In terms of tonnage, it is the third-largest private steel producer in India and the only private player in India to produce rails. The company manufactures and sells sponge iron, mild steel slabs, rails, mild steel, structural, hot rolled plates, iron ore pellets, and coils.[6] Jindal Steel and Power set up the world's first coal-gasification based DRI plant at Angul, Odisha that uses the locally available high-ash coal and turns it into synthesis gas for steel making, reducing the dependence on imported coke-rich coal. JSPL's coal gas-based steel tech became a case study at Harvard University.[7]

Jindal Institute of Power Technology (JIPT)
JIPT was established to develop a pool of technically trained power plant professionals for power utilities in India and abroad. The course authorizes the pass-outs to operate or undertake maintenance of any part or whole of generating stations of capacity 100 MW & above together with the associated substations.[citation needed]
It is promoted by Jindal Education & Welfare Society, which is supported by Jindal Power Limited. The Institute possesses a simulator of 250 MW/600 MW generating units. JIPT is located in the 4X250, 4X600 MW Jindal Tamnar Thermal Power Plant in Tamnar, Raigarh, Chhattisgarh.[citation needed]
Controversies
editInvolvement in coalgate scam
editJindal Steel and Power was one of the two private companies to get a coal field in February 2009. JSPL got the Talcher coal field in Angul with reserves of 150 crore (1,500 million) metric tonnes after the cut-off date by the Central Government, while the Government-run Navratna Coal India Ltd was refused.[17]
Both the blocks were in Odisha, with a combined worth of over ₹2 lakh crore, and were meant for liquification of coal. The opposition parties alleged that the Government violated all norms in granting the coal fields. Naveen Jindal, however, denied any wrongdoing.[18]
Iron ore reserve mining in Bolivia
editOn 3 June 2006, Bolivia granted development rights for one of the world's largest iron ore reserves in the El Mutún region to Jindal Steel. With an initial investment of US$1.5 billion, the company plans to invest an additional US$2.1 billion over the next eight years in the South American country.[19]
Jindal Steel is likely to terminate the contract of investing $2.1 billion in setting up a steel plant in Bolivia, due to non-fulfilment of contractual obligations by the Bolivian Government.[20]
In 2024, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ruled in favor of Bolivia against the Indian company Jindal Steel Bolivia S.A. (JSB) that demanded compensation of 100 million dollars from the Bolivian State for the Mutún project, which is about to be completed in Santa Cruz.
The court, in its ruling, dismissed JSB's claims and declared that Empresa Siderúrgica de El Mutún (ESM) complied with all of its contractual obligations in good faith under Bolivian law. In addition, it determined that the Indian transnational must assume the costs of the arbitration, which amount to 740 thousand dollars, and pay the ESM more than 1.9 million dollars in costs and expenses, plus interest based on the yield of the bonds of the United States Treasury.[21][22]
