JSW Steel’s Board has approved an expanded power purchase agreement (PPA) to procure renewable power for a total of 2,507 MW across its sites at Vijayanagar, Dolvi, Salem, and Anjar. Of the initial 1,637 MW commitment, 375 MW has already been commissioned, with an additional 580 MW expected to come online by March 2025.

The Board has now greenlit further renewable procurement, including a hybrid energy capacity of 600 MW (200 MW solar and 400 MW wind) at Dolvi, 60 MW at Salem, and 210 MW at JSW Steel Coated Products. These additional capacities are targeted for commissioning by FY27.

Meanwhile, at Vijayanagar, JSW Vijayanagar Metallics (JVML) has made progress with its 5 MTPA project, commissioning a hot strip mill in March 2024. The raw material handling system, sinter plant, and blast furnace are operational, with the steel melt shop in the commissioning phase, expected to ramp up by Q4 FY25.
