JSW Steel Ltd. (BSE: 500228, NSE: JSWSTEEL) is an Indian steel company owned
by the JSW Group based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. JSW Steel, after merger of
ISPAT steel, has become India's largest private sector steel company with an installed

As part of the US $18 billion O. P. Jindal Group, JSW Group has diversified interests in
steel, energy, minerals and mining, infrastructure, cement and information
technology. JSW's history can be traced back to 1982, when the Jindal Group acquired
Piramal Steel Limited, which operated a mini steel mill at Tarapur in Maharashtra and
renamed it as Jindal Iron and Steel Company (JISCO).
The Group set up its first steel plant in 1982 at Vasind near Mumbai. Soon after, it
acquired Piramal Steel Ltd., which operated a mini steel mill at Tarapur in
Maharashtra. The Jindals, who had wide experience in the steel industry, renamed it
as Jindal Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. (JISCO). Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Ltd. (JVSL) was set
up in 1994, with its plant located at Toranagallu in the Bellary-Hospet area of
Karnataka, the heart of the high-grade iron ore belt and spread over 3,700 acres of
land. It is just 340 km from Bangalore, and is well connected with both the Goa and
Chennai ports. In 2005, JISCO and JVSL merged to form JSW Steel Ltd.
JSW Steel has also formed a joint venture for setting up a steel plant in Georgia. The
Company has also tied up with JFE Steel Corp, Japan for manufacturing the high
grade automotive steel. The Company has also acquired mining assets in Chile, USA
and Mozambique.
