New Delhi/Angul: Jindal Steel has completed a major 6 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) expansion at its Integrated Steel Complex in Odisha’s Angul by commissioning the third Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF-3).
This has doubled the plant’s crude steel capacity from 6 MTPA to 12 MTPA, positioning it among India’s largest single-location integrated steel complexes.
Following the expansion, operationalisation of both BOF 2 & BOF-3, along with a suite of associated upstream and downstream facilities, includ
ing coke ovens, the CRM complex, and other critical infrastructure—ensuring seamless integration and ramp-up of capacity, has been completed.
The company said that the plan to scale up the Angul facility significantly was achieved within the scheduled timeline.
Following the addition, Jindal Steel’s total crude steel capacity across its operations now stands at 15.6 MTPA. This includes the enhanced 12 MTPA at Angul and the existing 3.6 MTPA at its Raigarh plant. “The expanded capacity is expected to drive higher volumes and improve capacity utilisation, supporting revenue growth while delivering operating leverage benefits. With increased integration and scale, the company is well-positioned to enhance margins, optimise costs, and improve profitability, while strengthening domestic steel capacity in line with India’s nation-building priorities and the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat,” it added.
