The announcement reports a severe industrial accident resulting in six fatalities and six injuries, along with the closure of a key plant operation. This directly impacts human life and company operations negatively.
* On 26th September, 2025, around 5:00 PM, an incident occurred at Godawari Power And Ispat Limited's (GPIL) iron ore pellet plant located at Siltara Industrial Area, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. * The incident was caused by the collapse of the refractory of the side wall of the travel grate during routine plant inspection. * Six employees tragically died, and six others sustained injuries. Out of the injured, one employee has been discharged, and the condition of the remaining five is stable, with expected discharge within a week. * The management of GPIL expressed deep sorrow over the unfortunate deaths and initiated an internal enquiry to investigate the root cause and prevent future reoccurrences. * The operations of the affected iron ore pellet plant will remain closed until the internal enquiry is completed and the refractory lining in the travel grate is reset. * However, other manufacturing activities, including another pellet plant, DRI, and SMS units, are running uninterrupted and unaffected. * The quantum of loss due to the interruption in iron ore pellet production is not immediately ascertainable and will be intimated later. * The entire plant is covered by insurance. For employees, there is a Group Term Life Policy of ₹10,00,000 per employee in case of death, and a Group Personal Accident Policy offering a minimum compensation of ₹5,00,000 and a maximum of ₹10,00,000 in case of an accident.
