The engineering firm claims that the proposed expansion will enhance its capability to manufacture wider narrow-width HR coils. The maximum coil width will increase from the current 9 inches (228.6 mm) to 11 inches (279.4 mm).

The company said its manufacturing process uses sponge iron and steel scrap as key raw materials. The use of scrap supports efficient utilisation of raw materials and forms an important part of the company’s approach towards recycling and more circular manufacturing.

According to the release, the planned expansion will double JTL Engineering Limited’s HR coil manufacturing capacity from the current 5,000 MT per month to 10,000 MT per month. The expanded facility is expected to be commissioned in Q4 FY27.
