September 30, 2025, Angul — Jindal Steel has successfully commissioned its 250 MT Basic Oxygen Furnace Converter at the Angul integrated steel plant, adding 3 MTPA of crude steelmaking capacity and increasing total plant capacity from 6 MTPA to 9 MTPA.
With the first heat now tapped, the company moves closer to its goal of achieving 12 MTPA capacity at Angul within the current financial year. The synchronized commissioning of Blast Furnace 2 and BOF Converter marks a significant milestone for India’s steel self-reliance.
The integrated flow into downstream mills ensures steady supplies of Indian-made steel for infrastructure, energy, automotive, oil and gas, and real estate sectors across the country.
“The new BOF is now running, and the first heat has been tapped. With this, Angul gains real muscle in steelmaking. Every tonne we produce here strengthens India’s ability to rely on its own capacity,” said Naveen Jindal, Chairman, Jindal Steel.
The expansion strengthens Jindal Steel’s position as one of India’s foremost integrated steel producers. The company operates on a mine-to-metal model, leveraging captive resources and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
With an investment footprint exceeding $12 billion, Jindal Steel runs state-of-the-art facilities in Angul, Raigarh, and Patratu. The company maintains strategic operations across India and Africa with a global distribution network.
Jindal Steel’s diversified and future-ready product portfolio supports core sectors including infrastructure, construction, and manufacturing. The company focuses on delivering high-performance steel solutions through efficiency and commitment to excellence.
The new capacity addition at Angul reinforces India’s domestic steel production capabilities, reducing dependence on imports and supporting the country’s infrastructure development and industrial growth objectives.
