The expansion of JSW Steel's Dolvi Works plant from five million tpa to 10 million tpa is expected to be completed by the end of FY21. Located on the west coast of India at Dolvi in Maharashtra, Dolvi Works is JSW Steel's integrated steel plant.

The company is in process to double its capacity with an investment of about Rs 15,000 crore. The company received permission to restart activities towards the end of April 2020.

The expansion includes installing 4.5 million tpa blast furnace with supporting five million tpa Steel Melt Shop (SMS) and five million tpa Hot Strip Mill (HSM).

The plant will also have an eight million tpa pellet plant and four kilns of 600 tpd Lime Calcination Plants (LCPs), besides a captive power plant.

About 95 percent work related to the expansion is completed. With the expansion of the Dolvi Works, JSW Steel's total steelmaking capacity will reach to 23.1 million tpa from 18.1 million tpa at present.

Besides five million tpa Dolvi Works, JSW Steel owns and operates a 12 million tpa manufacturing facility at Vijayanagar in Karnataka, which is the largest single location steel-producing facility in India, and another one million tpa plant in Salem, Tamil Nadu.

The company, which is in expansion mode, has also proposed to set up 13.2 million tpa greenfield steel plant in Odisha, along with 900 MW power plant for captive usage with an investment amount of Rs 53,700 crore.
