Jindal India Completes ₹1,500 Crore Expansion Project in West Bengal with New Coating Facility

Jindal (India) Ltd has completed its ₹1,500 crore expansion programme in West Bengal with the launch of a new continuous colour coating line at its Ranihati manufacturing unit in Howrah district. 

The latest addition forms part of the company’s broader plan to increase downstream steel processing capacity and strengthen its presence in coated flat steel products. The commissioning follows the operational launch of other facilities earlier this year, including a galvanising line, cold rolling mill and pickling unit.

Expansion Programme Completed in Phases

The company stated that the new colour coating line was commissioned after several other units under the expansion plan became operational in February 2026. These included a galvanising coating line, a cold rolling mill and a pickling facility.

The investment programme has been implemented at the company’s manufacturing complex in Ranihati, located in West Bengal’s Howrah district. Jindal India manufactures coated flat steel products, steel pipes and aluminium foil from its facilities in the region.

New Facility to Add Production Capacity

According to the company, the newly commissioned high-speed continuous colour coating line has an annual production capacity of 2,75,000 tonnes. The addition is expected to support the company’s downstream steel manufacturing operations.

Following the expansion, overall production capacity is projected to increase to around 60,000 tonnes per month. The company indicated that the enhanced capacity may contribute to revenue growth during FY27.

Focus on Coated Flat Steel Products

Jindal India said coated flat steel products currently account for nearly 70% of its total output. The latest facility is designed to manufacture a range of coated steel products using different paint technologies, including polyester, epoxy, PVC and Teflon coatings.

These products are generally used across sectors such as construction, infrastructure, appliances and industrial manufacturing.

Company Statement on Expansion Strategy

In its statement, the company said the commissioning of the new line aligns with its long-term expansion plans and is aimed at addressing demand linked to India’s infrastructure and industrial sectors.

The company also noted that the expanded facilities are expected to strengthen manufacturing efficiency and widen its product offerings in the coated steel segment.
