“Blossoming of a fiery bud!” exclaimed Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, the then President of India while inaugurating the Pig Iron Plant of LANCO Industries Limited in September 1994. And the bud has indeed blossomed!
Commissioned in a record time of 11 months, LANCO Industries Limited, a 90,000 tones per annum Pig Iron Plant, surpassed its rated capacity just after two years of commissioning. Later it transformed the slag-a waste by-product, into productive Slag Cement with setting-up of Cement Plant. The Pig Iron Plant capacity was upgraded to 1,50,000 tones per annum in the year 2003.
“What represented the finest facet of India 's youthful techno-entrepreneurial strength has today evolved to become the future of growth of Indian |

business- turning competition into partnership.” These words of Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, sums up the saga of LANCO Industries Limited which has turned 12 years. |

Technology & Capacities |
| |
With the state of the art technology supplied by Korf Technological Services-Brazil, the plant has a Mini Blast Furnace (MBF) of 215 m3 working volume producing quality Foundry and SG grade Pig Iron supplying to major foundries. The mini blast furnace has been set up, conforming to the latest technology in an eco-friendly ambience, with the power requirements taken care of by a captive power plant of capacity 2.5 MW. BF gas fired captive power plant has been installed to utilize BF gas generated from the furnace. This will reduce the power cost and also save the environment due to emission of gas to atmosphere.
