In today's era of fierce global competition, and rapid technological advances, an organization has to move twice as fast just to keep pace with the changing world and four times as fast if it has to speed ahead. At Jindal Steel and Power Ltd, we are in the process of achieving just that.

At Raigarh, we have the world's largest coal based sponge iron manufacturing plant. JSPL is the only sponge iron producer in the country with its own raw material source and power generation making it one of the most cost effective producers of sponge iron in the country. We have taken yet another major step in putting India and Raigarh on the world steel map. A state of the art Rail and Universal Beam Mill has been set up, to manufacture the world's longest rails 120 mts long for the Indian Railways and global markets. We are also the pioneers when it comes to manufacturing H-beams & Columns in larger sizes for the infrastructure and construction sectors.

We are equally aware of our sense of duty as corporate citizens and the determined pursuit of business opportunity and global markets. In fact, our vision is to develop the backward and underdeveloped regions of India. Our facilities at Raigarh and Raipur fall under the newly formed state of Chattisgarh. We have been and will continue to stand committed to the progress of the state and it's people.

At JSPL, we recognize that environmental protection is an integral part of the company's activities. We are committed to conducting our business safely, ethically and in an environmentally responsible manner that protects the natural resources and the environment in which we live. Our environment-friendly initiatives have been recognised and rewarded too.

Our philosophy of moving up the value chain by increasing our portfolio of value added products continues. A zeal to be ahead of others, to venture where few dared has propelled us into ever increasing orbits of growth. The sectors we have chosen to operate mean that we will be serving key national priorities, even as we build profitable businesses and create wealth for our shareholders. The unstinted support over the years from our investors, our clients, business associates and well-wishers, has been a great asset and we hope to continue to have them with us as we grow from strength to strength.
