Jindal Steel & Power Limited (JSPL) has commissioned its first Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL 1) at the Angul Integrated Steel Complex in Odisha. The facility enhances the company’s coated steel production capacity and will manufacture galvanised and galvalume products under its Panther Galvanised and ZINKALUME brands. These products are intended for use across sectors such as appliances, automotive, infrastructure, and construction.
CGL 1 is designed to process steel with thicknesses ranging from 0.15 mm to 1.50 mm and widths between 700 mm and 1,400 mm. The line will produce full hard, soft, and skin-passed galvanised steel for use in air conditioners, white goods, electrical panels, ducting systems, coolers, vehicle bodies, silos, and storage boxes. The output can also serve as base material for pre-painted galvanised iron (PPGI).
The ZINKALUME product line features an aluminium-zinc-silicon coating, suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance and thermal durability. These include refrigerator backs, solar structures, fuel tanks, and pre-painted galvalume (PPGL) products. The facility will also produce thinner hot-rolled (HR) galvanised coils (1.00–1.50 mm) for use in tube manufacturing, silos, tank farms, and pre-engineered buildings, as well as high-strength galvanised steel for automotive underbody components.
“The commissioning of our first galvanising line at the Angul Integrated Steel Complex is a proud milestone. It reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, value-added steel products for diverse industry needs. We are confident that Panther Galvanised and ZINKALUME will set new benchmarks in the market,” said Naveen Jindal, Chairman of Jindal Steel.
JSPL also plans to add 6 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of crude steel capacity at the Angul plant by the end of 2025, taking the total installed capacity to 12 MTPA.
