Origin & The Growth Story

The modern tubes and pipes industry in India owes it origin to the grand vision Shri B.C. Jindal. The seed was sown with the incorporation of Jindal (India) Limited on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti, 14 January 1952.

The Growth Story of Jindal India can be divided in five phases:

PHASE I ( SETTING UP OF BLACK AND GALVANIZED PIPE UNIT )

The company commenced operations in the district of Howrah, West Bengal, India, initially manufacturing pipe fittings, bends, sockets, etc. Subsequently, it expanded its operations to include the production of steel pipes and tubes, with an initial installed capacity of 5000 MTPA. During this period, the primary focus was on leveraging the country's natural resources by developing agriculture, mining, and iron and steel industries. Within a short time frame, the company gained a significant market share with its quality products, leading to a gradual increase in production capacity up to 160,000 MTPA. It has since become one of the largest manufacturing units of ERW/HFW Black and Galvanized Steel Tubes, ranging from ½" to 10", meeting both national and international standards, and holding ISO 9001-2008 accreditation.

PHASE II ( SETTING UP OF COLD ROLLED MILL(C.R MILL) AND CONTINOUS GALVANIZED LINE [CGL] UNIT

In 1993, the company diversified its activities by establishing a unit for manufacturing narrow-width Cold Rolled Strips with an installed capacity of 10,000 MTPA. With further expansion plans in the same field, the company inaugurated a state-of-the-art plant for producing wider-width Cold Rolled Strips and Galvanized Plain/Corrugated Sheets in 1998 at Jangalpur in the district of Howrah to meet domestic and international demand. The installed capacity for this plant was 40,000 MTPA. Gradually, their capacity increased to 350,000 MTPA. As part of this expansion plan, the company installed 2 modern 6 HI C.R. Mills and 2 Galvanizing lines of higher standards. Currently, the company's Cold Rolled and Galvanized Sheets are widely accepted and appreciated worldwide

PHASE III ( SETTING UP OF LINE PIPE UNIT )

In 2008, continuing our commitment to expansion and continuous growth, the company successfully established another unit for manufacturing Line Pipe, along with a Coating Plant capable of handling sizes up to 20" Outside Diameter, with a production capacity of 1,50,000 MTPA at Jangalpur. The machinery for this unit has been procured from Japan. Additionally, the company is licensed and authorized to use the API 5L and 5CT Monogram for its pipes used in the hydrocarbon sector.

PHASE IV ( SETTING UP OF ALUMINIUM FOIL MILL )

After establishing a strong foothold in the steel sector, the company expanded its horizon by venturing into the aluminum business as well. Aluminum foil rolling mills produce bare aluminum foil by rolling foil stock. Jindal India is the only unit in India capable of producing foil up to 6 microns. The company is currently in the process of installing another mill, which will enable it to produce aluminum foil down to 4 microns

PHASE V ( SETTING UP OF ALUMINIUM ZINC AND COLOR COATING UNIT)

In response to evolving product preferences, Jindal India commissioned an aluminium zinc coating line with an installed capacity of 225000 MTPA and two color coating line with an installed capacity of 432000 MTPA at Ranihati, Howrah, India. Within a short span, these products have been well-received across all geographies and industries. The lines were supplied by CMI, India, a leader in processing technology. Additionally, in this phase, we have added capacities to manufacture crash barrier rolled sections and poles.
