Background
The JSW Steel Bengal steel plant was first proposed in 2007. JSW Steel planned to build the 10,000 ttpa plant and a nearby 1,600 MW captive power plant for a Rs 35,000 crore investment. It was delayed after disputes with the local government over the land acquisition (the plant would take 4,300 acres of land).[1]
In 2013, JSW Steel announced they would put the Bengal project on hold after they were unable to secure a long term iron ore supply agreement or a captive iron ore mine.[1]
In 2014, JSW Steel announced they had 'given up' on the project due to the above issues, as well as general concern over the financial viability of the plant.[2]
JSW owns a cement plant and a captive power plant at the site. In February 2023, JSW initiated the process to earmark a portion of the land to be returned to the Bengal state government after the government indicated its willingness to take it back.[3][4] As of September 2023, JSW Group plans to develop an industrial park at the land to attract domestic and international investors.[5][6] In September 2023, former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly announced his plans to set up an steel plant on the land given to JSW group.[7][8]
According to the company's FY25 annual report, the JSW Bengal Steel Salboni project was put on hold due to uncertainties in the availability of key raw materials such as iron ore and coal, after the cancellation of the allotted coal blocks.[9]
