Commenting on the development, Naveen Jindal, Chairman, JSP noted that it is privileged that the country’s largest TMT rebar mill is being dedicated to the nation. The Coal Gasification Plant (CGP)-based DRI plant at the integrated steel complex has been set up in line with the company’s focus on sustainable steel production, he added.
