 As per The Business Standard report, JSW Steel plans to enter into a strategic joint venture with Japan’s JFE Steel Corporation to expand its Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL) operations in Odisha. 

50:50 JV Agreement  

JSW Steel is set to sign a 50:50 joint venture agreement with JFE Steel Corporation to expand BPSL’s capacity in Sambalpur district.  

The project involves an estimated investment of around ₹32,000 crore and is expected to be formalised on April 24.  

The partnership will combine JSW’s operational scale with JFE’s advanced steelmaking technology. 

Capacity Expansion and Structure 

The proposed expansion aims to increase BPSL’s capacity from approximately 4.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to over 10 mtpa.  

As part of the structure, JFE Steel is expected to acquire a 50% stake in the new entity, likely named JSW JFE Steel Ltd, with an investment of around ₹15,750 crore.  

The existing integrated operations of BPSL are expected to be transferred into this joint venture. 

Strategic Implication
