Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shyam Sunder Jindal, Promoter, BC Jindal Group, said, “The commissioning of this state-of-the-art advanced metal coating line reflects our long-term vision to build a strong, technology-led downstream steel platform in India. Investments in advanced manufacturing capabilities enable us to enhance product quality, expand our value-added offerings, and align our growth with India’s rapidly evolving infrastructure and manufacturing needs.”
In FY25, BC Jindal Group, led by Shyam Sunder Jindal, Promoter, BC Jindal Group, announced an investment of 1,500 crore for the expansion of its downstream steel capacity at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in West Bengal.

A significant portion of the company’s revenue has been driven by the eastern region, followed by South India. However, over the years, the company has adopted a pan-India strategy, expanding into North and West India through increased capacity growth. Currently, contributions from these two regions constitute approximately 20% of its revenue, and the company aims to increase this to 30% in the near future. Jindal (India) Limited sees immense potential in these regions due to the rapid growth in infrastructure development and industrial projects.
