JSP plans to leverage advanced technologies and sustainable practices in the new plant. This includes the use of green energy sources and innovative methods to reduce carbon emissions, aligning with global trends towards environmentally responsible manufacturing.

The establishment of this plant marks a major milestone in India's industrial landscape, setting a new benchmark for steel production worldwide.
