Manufacturing Facilities

Vijayanagar Works

The Vijayanagar plant of JSW Steel is the first integrated steel plant to reach 10 MTPA capacity at a single location in India. It is the first plant in India to use the Corex technology for hot metal production.

The first Hot Strip Mill at Vijayanagar was commissioned in 1997. Since then it has grown exponentially and now has an installed capacity to produce 10 MTPA of steel. Located 380 kms from Bangalore in Toranagallu, North Karnataka - a part of the, Bellary-Hospet iron ore belt - it is a fully integrated steel plant well-connected with both Goa and Chennai ports.

Vasind Works

Vasind works is located 70 kms from Mumbai. It is India's largest single location Coated Steel manufacturing set up and a full fledged complex with Cold Rolling, Galvanising and Colour Coating facilities. Vasind works has India's first appliance grade Colour Coating line, the grades of this line are approved by major white good manufacturers. It sources HR steel from Dolvi & Vijayanagar works to manufacture value added steel products.

Manufacturing Process

JSW Magsure is a superior corrosion coating containing Zinc, Magnesium and Aluminium in specific ratio applied on the steel surface through controlled Galvanizing process. The stable corrosion product formed during coating of JSW Magsure stays on the surface of the metal in a film-like form thus acts as a corrosion inhibitor for the base metal. The unique inter metallic compounds formed helps in improving the overall corrosion resistance of the product.

The unique coating composition of JSW Magsure combined with careful selection of process parameters during Galvanizing promotes development of dense and stable compounds thus offer higher scratch resistance, chemical resitance and better cut-edge protection than conventional GI products, thus making it a preferred choice for applications that demand high corrosion protection.
