Jindal Steel has commissioned its first Continuous Galvanising Line at its Angul Integrated Steel Complex in Odisha. This marks a significant expansion in the company’s coated steel product offerings.
The new line will produce galvanised and galvalume products under the ‘Jindal Panther Galvanised’ and ‘Zinkalume’ brands, catering to various industries including appliances, automotive, infrastructure and construction.
In a statement, Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) said, the continuous galvanising line can process steel thicknesses ranging from 0.15 mm to 1.50 mm and widths from 700 mm to 1400 mm. This advanced setup ensures high precision and consistent quality for a variety of applications.
Jindal Panther Galvanised Products include full hard, soft and skin-passed galvanised steel, used in products like air conditioners, white goods, electrical panels, ducting systems, coolers, vehicle bodies, silos and storage boxes. These are also ideal as base material for pre-painted galvanised iron (PPGI).
The Zinkalume products include products coated with an aluminium + silicon + zinc alloy. These products are especially suited for refrigerator backs, solar structures, fuel tanks and pre-painted galvalume (PPGL) applications.
The line also offers thinner hot rolled galvanised coils for the tube industry, silos, tank farms and pre-engineered buildings, as well as high-strength galvanised steel for automotive underbody components.
“It reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, value-added steel products for diverse industry needs,” Naveen Jindal, Chairman of Jindal Steel, said.
Looking ahead, Jindal Steel is set to add another 6 mtpa crude steel capacity at the Angul plant this year, taking the total capacity to 12 mtpa by the end of 2025—making it one of the largest single-location steel plants in India.
