The JSW Steel Vijayanagar plant is the first integrated steel plant to reach 10 MTPA
capacity in a single location. It is the first in India to use the Corex technology for
hot metal production.
The first hot strip mill at Vijayanagar was commissioned in 1997. Since then it has
grown exponentially and now has an installed capacity to produce 10 MTPA of steel.
Located at a remote village Toranagallu part of under developed North Karnataka in
the Bellary- Hospet iron ore belt of Karnataka, the fully integrated steel plant, is
well-connected with both the Goa and Chennai ports.
Products: Slabs, billets, blooms, HR coils and sheets, Cold Rolled Close Annealed
(CRCA) coils and sheets, Galvanised products, Wire rods, Bar rods and Angles

Regarded as the
world’s Corex
showpiece; it was
the first Greenfield
project in India
and among the
first in the world to
have successfully
used this
technology to
produce “green
steel”
Houses India’s
largest blast
furnace and the
widest hot strip
mill
The only plant in
India with pair-
cross technology
and twin-stand
reversible cold-
rolling mill
The highest
productivity steel
plant in India,
producing 800-
plus tonnes per
person per annum
Recognised for its
‘zero-effluent
discharge’ status;
it reuses more
than 95 per cent
of process waste
Low carbon
footprint as it
recycles 96% of
coke oven gas for
power generation
Uses
sophisticated
ambient air control
infrastructure
beyond and has
reduced gas
flaring to lower
levels.

Corex is a smelting reduction process combining a melter
gasifier with a reduction shaft.
The process takes lump iron ore or pellets, non-coking
coal, and oxygen as main inputs.
Lump ore, sinter, pellets or mixture are charged into reduction
shaft, where they are reduced to direct reduced iron.

6. 6
Cost effective and environment friendly
It reduces specific investment cost as compared to blast
furnace
Elimination of coking plants thus saving space and cost
Integrated electric power generation is also done using this
technology
Highest operation flexibility

7. 7
A management approach to long term success through
customer satisfaction
All member of organisation participate in improving
quality of process, product, services and the culture in
which they work
It aims to radically transform the organization through
changes in attitude, practices and structure

8. 8
JSW Steel has received a global patent for introducing bottom
purging in the tundish
This improves dimensional stability and resistance to
erosion and corrosion
This gives temperature stability and resistance to thermal
shock
Tundish nozzle provides a reasonable for steady and smooth
flow of molten metal in casting operations.

As we know that steel is one of the key drivers of increasing India's GDP and its been
demonstrated that requirement of steel is increasing by 1.2 times of that of GDP. Thus, it forms
the backbone of developing economy . By introducing new technologies and use of technology
like corex and process like bottom purging in tundish, JSW Steel Vijayanagar is able to meet the
demand and if we have a glimpse of annual report of JSW steel. We will get to know that
production of JSW is increasing day by day with the increase in operations profit.
JSW Steel ranked 6TH Position among world class steel makers as per WSD in 2015 and JSW
STEEL recorded its highest ever gross turnover of `49,658 Cr. for the year 2015. JSW Steel is
leveraging resources and technology efficiently and innovatively to maximize returns.
