<p>The Erlangen, Germany-based Siemens VAI Metals Technologies, a division of Siemens AG, will help the steel major to open a new plant by the middle of 2012, which will help it produce high-quality steel grades up to cold-rolled non-oriented types.<br /><br />Under the agreement, Siemens will design, configure, construct, as well as supervise installation of the RH plant and the associated auxiliary installations.<br /><br />This order is important as it re-starts the relationship between Siemens VAI and Rourkela Steel in bringing about further technological enhancement in special grade steel production.<br />The new RH plant is part of SAIL's expansion drive at the Rourkela facility in Orissa, which is increasing its raw steel production to 4.2 million tonne.</p>
