Coal & Iron Ore

COAL

Velova Coal and Eco Power India Limited act in the coal sector under the services of production and trading. We have leased coal mines in Mahanadi, Odisha based in the northeastern part of India.

 

Coal is a substance essential for the transformation of iron ore into steel. Coal is used in the steel industry as well as for the generation of electricity. Metallurgical coal is used in the manufacture of steel and is the focus of our operations and projects. And thermal coal, also produced by our operations, is used to generate heat and energy in thermal power plants.

IRON ORE

Velova has leased an iron ore mine in kudremukh, Chikkamangaluru District based in the southern part of India. We are one of India's biggest producers and traders of iron ore and pellets, raw materials essential to the manufacture of steel.

Iron ore is found in nature in the form of rocks, mixed with other elements. By means of various industrial processes incorporating cutting-edge technology, iron ore is processed and then sold to steel companies. The iron ore produced by Velova groups can be found in houses, cars, and household appliances.

Velova is investing in technological innovations and developing initiatives to prevent and minimize the environmental impacts that mining causes. Our aim is to set the benchmark in the sustainable management and use of natural resources.

Pellets are small balls of iron ore used in the production of steel. They are made with technology that uses the powder that is generated during the ore extraction process, once considered waste.

The pellets are used in the production of steel which is used in the construction of bridges, cars, planes, bicycles, household appliances and much more.

USAGE OF IRON ORE PELLETS

The ore goes through a blast furnace that only works when air can circulate freely. For this reason, the material needs to be big enough so that there are spaces between each piece.
On top of this, the ore needs to be strong enough not to be crushed thereby obstructing the blast furnace. Thus, the production of pellets is fundamental to the steel production process.
