Background

In 2009, JSPL had begun land acquisition for setting up a greenfield steel plant of 6 mtpa capacity in two phases of 3 mtpa each. Phase I of the project was expected to become operational by 2012.[1] The JSPL Jharkhand steel plant began operating in 2012 under the Jindal Steel and Power Ltd group.[2] The plant contains a 1 million tonne per annum (MTPA) bar rod mill and a 0.6 MTPA wire rod mill.[3] The 0.6 mtpa wire rod mill and 0.6 mtpa bar mill were commissioned in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The steel plant was expected to be fully operational by 2015.[4] The completion of the project was delayed due to land acquisition issues.[5] The plant in 2017 had a finished steel capacity of 1.6 mtpa.[6]

In 2020, the JSPL group announced it was looking to set up a 2-2.5 million tonnes steel plant at the Jharkhand facility .[7] However, according to JSPL's environmental clearance report, which they submitted in 2021, this number has since risen to 6 million tonnes. The expansion will also contain a captive coal power plant.[8] JSPL announced they would be investing Rs 20,000 crore into the expansion.[3][9][10]

As of February 2022, it appears that no environmental damages or accidents have occurred at the JSPL Jharkhand steel plant.
