Jatinder Mehra, widely regarded as a quiet powerhouse in India’s steel and metals sector, has passed away at 86 after a career spanning more than six decades.

Mehra played a key role in strengthening Essar’s steelmaking capabilities at Hazira and advancing integrated steel plans such as the Paradip project in Odisha. Earlier, he also held senior roles at Steel Authority of India (SAIL) and Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited, influencing some of the country’s biggest production hubs. Industry peers remember him for disciplined execution, mentorship, and a long-term view of capacity building—qualities that helped shape modern Indian steel.
