Naveen Jindal, Chairman of Jindal Steel, outlined the company’s deepening footprint in Oman, positioning the country as a strategic hub in its global expansion journey. He highlighted that Jindal Steel has already invested more than $3 billion in Oman, reflecting long-term confidence in the region’s industrial and economic potential.
At present, the company’s operations in Oman produce approximately 3.25 million tonnes of steel annually, serving both regional and international markets. Building on this foundation, Jindal Steel is planning a significant capacity expansion that will effectively double its current output. These plans are aligned with Oman’s broader vision for industrial growth and value-added manufacturing.
A key focus of the expansion is the transition towards green steel. Jindal emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainable production by adopting cleaner technologies, improving energy efficiency, and exploring low-carbon processes. The green steel initiatives are designed to reduce environmental impact while ensuring global competitiveness in an industry under increasing pressure to decarbonise.
According to Jindal, Oman’s stable policy environment, strong infrastructure, and access to global shipping routes make it an ideal base for future-ready steel manufacturing. The ongoing investments underscore Jindal Steel’s intent to not only scale production but also contribute meaningfully to sustainable industrial development in the region.
