The company plans to engage with local talent and resources, enhancing skills through training programs that support the community’s long-term development goals.

Upon completion, the expanded facilities are poised to significantly boost JSPL’s production capacity and market reach. This strategic enhancement not only strengthens JSPL's supply chain but also increases its competitiveness in the global steel market. With this expansion, Jindal Steel & Power Limited is set to continue its trajectory towards becoming a more robust, sustainable, and socially responsible leader in the steel industry.
