New Delhi, 18 October 2024: Jindal (India) Limited, part of prestigious B.C. Jindal Group and one of the leading downstream steel products manufacturers in India, has emerged as a major player in coated steel products in West Bengal. Over the past few years, Jindal (India)Limited has experienced remarkable 20% growth rate due to increased demand for coated steel products in West Bengal. As a result, currently, 30% share of Jindal (India) Limited’s coated steel business comes from West Bengal, with high demand for its brands JindalSabrang and Jindal NeuColor +.

Jindal (India) Limited, founded in 1952, has been a significant contributor to West Bengal’s economic growth and development for the past seven decades. The company operates two state-of-the-art production facilities in close proximity to Kolkata, situated in Jangalpur and Ranihati. This presence has had a multifaceted positive impact on West Bengal’s economy, including boosting the state’s GDP through manufacturing and exports, fostering the growth of ancillary industries and generating substantial employment opportunities for the local population. Jindal (India) Limited recently announced a capex spend of over INR 1,500 Crore to effect a strategic capacity expansion of 0.6 Million MT.

In recent years, West Bengal has witnessed a thrust in infrastructure development in the areas of transportation, industrial parks and establishment of warehouse. Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this year laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects worth Rs 7,200 crore in West Bengal associated with sectors like rail, ports, oil pipeline, LPG supply etc. This has further led to a surge in demand for durable and corrosion-resistant steel products.

Sharing insights on the business growth, Jindal (India) Limited’s spokesperson said, “West Bengal is a key market for us and the growing demand for our coated steel products in the state reflects the trust and confidence our customers place in Jindal (India) Limited.
