Jindal Steel Ltd has announced an expansion of its structural steel manufacturing capabilities at its Raigarh facility. The company plans to double its existing structural steel capacity from 1.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 2.4 MTPA by mid-2028. This development is aimed at enhancing the availability of heavy and ultra-heavy structural steel sections in India.
The expansion will involve the commissioning of a new, dedicated structural steel mill. Additionally, there will be advanced upstream and downstream technology upgrades. These enhancements will enable the production of larger, heavier, and more complex parallel flange sections. The company currently manufactures sections ranging from 100 mm to 900 mm, with sectional weights of up to 333 kg per metre. Post-expansion, the capability will extend to sections with depths up to 1,100 mm and weights up to 1,500 kg per metre.
Jindal Steel’s expansion is set to support growing demand from infrastructure, refinery, power, renewable energy, transmission, and high-rise construction projects. The enhanced capabilities will significantly reduce India’s reliance on imported heavy structural steel sections. The company aims to manufacture India’s largest parallel flange sections, which are crucial for next-generation infrastructure and energy projects.
The timeline for this expansion is set for completion by mid-2028. The project will include the establishment of a new structural steel mill and the implementation of advanced technology upgrades. These developments are part of Jindal Steel’s strategy to reinforce its leadership in the structural steel segment.
