummidipoondi with an annual capacity of 60,000 tons. The sponge iron from the plant is used as raw material for the steel mill, which will in turn be used for manufacturing TMT bars. It has the flexibility of using indigenous 100 per cent iron ore lumps or any mix of lump ore and pellets.

Sponge iron is the product created when iron ore is reduced to metallic iron, usually with some kind of flux at temperatures below the melting point of iron. Sponge iron is used as a raw material, substituting and supplementing indigenous and imported scrap for making steel in electric arc furnaces and induction furnaces. It is used as a constituent in manufacturing steel and steel related products.
