Jindal Stainless Doubles Slag Processing Capacity, Advancing Circular Production and Natural Resources Conservation

Jindal Stainless, India's largest stainless steel producer, is doubling its slag processing capacity with a new wet milling plant at its Jajour, Odisha, unit. This initiative will support the company's expanded capacity operations and long-term circularity goals by recovering metal from industrial waste and conserving natural resources. It will also create approximately 140 new jobs in the region. The company has partnered with Harsco Environmental, a global leader in providing innovative environmental solutions for the metal industry, for this initiative. The plant will cost USD 150 million and will operate under a 15-year partnership. Over the agreement period, this plant will pay back the equivalent value through metal recovery from Slag. This initiative forms an integral part of Jindal Stainless’ long-term Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals and its commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
