History

1982-1994

The JSW Group was founded in 1982 when Jindal acquired a re-rolling mill located in Tarapur, Maharashtra, near Mumbai, from Piramal Steel. [5] Following the acquisition, the group renamed it Jindal Iron and Steel Company (JISCO). Subsequently, in the same year, the group established its first steel plant in Vasind, near Mumbai. [6]

1994-2005

In 1994, Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Limited (JVSL) was established in 1994. Situated at Toranagallu in the BellaryHospet region of Karnataka, this plant strategically positioned itself in the heart of the high–grade iron ore belt, sprawling across 3,700 acres of land. [7] In 2004, JSW made a strategic move by acquiring Salem Steel Works, adding to its portfolio. The year 2005 witnessed a pivotal moment in group's history when JISCO and JVSL merged to create JSW Steel. [8]

In 1994, JSW Energy Limited was established as power company, focusing on power generation, transmission and trading. [9]

In 1999, JSW Infrastructure was founded to construct and operate airports, shipyards, townships, roads and rail connectivity, inland waterways, water treatment plants, special economic zones and other infrastructural facilities. [10]

2008-2014

In 2008, JSW Group ventured into a rebar joint venture in Georgia. [11] The construction of an integrated steel plant at Dolvi, Maharashtra, in 1994 with the help of ESPIC Consultancy added to their steel production portfolio. And, the acquisition of Welspun Maxsteel in 2014 marked as a diversification in the group's history. [12]

In 2009, JSW Group entered the cement business by establishing JSW Cement and established production facilities in various locations including Vijaynagar, Nandyal (Andhra Pradesh), Dolvi, Jaipur, Shiva (Odhisha), Salboni (West Bengal), and Fujairah (United Arab Emirates). [13]

2018-2020

In 2018, JSW Group purchased Italy's Aferpi. [14] Also, investments were made in a greenfield Texas plant and the takeover of bankrupt Bhushan Power. In 2020, JSW's purchase of Bhushan Power faced legal challenges, but the group pressed on, acquiring stakes and expanding its presence. [15]

On 2 May 2019, JSW Group established JSW Paints with a total investment of 600 crore (US$75 million), with 250 crore of equity investment and a ₹350 crore debt investment from Axis Bank. [16] [17]

2021-2023

In 2021, JSW Steel Italy acquired a stake in GSI Lucchini and set a CO2 reduction target for 2030. [18] In 2022, they planned the merger of JISPL and CSSL subsidiaries and secured approval for a greenfield steel plant in Andhra Pradesh. [19] In 2013, the group entered into a collaboration with Japan's JFE Holdings in the electrical steel sector. [20] In December 2023, JSW Infrastructure announced plans to acquire a majority stake in PNP Port for ₹270 crore. [21]

Financials

The group witnessed growth, expanding from a company worth 93 crore (US$12 million) in 1993 to 12,700 crore (US$1.6 billion) crore in 2008, [5] and further expanding to become a company valued at 180,000 crore (US$23 billion) by 2023. [22] [23]
