John Cockerill India Limited has secured a contract worth Rs three billion (Rs 3 bn) from JSW Steel Coated Products Limited to design, manufacture and commission a Continuous galvanising line at the Khopoli facility. The assignment covers end-to-end execution including engineering, supply, erection and commissioning of the galvanising line and associated equipment under a pre-agreed technical scope. The engagement positions the company as a full-scope engineering contractor in India’s steel processing infrastructure segment.

Execution is scheduled for completion by May 2028 and the project represents a multi-year engagement that will provide medium-term revenue visibility. The contract was awarded by a domestic buyer and does not constitute a related-party transaction. The timeline and delivery obligations will require coordinated project management and on-site supervision during the erection and commissioning phases.

The award adds significant scale to the company’s order book in the metals processing sector and underscores growing demand for advanced galvanising infrastructure within India’s steel industry. By executing the full lifecycle of supply and implementation, John Cockerill India is deepening its role beyond equipment provision into integrated project delivery. Company filings indicated that the contract aligns with its engineering and technology capabilities for delivering complex industrial systems for steel manufacturers.

The deal is arm’s-length and the absence of promoter group interest in the awarding entity was highlighted in disclosures, reinforcing governance and transparency standards. The contract will support JSW Steel’s capacity upgrade plans and contributes to continued investment in technology-driven processing facilities in the country. The order is expected to add momentum to John Cockerill India’s commercial pipeline and to its execution workload over the coming years. The company will monitor progress through regular reporting and milestone reviews.
