Since its establishment in 1991, LISCO has implemented a policy of continual improvement of its facilities by upgrading existing plants and introducing new production lines with the aim to meet increasing domestic demand and diversify its product mix to increase its export share of overseas markets. In recent years, a number of new projects were commissioned which are currently operational: - In 2005 Expansion of strip pickling line and a new AR station - In 2007 New wire drawing, galvanizing and coating lines - In 2004 LISCO commissioned the Industrial Research Centre to prepare the technoeconomic studies for the expansion scheme of its plants to a capacity of 3 Mt/y of liquid steel and commenced the implementation of Phase 1 of the scheme in SMS 1 to achieve a capacity of 1.14 Mt/y of liquid steel. Due to unprecedented demand on steel products and raw materials in domestic and overseas markets, review and updating of the expansion scheme was seen necessary. In 2006 LISCO commissioned Dastur Engineering International to upgrade the previous study and prepare a new Master Plan to achieve an annual capacity of 4.168 Mt of liquid steel, The Master Plan was approved in August 2007 by LISCOs General Board andthe commencement of the Master Plan implementation is currently underway The Master Plan main expansion projects are: Direct Reduction Plant:
