Jindal Steel Ltd (formerly Jindal Steel and Power Ltd) has significantly strengthened its manufacturing capabilities by expanding its heat treatment capacity to 60,000 ton per month, making it the largest heat treatment player in India.
With this expansion, the company now offers an extensive portfolio of Furnace Normalised (FN) and Quenched & Tempered (Q&T) steel plates. The upgraded facility is capable of processing plates ranging from 6 mm to 200 mm in thickness and widths of up to 5 m. To ensure consistent and superior metallurgical properties, Jindal Steel has installed advanced heat treatment technology from DUBONG, equipped with precision temperature control systems that enable uniform properties across the entire plate.
The enhanced capability positions Jindal Steel to manufacture high-end, value-added steel products that were earlier imported into the country. This development directly supports the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by reducing import dependence and strengthening domestic manufacturing in critical sectors.
The expanded product portfolio includes high-strength Q&T steels with strengths of 2,000 MPa and above, abrasion-resistant steels exceeding 600 BHN, defence-grade plates with guaranteed ballistic properties for armoured applications, and specialised tool, die, and alloy steels developed using critical simulation techniques.
Speaking on the expansion, S.K. Pradhan, Head-Flat Products, Jindal Steel, said:
“High-quality heat-treated plates manufactured by Jindal Steel are playing a pivotal role in strengthening India’s industrial competitiveness. This capacity expansion enables Indian manufacturers across sectors—such as infrastructure, engineering, energy, and heavy machinery—to produce world-class products that meet stringent global standards. Consequently, these premium plates are directly contributing to India’s growing export capabilities and global industrial presence.”
The capacity augmentation is expected to benefit a wide range of downstream industries, including infrastructure development, heavy engineering, energy, defence, and capital goods manufacturing, while reinforcing Jindal Steel’s position as a key contributor to India’s industrial and export growth.
