With this, the company’s total melting capacity has increased to 4.2 MTPA, including 3 MTPA in India. Complementing this, Jindal Stainless is set to commission a 1.1 MTPA Hot Rolled Annealed Pickled (HRAP) line by Q4FY27 and 0.17 MTPA cold rolling capacity by Q2FY27 at its Jajpur, Odisha facility, as part of its earlier announced Rs 1,900 crore investment.

The company has also earmarked an additional Rs 900 crore to expand cold rolling capacities at its Hisar and Kharagpur plants, expected to be commissioned by Q2FY28. These expansions will support production of thinner cold rolled products catering to high-growth sectors.

Following the capacity additions, Jindal Stainless aims to increase its cold rolling capacity from 2.05 MTPA in FY26 to 2.67 MTPA by FY28, with downstream facilities accounting for 64% of total melt capacity. The company is targeting sales volumes of around 3.5 MTPA by FY29, implying a double-digit CAGR over the next three years.
