Background

The JSW Steel Jharkhand steel plant was proposed by the JSW Steel group in 2005.[1] JSW Steel will invest ₹ 35,000 crore into the project, which is estimated to create 30,000 jobs.[2] The plant will be fuelled by a 900MW captive power plant.[2] JSW Steel also envisioned setting up a township spread across over 3,800 acres in seven villages near the Sonahatu block in the Ranchi district for employees.[2] The first phase of the proposed plant is expected to install a crude steel capacity of 5 mtpa.[3][4]

In November 2005, JSW Steel signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government of Jharkhand (GoJ) regarding the project.[1]

In 2008, after a site assessment and third-party feasibility report, the Government of Jharkhand approved the project.[1]

In 2014, a public hearing was conducted by the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB).[1]

In March 2015, JSW applied for the grant of Environmental Clearance (EC) along with the final Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report.[1]

In 2016, JSW Steel obtained the environmental clearance for a plant in Jharkhand.[2]

According to the OECD's 2020 steelmaking report, the JSW Steel Group is currently still in the "process of obtaining approvals and clearances necessary for the project."[5] Another source verifies that the project is still under discussion as of 2020; according to this source, the plant will be operational 2-3 years after construction begins.[6]

As of March 2021, land purchase and various approvals with regard to water, railway siding and environment were in process.[7]

No further updates on the project as of November 2024.
