JSW Steel, led by Sajjan Jindal, is projected to report a net profit of ₹1,661 crore as opposed to ₹3,741 crore during the same time previous year, mainly as a result of reduced realisation. The top line would drop to ₹44,676 crore (₹46,346 crore). According to the company's statement last month, consolidated crude steel production jumped 3% year over year to 6.79 million tonnes (MT) in Q4.

The company logged its highest ever annual crude steel production of 26.43 MT in FY'24, an increase of 9% as against FY23. The company has mentioned on ambitious greenfield project to establish an integrated steel plant of 13 mtpa capacity. The company has laid the foundation stone for building the steel plant after the Industrial Development Corporation of Odisha handed over 2,958 acres to it recently.

Proposed in 2018, the Odisha government handed over JSW Steel the land it had acquired originally for a 12 mtpa steel project proposed by POSCO. JSW Steel already owns two captive and merchant iron ore mines in Odisha and is in the process of setting up a pellet plant. The iron ore mined in Odisha are used in the company’s steel plants at Dolvi in Maharashtra and Vijayanagar in Karnataka. So far, JSW Group has invested about ₹35,000 crore in Odisha and is expected to invest another ₹1.25-lakh crore.
