Strategic growth

We aim to continue our leadership in the domestic steel sector with enhanced capacities that align with the needs of tomorrow. Our growth is fuelled by organic capacity expansion programmes and value-accretive acquisitions.

quotes
We are embarking on a low-risk, value-accretive capacity expansion programme, on the back of our proven ability to execute on budget and timeframe. The foundations we have built at all our major sites are being leveraged to create scale and competitive advantage, that will ensure sustainable growth in the future.

    KPIs

  • 23 MTPA Total installed capacity (JSW Steel Group)
  • 6.7 MTPA Total coated capacity
  • Capex programme

    We are now well positioned to address the demand upcycle in India and overseas with higher margins on the strength of our capacity doubling at Dolvi, strategic acquisitions, expanded downstream capacities, cost optimisation and digitalisation focus. Our next growth phase will include brownfield expansion at our flagship facility in Vijayanagar, with digitalisation, technology centricity and integration driving value.

    Value-accretive 5 MTPA brownfield project at Vijayanagar

    Through this project, we plan to set up 5 MTPA steelmaking capacity at at Vijayanagar through a wholly owned subsidiary, JSW Vijayanagar Metallics Limited. The total project cost is estimated to be `15,000 crore, with a fairly low capex of ~US$400/tonne.

    We expect to leverage the existing facilities at Vijayanagar to support the project and utilise surplus pellets, sinter, coke making facilities at existing operations to meet the key raw material requirements of the project.

    This new capacity along with the ongoing expansions at Vijayanagar would take the steelmaking capacity to 19.5 MTPA by FY 2023-24.

    Feature Story

    Exploring Eastern India, brimming with potential

    Eastern India is a rich reservoir of natural resources and has been fast emerging as an attractive market with high growth potential. Thoughtful government programmes, steadily improving business scenario, building of critical infrastructure assets, and growing consumption trends have acted as fodder for progress in the region. JSW Steel’s newly acquired mines in Odisha marks our foray into Eastern markets, expanding footprint from South and West India, our traditional strongholds.

    We have drawn a strategic way forward for the eastern sector and will make investments to the tune of `1 lakh crore in Odisha over the next 10 years. Our close collaboration with the state government will unlock the full potential of the region's rich mineral endowment, surplus power and natural advantage in terms of ports. In line with the National Steel Policy, these efforts from us will boost Mission Purvodaya, which aims to transform Odisha into an integrated steel hub, bringing holistic advancements and socioeconomic growth for the people of Odisha.

    The region complements our long-term ambitions and we plan to consolidate our position in the region through organic (greenfield and brownfield) and inorganic routes. The key projects planned in Odisha include a 13.2 MTPA greenfield steel plant in Jagatsinghpur district, along with a 900 MW captive power plant. This greenfield steel plant, along with the plan for setting of the cement plants and an all-weather multi-cargo jetty, is expected to derive the benefits of forward integration and logistics synergies.
