Jindal Steel & Power has announced a significant expansion of its heat-treated plate capacity, increasing output to 7 lakh tonnes a year. The development strengthens the company’s offering in high-grade steel plates used across infrastructure, defence, transport and industrial sectors.
The upgrade also reflects growing domestic demand and the government’s emphasis on reducing reliance on imported steel.
Jindal Steel has raised its heat-treatment capacity from about 15,000–20,000 tonnes a month in 2013 to nearly 60,000 tonnes currently.
The enhanced facility supports the production of high-strength quenched and tempered plates, abrasion-resistant grades and defence-grade products for armoured applications.
The company noted that these plates serve specialised needs across various industries.
The manufacturer’s product line extends beyond plates to rails, universal beams, wire rods, rebars and hot-rolled coils.
Heat-treated plates, which undergo additional processing to improve durability and structural strength, are used in construction, highways, shipbuilding and pipeline networks for oil and gas.
These applications are aligned with India’s ongoing infrastructure development plans.
Jindal Steel highlighted its work in developing newer plate variants, including fire-resistant steel. The company offers both furnace-normalised and quenched products, with its facilities capable of processing plates from 6 mm to 200 mm in thickness and up to 5 metres in width.
These capabilities also support exports, with around 10 percent of production supplied to more than 30 countries.
The announcement follows the company’s commissioning of a Basic Oxygen Furnace converter at its Angul plant in Odisha.
Jindal Steel is also planning supporting infrastructure, including a port at Paradip, alongside a slurry pipeline and coal conveyor system, to improve movement of raw materials and finished products.
The company operates manufacturing plants at Patratu, Raigarh and Angul.
Jindal Steel Limited was trading at ₹1,029.50, up ₹16.60 or 1.64%. The share opened at ₹1,019.00, compared with the previous close of ₹1,012.90.
