John Cockerill India (JCIL) has secured a prestigious contract from Godawari Power and Ispat Ltd (GPIL), which is expanding its operations with the establishment of a 2 MTPA greenfield steel plant at Tilda, near Raipur.

Under the contract, JCIL will be responsible for the engineering, design, manufacturing, supply, and supervision of erection and commissioning of a state-of-the-art 6-Hi Reversible Cold Rolling Mill (CRM).

The CRM will incorporate advanced rolling technology and a mill management system to ensure high strip quality while maintaining cost efficiency—supporting GPIL’s goals of producing premium-grade cold-rolled steel.

The project will be executed at JCIL’s Taloja manufacturing facility, near Mumbai, utilising its skilled engineering team and globally sourced high-quality components.
