20 Mar 2020 Evaluate

Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) has bagged an iron ore block in the ongoing auctions in Odisha with reserves of about 200 million tonnes (MT). The iron ore block, Guali mine, is spread over 365 hectares in the Keonjhar district of the state. Other players that bid for the said block included JSW, Adani Group, KJS Ahluwalia among others. JSPL won Guali mine. The mine with iron ore reserves of 198 MT has been bagged at a premium of 144 per cent.

Securing iron ore linkages would help the company as JSPL looks to scale up its steel making capacity in India up to 8 MTPA (million tonne per annum) in financial year 2020-21, from about 6.5 MTPA estimated to be at the end of 2019-20 fiscal. The development will allow the company to remain self-sufficient of the key raw material iron ore for years now.

JSPL is one of India’s fastest growing and largest integrated steel manufacturers, significantly present in Steel, Power Generation and Infrastructure segments and catering to a large part of India's domestic energy and infrastructure requirement.
