To be installed in Lassipora, Pulwama will add to the already existing capacity of 27 million tonnes.

Jindal told the media that this plant would render tremendous benefits to local businesses and society in a significant way and give employment opportunities to the local youth.

A team of two-three officials who are natives of Kashmir will be deployed at the plant, and then gradually, the team will be made.

Local hiring has also been already done for this plant, and presently, they are undergoing training at our Washim training centre.

By 2025, JSW Steel aims to generate 40 mt of steel yearly.
