Vanya Steels to Build Rs 100 Cr Green Power Plant in Karnataka

In a significant boost to sustainable manufacturing, Vanya Steels, a subsidiary of A-One Steel Group announced a Rs 100 crore investment in a 10 MW waste-to-energy power plant at its unit at Koppal in Karnataka. The project is expected to be commissioned by July 31, 2025.

The new plant will utilize Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) technology, converting excess heat from steel production into clean electricity. “This initiative marks a significant step toward sustainable manufacturing in the region,” said Krishan Kumar Jallan, Founder and Chairman of A-One Steel Group.

“Generating green power from waste heat not only minimizes our environmental footprint but also enhances operational resilience. It’s a strategic move that supports community development, boosts our competitiveness, and reflects our commitment to India’s AatmaNirbhar Bharat vision,” Mr Jallan added.
