Infrastructure connects people, powers industries, and drives economic growth. Roads, bridges, airports, and power plants have become more than structures as they shape progress. At the core of these developments lies high-quality steel. As India moves towards a $5 trillion economy, infrastructure remains a key driver of this transformation, with an estimated ₹143 lakh crore set to be invested in the sector between 2024 and 2030.
At JSW Steel, we take immense pride in being a key player in this change. Our steel is a commitment to building a stronger India. From high-rise buildings to transport corridors, our products ensure that modern construction is durable and sustainable.
Meeting the Needs of a Growing Nation
With rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, India's infrastructure needs are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Be it an expansion of metro networks or the construction of highways, the demand for high-quality steel has never been higher.
Take, for example, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, one of India's most ambitious sea bridges. Such mega-projects require steel that can withstand extreme weather conditions and heavy loads. Our TMT rods have been significant to various infrastructure projects, offering superior strength and seismic resistance. Similarly, our corrugated sheets are widely used in roofing and warehousing, providing structural reliability while also being cost-effective.
Sustainability in Infrastructure
India's infrastructure growth is about both expansion and sustainability. With nearly ₹36.6 lakh crore earmarked for green investments, the focus is on eco-friendly construction materials. We've embraced this shift by pioneering steel slag in road construction. This innovation reduces waste and strengthens roads, making them more durable.
Our steel plants also adopt cleaner technologies, reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency. By investing in electric arc furnaces and green hydrogen-based steelmaking, we're ensuring that the future of infrastructure is both strong and sustainable.
Expanding Our Footprint for the Future
With India's infrastructure sector set to witness exponential growth, we're ramping up our production capabilities. Our collaboration with South Korea's POSCO for a steel plant in Odisha is a step in that direction, with an initial capacity of 5 million metric tons per year. This will further strengthen India's ability to meet the surging demand for high-quality steel in infrastructure projects.
Moreover, our investment of ₹3 trillion in Maharashtra spans electric vehicles, battery storage, and green energy solutions. These developments will not only boost the steel industry but also contribute to India's transition towards cleaner and smarter infrastructure.
Building Tomorrow, Today
We see ourselves as manufacturers and enablers of India's growth story. Our steel is in the bridges that connect cities, the highways that move goods, and the buildings that shape skylines. As India builds for the future, we remain committed to providing the strength, innovation, and sustainability needed to drive this journey forward.
Infrastructure goes beyond construction; it paves the way for growth, innovation, and new opportunities. And at JSW Steel, we're proud to be at the heart of it.
