Jindal Steel & Power Limited (JSPL) has a manufacturing facility in Patratu, Jharkhand, which is a significant steel production unit with a total finished steel capacity of 1.60 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The facility includes a Bar Rod Mill with 1 MTPA capacity and a Wire Rod Mill (WRM) of 0.6 MTPA capacity, along with a rebar service center. JSPL's presence in Patratu began when it took over the defunct Bihar Alloys and Steel Limited (BASL) assets in the area around 2007.
The Wire Rod Mill was commissioned in 2010, followed by the Bar Mill in 2011, and the rebar service center was established in 2012. This manufacturing plant uses state-of-the-art technology and produces superior quality products such as Wire Rods, TMT Rebars, Rounds, Angles, and ready-to-use products like Weld Mesh and Cut & Bend rebars. The company launched its retail brand of TMT Rebars under the name Jindal Panther, which are produced here using High Yield Quenching and Self-Tempering (HYQST) technology, certified under the Fe500S grade of BIS 1786, making them particularly strong and suitable for high seismic zones.
JSPL Patratu is also notable for having commissioned India’s largest Producer Gas Plant to fuel its furnaces. The plant has received international safety awards, reflecting its commitment to operational excellence and safety standards. The steel plant at Patratu initially aimed for a capacity expansion to 6 MTPA and continues to be an important part of JSPL's steel production and expansion plans in Jharkhand.
