Jindal Steel & Power has expanded its heat-treated plate capacity threefold to 7 lakh tonnes per year, positioning itself to meet rising demand from sectors including oil & gas, defence, large infrastructure and heavy engineering. 

Increased capacity was achieved through new furnaces and process optimisation, enabling the company to supply high-strength plates that adhere to stringent industry specifications. 

Management said the expansion will reduce import dependency and enhance competitive positioning in value-added steel segments. 

With higher throughput, the company expects improved sales momentum and deeper customer penetration.

Industry observers see this as a strategic move into higher-margin, speciality steel markets.
