Jindal India, a prominent player in the downstream steel sector, announced plans to invest Rs 1,500 crore to boost its annual production capacity to 1.6 million tonnes. The expansion will focus on manufacturing coated flat products, pipes, and crash barriers, according to a company statement.

The company stated, "Jindal India announces a capex spend of over ₹1,500 crore to effect a strategic capacity expansion of 0.6 million MT, representing a 60% increase from its current capacity of 1 million metric tonnes per annum." The expansion is expected to be completed by the financial year 2025-26, with production slated to begin in the current fiscal year.
