New Delhi: Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, has inaugurated its first stainless steel fabrication unit in Washivali, Patalganga, Mumbai, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Jindal Stainless Steelway Limited (JSSL). The 4 lakh square foot facility is designed to serve the bridge infrastructure sector, focusing on the fabrication of critical components such as girders, arches, nuts, bolts, and handles.
The unit was inaugurated by Jindal Stainless CEO & CFO Tarun Khulbe, alongside senior leadership members. Developed with an initial investment of ₹125 crore, the facility marks a strategic leap for the company, positioning it as both a leading stainless steel supplier and a provider of end-to-end fabrication solutions for India’s growing infrastructure needs.
By FY26-27, the unit is expected to scale its annual fabrication capacity to 18,000 tonnes, up from 4,000 tonnes in the current fiscal year. The expansion aims to meet rising demand for sustainable, high-quality bridge infrastructure across the country. In addition to boosting production, the facility will generate over 250 direct jobs and benefit more than 150 families indirectly. It will also function as a centre of excellence for skill development, training fabricators to meet future infrastructure challenges.
“This fabrication unit represents another step in our efforts to provide integrated solutions for customers,” said Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless. “Bridges are critical connectors, linking people, businesses, and economic activity. Our aim is to implement stronger end-to-end quality management to support India’s infrastructure growth.”
CEO & CFO Tarun Khulbe added, “Developing a trained fabricator ecosystem has long been a challenge. With this facility, we are bridging that gap by combining material excellence, skilled fabrication, and streamlined processes to deliver superior infrastructure solutions.”
Jindal Stainless has been a key supplier for landmark infrastructure projects across India. Unlike carbon steel, which is prone to corrosion and structural failure, stainless steel offers a lifespan of over 100 years with minimal maintenance, making it a safer and more sustainable choice for bridge construction.
The company also plans to expand fabrication capabilities to other regions in India. In alignment with its ESG goals, the Mumbai unit will be solar-power enabled in its next phase, further enhancing its sustainability profile
