Therefore, to improve the Quality of life of the local people, JSPL in partnership with various Agencies has been implementing a number of sustainable community development projects in the areas of Health, Education, Sanitation, and Livelihood.

With socially responsible industrialization, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL) has triggered socio-economic development around its project areas. The Company is setting up a 6.0 MTPA integrated steel plant and captive power plant at Angul. The major plant facilities in the integrated steel complex will include a Sinter Plant, a Pellet Plant, a Coke Oven & By-Product Plant, a Coal Based Reduction Gas Facility, a DRI Plant, a Blast Furnace, a Steel Melting Shop, a Slab Caster, Plate Mill, a Hot Strip Mill, an Oxygen Plant, a Coal Washery, a Lime & Dolomite Plant and a Power Plant. The DRI Plant has the unique feature of using synthetic gas from the Coal Gasification Plant as reducing agent. The DRI/Coal gasification route is being used for the first time in the world and has the advantage of using high ash coal which is predominantly available in the vicinity of the project site. The company has already invested over Rs 17,000 Crore in its Angul project. The first phase is almost ready with the commissioning of Steel Melting Shop with 250 T Electric Arc Furnace that is largest Electric Arc Furnace in India, Plate Mill of 1.2 Million Tons per annum capacity and 6X135 MW Captive Power plant. The Plate Mill is capable of producing 5 m wide plates, making it the widest plate producing mill in the country. The Coal gasification plant is in the final stages of commissioning and is expected to be ready soon. The CGP – DRI route, once ready, will mark the completion of the First Phase of the Project.
