Background

JSW acquired the Dolvi Works integrated steel plant in 2010, when the plant had a capacity of 3.3 mtpa.[1][2][3] The plant was the first one to adopt a combination of Conarc technology for steel making and compact strip production (CSP) for the manufacture of thin-gauge hot rolled coils.[1] Ore and coal for the steel plant are primarily shipped via the JSW Dharamtar Port.[4] The plant capacity was expanded from 3.3 to 5 mtpa in 2016-17.[2] JSW steel further expanded its capacity to 10 mtpa from 5 mtpa by addition of BF-BOF facilities at the plant by October 2021 and commenced commercial production in November 2021.[4][5] The expansion involved installation of a 4.5 mtpa blast furnace, a 5 mtpa steel melting shop, a 5 mtpa hot strip mill, and a 4 mtpa pellet plant.[6]

In March 2024, JSW Steel announced its plans to launch a new blast furnace at its Dolvi steel plant in Maharashtra with a production capacity of 4.5 million tons per year in 2026.[7] In May 2024, JSW Steel announced its forthcoming third phase of capacity expansion at its Dolvi plant which is poised to be one of the most economical brownfield expansions for the company. The company will invest slightly over INR 19,000 crore in this capacity augmentation project, primarily aimed at meeting the rising demand for value-added special steel products. JSW Steel announced plans to add another 5 million tonnes of capacity at its Dolvi plant in Maharashtra, bringing the total capacity to 15 million tonnes per annum by September 2027.[8]
