Jindal (India) Limited, part of the BC Jindal Group and a leading downstream steel products manufacturer in India, has announced an additional investment of Rs 1.5 billion at its state-of-the-art facilities in Howrah, West Bengal. The investment will support upgrades to existing production lines and the commissioning of new machinery to increase overall manufacturing capacity.

As part of its broader expansion plan, the BC Jindal Group, led by Shyam Jindal, Promoter, BC Jindal Group, recently announced the commissioning of 0.6 million MT of downstream steel capacity at its West Bengal facilities, with an investment of Rs 15 billion. The commencement of commissioning of the new cold rolling complex marks the completion of a major phase of this expansion. The additional capacity is expected to result in a 60 per cent increase over the company’s existing capacity of 1 million MT per annum.

Jindal (India) Limited, a market leader in steel sheets and pipes, currently has a combined manufacturing capacity of 1.16 million tonnes across its two plants. With the additional Rs 1.5 billion investment, the company plans to increase production by 9 per cent to 1.27 million tonnes by the end of FY26. This investment, along with the recent capacity expansion, is expected to drive a significant increase in sales revenue in the coming years.

“This strategic investment is a pivotal step towards shaping the long-term growth trajectory of the company.  As part of this project, we are also revamping our CGL line, which will lead to an increase in current production capacity, adding to overall revenues significantly. In addition to scaling up our output, we also aim to improve our operational efficiency and our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said a Jindal (India) Limited spokesperson.

In addition, with an investment of over Rs 0.5 billion, the company plans to install a modern embossing facility with Cut-to-Length (CTL) capability at its Ranihati plant to serve the white goods industry in India. Jindal (India) Limited, which recently announced additional colour-coated manufacturing capacity to better serve high-end white goods manufacturers, expects revenues to rise by 20 per cent in FY27 through this investment.

Jindal (India) Limited operates two modern manufacturing facilities in Howrah, West Bengal, and offers advanced colour coating and metal coating technologies. The company’s product portfolio spans three key divisions—sheets, pipes and aluminium foil. With established brands such as Jindal Sabrang and Jindal NeuColor+, the company holds a dominant position in the colour-coated sheets market in Eastern India and maintains a strong presence nationwide. Currently, coated flat steel products account for 70 per cent of total production and remain a core focus for future growth.

One of the oldest players in the downstream steel products industry, Jindal (India) Limited has traditionally derived a significant share of its revenue from Eastern India, followed by South India. Over the years, the company has adopted a pan-India strategy, expanding into North and West India through capacity growth. These two regions currently contribute around 20 per cent of revenue, with a target to increase this to 30 per cent in the near future, driven by strong infrastructure and industrial development.

Recently, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Jindal India Steel Tech Limited (JISTL), the company received a Letter of Approval for setting up a greenfield steel manufacturing plant in Dhenkanal, Odisha. JISTL plans to invest Rs 36 billion in the first phase and a total of Rs 150 billion in the state across three phases by 2030.
