Jindal Steel on Thursday said it has expanded its heat treatment capacity to 60,000 tonnes per month, tripling it from 20,000 tonnes and making the company the largest player in the segment in India. Heat treatment involves processing steel to modify properties such as hardness, toughness and strength to meet specialised application requirements.

The company said the expanded capacity will cater to rising demand from sectors including infrastructure, engineering, energy and heavy machinery. With the scale-up, Jindal Steel now offers an extensive range of furnace normalised and quenched and tempered products.

According to S K Pradhan, Head of Flat Products at Jindal Steel, the facility is capable of processing steel plates with thicknesses ranging from 6 mm to 200 mm and widths of up to 5 metres. He said the technological upgrade enables the company to manufacture high-end steel products that were previously imported, directly supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

Jindal Steel operates two integrated steel plants at Angul in Odisha and Raigarh in Chhattisgarh, with a combined capacity of 12.6 million tonnes. The company plans to increase its overall capacity to 15.6 million tonnes by FY26.
