Kenya’s President Mr William Ruto has commissioned KES 50 billion Devki Steel Mills factory in Samburu in Kinango constituency in Kwale in Kenya, which can produce 500,000 tonnes of steel annually. The steel factory will operate blast furnace technology for main steel manufacturing using internally generated power supplemented by the supply from the national grid to help reduce electricity costs associated with the energy-intensive steel sector. The new steel plant will have continuous casting and hot strip capacity, cold rolled coil capacity, a tin plate line, and two direct reduced iron plants. The modern integrated steel plant is expected to revive the iron and steel industry and drive infrastructure, manufacturing and affordable housing development projects that will transform the lives of millions of Kenyans.
