The revised expansion plan focuses on increasing capacity for automotive-grade galvanised steel, advanced corrosion-resistant coated products and tinplate, reinforcing the company&#8217;s strategy of increasing the share of value-added flat steel products in its portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Vijayanagar expansion targets automotive steel demand:<\/p>\n<p>The company has increased the planned capacity of its automotive continuous galvanising line (CGL) at Vijayanagar to 500,000 tonnes (t) per year from the previously announced 400,000 t\/year.<\/p>\n<p>The facility will manufacture 1,480 MPa ultra-high-strength galvanised steel for automotive applications, catering to growing demand from passenger vehicles, electric vehicles, and advanced mobility solutions.<\/p>\n<p>While equipment has already been ordered, the commissioning timeline has been revised to the July-September quarter of 2028, compared with the earlier target of June 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Kopoli expansion focuses on premium coated products:<\/p>\n<p>JSW Steel has also revised the downstream expansion programme at its Kopoli works.<\/p>\n<p>The second continuous galvanising line (CGL), primarily serving the building materials segment, will be commissioned as originally planned. However, the third CGL will be equipped with a zero-spangle galvanising line for producing zinc-aluminium-magnesium (Zn-Al-Mg) coated steel, a premium corrosion-resistant product used across automotive, infrastructure, solar and appliance applications.<\/p>\n<p>Following the revision, the planned coated steel capacity addition at Kopoli has increased to 960,000 t\/year, compared with the earlier planned 860,000 t\/year.<\/p>\n<p>Rajpura to add coated steel, tinplate capacity:<\/p>\n<p>At its Rajpura plant in Punjab, JSW Steel has increased the planned CGL capacity to 600,000 t\/year from 360,000 t\/year.<\/p>\n<p>The company will also install a 200,000-t\/year tinplate line, strengthening its presence in packaging steel. Equipment orders for both facilities have already been placed, with commissioning scheduled during FY&#8217;28.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>The revised investment plan underscores JSW Steel&#8217;s continued focus on expanding its downstream value-added portfolio alongside upstream crude steel capacity. Higher capacities for automotive-grade galvanised steel, Zn-Al-Mg coated products, and tinplate are expected to improve the company&#8217;s product mix while addressing rising demand from the automotive, construction, renewable energy, appliance and packaging sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion also reflects the growing emphasis among integrated steel producers on increasing downstream processing capabilities, enabling higher realisations and reducing dependence on commodity-grade flat steel products.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This article is published as part of a content exchange agreement between Japan Metal Daily and BigMint.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INR 23 billion investment approved across Vijayanagar, Kopoli, Rajpura Automotive continuous galvanising line at Vijayanagar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4.jpg?v=1784723009",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-150x150.jpg?v=1784723009",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-300x169.jpg?v=1784723009",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-768x432.jpg?v=1784723009",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1784723009",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4.jpg?v=1784723009",1280,720,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4.jpg?v=1784723009",1280,720,false],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-1115x715.jpg?v=1784723009",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-800x500.jpg?v=1784723009",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1784723009",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-540x340.jpg?v=1784723009",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4-400x250.jpg?v=1784723009",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp; Steel<\/a>","tag_info":"Iron &amp; Steel","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-18-4.jpg?v=1784723009","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73268"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73270,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73268\/revisions\/73270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/73269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
