JSW Steel is expanding its portfolio of iron ore and coking coal assets to secure long-term raw material supply and reduce dependency on imports, as part of its broader strategy to support capacity expansion and cost efficiency.

The company is actively pursuing new mining leases for iron ore in India and exploring strategic overseas acquisitions for coking coal, particularly in regions like Mozambique and Australia. These assets will feed JSW’s growing domestic operations, including its upcoming 13.2 MTPA greenfield steel plant in Odisha.

Officials said the move is aimed at improving self-sufficiency, supply stability, and cost competitiveness, as raw material volatility continues to impact global steel producers.

JSW currently meets around 40% of its iron ore requirement from captive sources and plans to increase that share significantly over the next few years.

Industry experts note that this resource-backed approach will not only enhance JSW’s margins but also support India’s vision of achieving 300 MTPA steel production capacity by 2030, while promoting sustainable and integrated growth across the steel value chain.
