Patratu

Carrying on with its plans of expansion, JSPL plans to invest US$ 12.00 billion (Rs. 55,000 crore) in the state of Jharkhand for establishing a steel plant of capacity 12 MTPA and a captive power plant with production capacity of 2820 MW in phases.

The company is setting up a 6.0 million TPA steel plant and a 1320 MW captive power plant (CPP) at Patratu, Dist. Dumka and it plans to set up a 6.0 MTPA steel plant and a 1320 MW CPP at Dist. Godda and about 180 MW power plant at Patratu at Asanboni based on process flue gases.

At Patratu, JSPL has taken over the assets of the closed Bihar Alloys & Steel Limited, which is about 40 Kms from Ranchi. Using the available land and adding some more, the company is setting up new steel and power plants. This endeavor would provide gainful employment to a large number of people and aid in the economic and infrastructure development of the area.
