Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) is India’s largest stainless steel producer. The company is also a leading player in the stainless steel sector globally.
The company, founded by OP Jindal in 1970, deals in all kinds of stainless steel products, like stainless steel slabs, blooms, coils, plates, sheets, precision strips, blade steel, coin blanks and ferro alloys.
The company, founded as Jindal Strips Limited, started its operations with a mini steel plant in Hisar, Haryana. This steel plant laid the foundation for Jindal Stainless Limited and the diversified conglomerate OP Jindal Group.
In 1978, OP Jindal and PR Jindal introduced the Argon-Oxygen Decarburisation technique in India. This led to manufacturing India’s first indigenously produced stainless steel. The company has been deploying innovative and cost effective methods to meet all the global standards in stainless steel manufacturing.
In 1986, the company launched its initial public offering (IPO). The same year, JSL also acquired a steel manufacturing unit from Piramal Steels Limited, which became a part of JSW Steel Limited later.
In 1991, JSL tapped one of the biggest markets of stainless steel razor blades and became the sole manufacturer in India. In 2002, Jindal Strips underwent a restructuring and it was finally renamed as Jindal Stainless Limited. In 2004, the company also set up a 32 lakh tonnes stainless steel project in Odisha. In 2011, the company was selected to supply stainless steel to the prestigious International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.
In 2023, the Company acquired Rathi Super Steel and Jindal United Steel Limited. The Collaboration Agreement with New Yaking Pte Ltd made JSL the first Indian steel producer to invest in Nickel Pig Iron abroad (Indonesia).
Jindal Stainless Limited’s market capitalisation stood at over ₹50,000 crore as of January 12, 2024. JSL share price has surged nearly 600% in the last three years.
