Chinese steelmaker Jingdong Steel’s $500 million steel project in Algeria has reached 60% completion in just eight months, marking a major step in the country’s push to expand downstream steel manufacturing.
Located on a 36-hectare site in the Dhraâ El Hadja industrial zone in M’sila province, the facility is being developed in two phases. It will include a steel sheet production line with 200,000 tonnes of annual capacity and a steel pipe line capable of producing 300,000 tonnes per year—taking total planned output to 500,000 tonnes annually.
Around half of the plant’s production is expected to be directed to export markets, positioning the site as a potential North African hub for flat steel and pipe products used across construction and infrastructure.The project is also aligned with Algeria’s resource strategy, with planned supply linkages to locally sourced iron ore as the Gara Djebilet mine ramps up operations—supporting greater domestic value addition and industrial integration.
