Jindal (India) Ltd commissions 0.6 million MT steel capacity expansion in West Bengal

Kolkata, Oct 7 (UNI) Jindal (India) Ltd, a BC Jindal Group company and one of India's leading downstream steel product manufacturers, has announced commissioning of 0.6 million MT downstream steel capacity expansion at its manufacturing facilities in West Bengal.
The commencement of commissioning of the new cold rolling complex marks the completion of a major part of the expansion.
This capacity expansion will lead to a 60 percent increase over the company's existing 1 million MT per annum capacity. With an investment of Rs 1500 crore, the company expects to achieve a significant increase in its sales revenue in coming years.
Part of the Rs 18,000 crore BC Jindal Group, Jindal (India) Limited has focused on growing its production capacity by adding new lines for coated flat products with both established and new innovative coating technologies.
This expansion strengthens the company's manufacturing capabilities for its existing product range, while also broadening its product portfolio to cater to emerging segments such as solar and home appliances.
In addition, the company has enhanced its capacity for manufacturing crash barrier and pipe products, particularly hollow section pipes that are used in the construction sector.
The new production lines have been installed at the company's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the industrial Howrah district. The new production lines are established with equipment supplied by leading machinery providers like John Cockerill and Esmech Equipment (SMS Group).
"The strategic expansion aligns with our mission to contribute to the government's infrastructure development goals. It will further help us to drive growth in FY26, expand our geographical footprint and enhance our capabilities to manufacture premium downstream steel products. This move underscores Jindal (India) Limited's commitment to innovation and long-term growth," said a company spokesperson today.
Post the expansion, the company's capacity for coated flat products is set to increase by 60 percent from the current capacity, 40 percent for pipe products, and 75 percent in the crash barrier segment.
Jindal (India) Limited is one of the oldest players in the downstream steel product industry. A significant portion of the company's revenue has been driven by the eastern region, followed by South India. However, over the years, the company has adopted a pan-India strategy, expanding into North and West India through increased capacity growth.
Currently, contributions from these two regions make up approximately 20 pc of its revenue, and the company aims to increase this to 30 pc in the near future. Jindal (India) Limited sees immense potential in these regions due to the rapid growth in infrastructure development and industrial projects.
"As a national player, we are dedicated to solidifying its foothold in existing markets while expanding into these key regions vital for growth," the spokesperson added.
Recently, the company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Jindal India Steel Tech Limited (JISTL), received the Letter of Approval (LoA) for setting up a green-field steel manufacturing plant in Dhenkanal, Odisha.
The company plans to invest a total of Rs 15,000 crore in Odisha in three phases by 2030, with the current Rs 3,600 crore investment marking the first phase of the project.
