Jindal Steel has completed the expansion of its Angul Integrated Steel Complex in Odisha, doubling its crude steel capacity to 12 million tonnes per annum with the commissioning of a third Basic Oxygen Furnace, marking a significant scale-up at a single-location facility.
The addition of the 3 MTPA BOF-3 unit brings the Angul plant among the largest integrated steel complexes in India. The expansion also finalises the operational rollout of BOF-2 and BOF-3, alongside a network of upstream and downstream infrastructure designed to support seamless production integration.
The company has commissioned associated facilities including coke ovens, a cold rolling mill complex and other critical systems required to stabilise and scale operations. With these units now functional, the expansion from 6 MTPA to 12 MTPA has been completed within the planned timeline, according to company disclosures.
Following the Angul expansion, Jindal Steel’s total crude steel capacity has increased to 15.6 MTPA, factoring in an additional 3.6 MTPA at its Raigarh facility. The company operates an integrated production model, linking raw material sourcing with steel manufacturing to support higher efficiency and output consistency.
The expanded capacity is expected to increase production volumes and improve utilisation rates across facilities. Company assessments indicate that higher throughput and operational scale are likely to contribute to revenue growth, while also enabling cost efficiencies and improved margins through operating leverage.
Officials said the integration of new and existing infrastructure is expected to optimise production flows and reduce bottlenecks, strengthening the company’s competitive position in the domestic steel sector. The scale-up aligns with broader industry trends focused on capacity expansion to meet infrastructure and manufacturing demand.
Jindal Steel operates a mine-to-metal framework, leveraging captive resources and in-house processing capabilities to support its production chain. The company has established manufacturing facilities at Angul, Raigarh and Patratu, supported by a distribution network spanning domestic and international markets, including operations in Africa.
The company’s product portfolio serves key sectors such as infrastructure, construction and manufacturing, where demand for steel remains closely tied to economic growth and industrial expansion. The latest capacity addition is positioned to support these sectors by increasing domestic supply availability.
The expansion also aligns with national policy emphasis on strengthening domestic manufacturing capacity and reducing external dependence. By increasing production capability and improving efficiency, the company is expected to play a larger role in meeting India’s long-term steel demand.
With the Angul project now fully operational, Jindal Steel has consolidated its position among major integrated steel producers in the country, with capacity enhancement and infrastructure integration forming the core of its current growth trajectory.
