JSW, Japan's JFE to invest ₹5,845 cr in India to scale up steel production
JSW and Japan's JFE Steel to jointly invest ₹5,845 crore to boost cold rolled grain-oriented steel output in Nashik and Vijayanagar amid rising demand for energy-efficient materials JSW Steel and Japan's JFE Steel plan to invest ₹5,845 crore (around $669 million) to scale up production of cold rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) electrical steel at two of their Indian plants, news agency Reuters reported. This move is aimed at meeting rising domestic demand for energy-efficient steel used mainly in transformers and other power applications. Plant-wise expansion plans •Nashik plant: JSW-JFE Steel will raise production at its Nashik facility from 50,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) to 250,000 TPA. This will involve an investment of ₹4,300 crore. •Vijayanagar plant: Another ₹1,545 crore will be spent to boost capacity at the upcoming Vijayanagar facility from 62,000 TPA to 100,000 TPA. •Funding structure: Why it matters: Green steel for cleaner energy CRGO electrical steel is known for its high energy efficiency, which reduces transmission losses and carbon emissions. The increased domestic capacity could reduce India's reliance on imports for this critical material used in the power sector. The new capacity will be added in phases, starting from FY28. Nashik unit bought from Thyssenkrupp Earlier this year, JSW JFE had acquired the Nashik plant from Germany's Thyssenkrupp in a ₹4,159 crore deal. The plant forms the backbone of the joint venture's expansion strategy. SC withdraws Bhushan Power liquidation order In a major relief to JSW Steel, the Supreme Court last week withdrew its May 2 ruling that had declared JSW's resolution plan for Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL) 'illegal' and ordered liquidation. A Bench headed by Chief Justice BR Gavai has now agreed to review the ruling and will hear arguments on August 7. JSW Energy's subsidiary, JSW Neo Energy, has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), news agency PTI reported. •The agreement is for 230 MW of firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) under SECI's Tranche IV scheme. •The tariff has been fixed at ₹4.98 per kWh. This is the company's first FDRE PPA, and strengthens its total locked-in capacity to 30.2 GW, including 12.9 GW under construction. JSW aims to reach 30 GW installed capacity and 40 GWh energy storage by 2030.

Metal index soars nearly 3% led by JSPL, SAIL, Tata Steel; here's why
Nifty Metal index today Shares of metal companies mainly steel were in demand as the Nifty Metal index surged nearly 3 per cent on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Monday's intra-day trade on hopes of improvement in earnings, and further increase in capex. At 12:37 PM; Nifty Metal index, the top gainer among sectoral indices, was up 2.6 per cent, as compared to 0.57 per cent rise in Nifty 50. Tata Steel, Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) and Steel Authority of India (SAIL) rallied 4 per cent on the NSE. NMDC, Jindal Stainless (JSL), JSW Steel, Hindalco Industries, Vedanta and National Aluminium Company were up in the range of 2 per cent to 3 per cent. What's driving steel companies' share price today? Domestic steel demand is growing at a rapid pace, over 8 per cent annually. This demand is driven by infrastructure projects, affordable housing, railways, ports, highways, growth in automotive, defense and renewable energy sectors. As of mid-2025, the global steel market is growing slowly with total demand expected to rise by just 1.7 per cent globally according to the World Steel Association (WSA). 'The Indian government's multipronged strategy aims to counter global disruptions with domestic strength. Capex is the growth engine for our country, and we are expecting capex to increase further. It will result in sustaining long-term growth, promoting infrastructure-led investment and job creation in the country,' SAIL, the state-owned company, said in the Q1FY26 earnings conference call. Foreign trade push, the recently signaled India-UK FTA is expected to unlock opportunities for start-up companies, manufacturing and services exports without compromising India's strategic interest. However, rising imports means steel imports surged over 24 per cent in 2025, especially from China, Vietnam and Japan, creating price pressure on domestic producers; however, imports in Q1FY26 of this year are under control. The prices of steel have also been operating in a narrow band, but with the prices stabilizing in the past 1 or 2 weeks right now. There are hopes for improvement in the next quarters, which has traditionally remained the strongest for steel producers, SAIL said. Meanwhile, broader global growth concerns are likely to weigh on commodity prices, in general. Financial markets remain vulnerable to potential risk-aversion episodes in this macro backdrop, besides continuing geopolitical risks. However, in case of a significant dilution in trade frictions through trade deals resulting out of the ongoing bilateral negotiations by the US administration, the global economic outlook could get re-rated upwards, JSW Steel said in its FY25 annual report. CRISIL (March 2025 forecast) has projected India's steel consumption growth to remain robust at 9-10 per cent in FY 2025-26 with flat steel products (projected growth of 12-14 per cent) leading the demand growth, in comparison to long steel products (projected growth of 5.5-7.5 per cent). While India's domestic steel demand growth scenario continues to be robust, trade-related developments need to be watched, the company said. ICICI Securities view on Tata Steel, Vedanta Analysts at ICICI Securities hold a positive view on Tata Steel supported by strategic capacity expansion in India and multiple profitability improvement levers across Indian and Europe operations, driven by ongoing cost optimization. The brokerage firm has BUY rating on Tata Steel with a target price of ₹200 per share. With healthy capacity expansion across divisions, market leadership in the aluminium and zinc segments, controlled leverage on balance sheet, return ratios >20 per cent & attractive dividend yield of ~9 per cent, analysts at ICICI Securities retained BUY rating on Vedanta with SOTP based revised target price of ₹530.
