Sponge Iron
Sponge Iron, also known as Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), is an essential raw material for manufacturing premium-grade steel. Produced by reducing high-quality iron ore without melting, it serves as a superior alternative to scrap metal in steelmaking, ensuring higher purity and consistency.
At Suryadev, our Sponge Iron is manufactured in Tamil Nadu’s largest DRI plant, utilizing advanced rotary kiln reduction technology. This process guarantees exceptional metallization, minimal impurities, and uniform density, making it the preferred choice for steel manufacturers. Playing a critical role in our steelmaking operations, Suryadev’s Sponge Iron ensures efficiency while supporting the production of high-strength, reliable steel products trusted across the industry.
