India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Japan’s JFE Steel has agreed to acquire a 50% stake in the steel business of Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd (BPSL), marking a significant expansion of Japanese participation in India’s fast-growing steel sector. The deal, routed through BPSL’s parent company, is aimed at strengthening technological capabilities and scaling high-grade steel production for automotive and engineering applications.
JFE Steel is already a long-term technology partner to several Indian mills and is known globally for its advanced automotive steel grades. By taking a direct ownership position, the company seeks to deepen its foothold in a market where demand for high-strength, value-added steels is rising sharply, driven by automobile manufacturing, infrastructure and machinery sectors.
For Bhushan’s steel operations, the partnership is expected to bring world-class process expertise, improved product quality and access to premium steelmaking technologies. The move also signals growing confidence among Japanese steelmakers in India’s long-term demand trajectory.
The acquisition aligns with India’s broader push for advanced steel capabilities and could pave the way for further collaborations in specialty and automotive steels. Regulatory approvals and final transaction formalities are expected to follow before the partnership becomes operational.
