JTL Industries installs, implements DFT at Maharashtra facility

24 Mar 2025 Evaluate

JTL Industries (JTL) has successfully installed and implemented Direct Forming Technology (DFT) at its state-of-the-art facility in Mangaon, Maharashtra. This cutting-edge advancement marks a significant step forward in manufacturing high-precision-engineered steel tubes and hollow sections, enhancing efficiency, product quality, cost-effectiveness, and reduced material wastage.

DFT is a revolutionary approach to steel tube manufacturing that allows for the direct production of hollow sections in various sizes without the need for roll changes. This eliminates time-consuming setup adjustments, reduces material wastage, and enhances production speed.

The DFT setup enables JTL to manufacture square tubes measuring up to 350 x 350 mm and rectangular tubes up to 400 x 300 mm, with material thicknesses reaching 14 mm. This enhancement increases JTL’s SKU range from 1,200 to 2,000, meeting a broader market demand.

The new technology eliminates the need for roll changes and reduces downtime. This is expected to decrease downtime by 33% and contribute to a 25% reduction in downtime costs. The adoption of DFT will increase JTL’s VAP share to over 50% of its sales mix.

The Maharashtra facility, a vital production hub for the company, is now equipped to manufacture high strength and precision-engineered steel tubes and profiles with increased efficiency. This investment is anticipated to enhance productivity, meet the rising domestic and international demand, and further diversify the company’s product portfolio. 

JTL Industries is amongst the fastest growing steel tube manufacturers, with a Registered office located in Chandigarh. The company has manufacturing facilities in Punjab, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh.
