Jindal Steel has doubled the crude steel production capacity of its Angul plant in Odisha to 12 mln tons per year, as part of its ongoing expansion program.
The capacity increase follows the commissioning of new upstream facilities, including a blast furnace and steelmaking units, which have significantly enhanced the plant’s production capabilities.
The Angul facility, one of India’s largest integrated steel plants, previously operated at around 6 mln tons per annum capacity and has been expanded in phases, including recent additions that raised capacity to 9 mln tons per year before reaching the current level.
The expansion is expected to support rising domestic demand from infrastructure, energy and construction sectors, while improving operational efficiency through enhanced integration, the company said.
Jindal Steel Ltd. is a major Indian steel, mining, and infrastructure company operating integrated plants in Angul, Raigarh, and Patratu, producing a broad range of products including sponge iron, rebars, wire rod, plates, HRC, beams, sections, and rails, including head-hardened rails.
