‘Mega’ steel plant on cards for Whyalla

GFG Alliance executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta has unveiled plans to build a ‘Next-Gen’ steel plant in Whyalla that will be the largest in the world.

The plant would be capable of producing 10 million tonnes per annum, with the ability and infrastructure to eventually double capacity.

“Using the most advanced technologies and our own local resources, we will aim to be one of the most competitive steel producers globally,” Mr Gupta said.

“Thousands of job opportunities will be created throughout the construction phase and from the plant’s ongoing operations.”
