CISF to guard JSW Steel plant in coastal Maharashtra

JSW Steel's Dolvi Works plant in Maharashtra has received security support from Central Industrial Security Forces (CISF), making it only the thirteenth industrial house in the country to receive this cover.

JSW Dolvi Works houses a 10-million-tonne-per-annum steel mill along with allied facilities and a 4-million-tonne-per-annum cement manufacturing plant.

CISF protects India’s vital assets such as space establishments, seaports, airports, department of atomic energy, Delhi Metro Railway Corporation, government offices in Delhi and also provides VIP security. It presently guards over 350 establishments across the country.


The JSW Group acquired the Dolvi plant in 2010 and has since invested in setting up cement and port operations there.

Gajraj Singh Rathore, Chief Operations Officer, JSW Steel said given the significance of the industrial facility and investments made, it was deemed necessary to have enhanced protection from various security risks.
