The project is part of JSW Steel’s strategic expansion plans, which will increase the capacity of the existing steel mill by an impressive 3.7 million tons per annum (mtpa). Special highlight of the new BOF converter, one of the largest to be installed in India, includes an advanced oxygen lance system capable of a maximum blowing capacity of 1,250Nm3/min, which will significantly enhance the production efficiency of the plant. The facility will also be equipped with a cutting-edge automation system, which provides users with a complete view of the plant without the need to switch between various automation levels. Additionally, SMS will supply various process optimization models that integrate process control, production strategies, and metallurgical models, thus providing consistent quality and production reliability.

This order is a testament to the strong business relationship between JSW Steel and SMS and reinforces SMS group’s position as a technology leader and preferred supplier in the steel industry. In addition to the new steelmaking facilities, SMS secured separate orders in 2024 for a new 4.5-mtpa blast furnace and a first-of-its-kind “CSP Nexus”, an integrated casting and rolling mill that is capable of producing hot strip and plate with a maximum width of 2,600mm on a single plant.

The project also marks a significant milestone for JSW Steel, as it continues to lead the way in the steel industry with the support of SMS group’s trailblazing technology. Together with the new blast furnace and the “CSP Nexus” plant, this project will enable JSW to produce the highest-quality materials.
