The company informed us that the completion of this expansion will enhance JTL’s total backward integration capacity, supporting the captive requirements of their Mandi Gobindgarh plant.

The JTL management team said, “The current expansion is an advanced enhancement of capabilities, considering it can produce billets from scrap metal. Expanding this new facility into our operations has significantly strengthened our backward integration capabilities. This expanded integration enhances our operational efficiency and will help us yield better margins while upholding our steadfast dedication to quality.”
