Jindal India Expands Steel Capacity with Rs 1,500 Crore Investment in West Bengal

Jindal India, a key player in the domestic steel manufacturing sector, has commissioned a new downstream steel facility in West Bengal with an annual production capacity of 0.6 million tonnes. Established with an investment of around Rs 1,500 crore, the project represents a major step in the company’s strategic growth plan aimed at meeting rising steel demand across India.

The new facility marks a 60 percent expansion in Jindal India’s total steel production capacity, which earlier stood at one million tonnes. With this expansion, the company expects a significant boost in sales revenue in the coming years. The state-of-the-art plant will enhance output for coated flat products by 60 percent, pipe products by 40 percent, and crash barrier products by nearly 75 percent — key segments driving infrastructure and construction growth across the country.

Jindal India is part of the USD 2.5 billion BC Jindal Group, a diversified conglomerate with interests spanning steel, energy, and packaging films. This new investment not only reinforces the company’s strong manufacturing base but also reflects its confidence in India’s industrial growth trajectory.

According to company officials, the West Bengal facility has been designed with advanced process technology to ensure high-quality production standards, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The expansion aligns with India’s broader infrastructure development goals and the growing demand for steel from the housing, roads, and industrial sectors.

Industry analysts view Jindal India’s expansion as a timely move, coming at a period when the Indian steel sector is poised for steady growth, supported by government initiatives in construction, transport, and renewable energy.

With this Rs 1,500 crore investment, Jindal India strengthens its presence in the eastern region and sets a new benchmark in downstream steel production, reaffirming its position as one of the country’s most progressive steel manufacturers.
