JSPL’s Largest and Greenest Steel Plant in Odisha

Jindal Steel & Power Limited (JSPL) Chairman, Naveen Jindal issued a statement saying they would develop its Odisha plant into the largest and greenest facility in the world.

He said JSPL has secured sufficient reserves of coal to enable the mega steel company
to enhance its capacity for green steel making.

Jindal claimed that JSPL is the first steelmaker in the world to build Coal Gasification
to produce steel using clean coal technologies.  The High-Level Clearance Authority of Odisha, headed by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, had approved JSPL's proposal to expand the capacity of its steel plant to 25.2 MTPA at Angul by 2030. This would be the world's largest and greenest single-location steel plant, thus pitching Odisha's USP
on the global steel map.

The capacity expansion is expected to increase JSPL's investment in Odisha to more than ₹1,25,000 crore from ₹45,000 crore at present. This is also expected to generate enormous economic activity and employment opportunities in the state.
