Bokaro, Nov. 2 -- In a technological breakthrough, SAIL-Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) has successfully developed a special grade non-grain oriented (NGO) electrical steel under IS:18316 standards for use in electric vehicles and electric motors.
According to Manikant Dhan, Chief of Communications, BSL, the plant achieved successful trial production of 1,100 tonnes, marking a milestone as only a few countries possess the capability to produce such advanced steel. Until now, India largely depended on imports for this grade.
The steel, produced through a complex process involving precise carbon control and high silicon content, ensures high magnetic efficiency and ductility, making it ideal for electric motors, generators, and hybrid vehicles.
