Rourkela Steel Plant was the first integrated steel plant in the public sector in India. It was set up with West Germany collaboration with an installed capacity of 1 million tonnes in the 1960s. German metallurgical firms Mannesmann, Krupp, Demag, Siemens and Austrian company Voestalpine provided machinery and consultancy to the plant among others. Rourkela Steel Plant was the first steel plant in Asia to use the LD (Linz-Donawitz) process of steel-making. On 3 February 1959, then president Dr Rajendra Prasad had inaugurated RSP's first blast furnace named 'Parvati' when the company was known as Hindustan Steel Limited. Subsequently, the RSP became a unit of SAIL. RSP presently has the capacity to produce 4.5 million tonnes of hot metal, 4.2 million tonnes of crude steel and 3.9 million tonnes of saleable steel.
