Bengaluru Jindal Steel Becomes India’s Largest Heat Treatment Player With 60000 Tons
Jindal Steel Ltd. has become India’s largest heat treatment producer, scaling its monthly capacity to 60,000 tons. The company now processes high-end Furnace Normalised and Quenched & Tempered steel plates ranging from 6mm to 200mm in thickness and up to five metres wide. Leveraging advanced DUBONG technology for precise temperature control, this expansion positions Jindal Steel to reduce import dependency, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and supply premium steel products for infrastructure, defence, and industrial applications.
The upgraded facility allows production of high-strength Q&T steels exceeding 2,000 MPa, abrasion-resistant plates above 600 BHN, ballistic-grade defence materials, and specialised tool, die, and alloy steels. According to industry analysts, this technological leap is crucial for India’s growing industrial base, enabling manufacturers to meet stringent international standards while supporting sectors critical to urban development, such as energy, transport, and construction.S.K. Pradhan, Head of Flat Products at Jindal Steel, said, “Our expanded capacity equips Indian manufacturers to deliver world-class steel products that were previously imported. This supports domestic competitiveness and enhances India’s presence in global markets.” The facility demonstrates how advanced steel production can underpin resilient and sustainable infrastructure, a core requirement for modern cities aiming for net-zero targets.
Jindal Steel’s operations follow an integrated mine-to-metal model, combining captive resources, cutting-edge manufacturing processes, and a global distribution network. With a total investment exceeding USD 12 billion, the company operates advanced facilities in Angul, Raigarh, and Patratu, supplying high-performance steel for heavy machinery, industrial infrastructure, and defence applications. Experts note that access to locally produced premium steel reduces lead times, lowers carbon footprint, and strengthens the reliability of construction and industrial projects.The expansion also aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, highlighting how domestic production of critical industrial materials can support self-reliance while reducing dependence on imports. Urban planners and industrial developers can now leverage high-quality, heat-treated steel for projects ranging from energy-efficient buildings to climate-resilient transport networks and durable industrial facilities.
As India pursues sustainable urbanisation and advanced manufacturing, investments in steel processing capacity like Jindal Steel’s provide a strategic foundation for resilient, inclusive, and resource-efficient cities. By combining technological sophistication with domestic production scale, Bengaluru’s facility exemplifies how industrial expansion can support both economic growth and sustainable urban infrastructure development.
