Raipur, – 30 September 2025: Jindal Steel has successfully commissioned its 250 MT Basic
Oxygen Furnace (BOF) Converter at the Angul integrated steel plant, adding 3 MTPA of crude
steelmaking capacity. With the first heat now tapped, the company’s total capacity at Angul has
risen from 6 MTPA to 9 MTPA—bringing Angul closer to its goal of achieving 12 MTPA within the current
financial year.
The synchronised commissioning of Blast Furnace 2 and BOF Converter marks a significant
milestone for India’s steel self-reliance. This integrated flow into downstream mills ensures steady
supplies of Indian-made steel for infrastructure, energy, Automotives, Oil & Gas and Real Estate
sectors.
“The new BOF is now running, and the first heat has been tapped. With this, Angul gains real muscle
in steelmaking. Every tonne we produce here strengthens India’s ability to rely on its own capacity,”
said Mr Naveen Jindal, Chairman, Jindal Steel.
