Mr Naveen Jindal, the youngest son of the steel visionary Late Shri O.P. Jindal,has transformed Jindal Steel & Power Limited, a moderately performing company in the steel sector into a star performer.

After completing his MBA from the US, Mr Jindal took over the management of the Raigarh & Raipur divisions of Jindal Strips Limited (JSL) in 1993 at a challenging time when these divisions were in their difficult phase making huge financial losses.

The Raigarh unit was envisaged at the time when it was a challenge to successfully implement a coal based sponge iron technology using high ash Indian non coking coal. The Raigarh plant was set up in backward and tribal areas of Chhattisgarh (erstwhile Madhya Pradesh), which made operating the plant all the more challenging. The unit, under the leadership of Mr Naveen Jindal, not only successfully adapted the coal based sponge iron technology but also ventured into new areas by setting up captive power plants which use waste products of the sponge iron making process to generate power.

The addition of captive iron ore and coal mines has enhanced the operational efficiencies of the plant , making Jindal Steel & Power Limited a trailblazer in the steel sector. This business model of complete backward and forward integration has now become a benchmark in the steel industry.

JSPL has seen a spectacular growth under the leadership of Mr Naveen Jindal and is today one of the most efficiently run steel companies in the world for its scale of operations. Mr Jindal however sees this success as a result of the invaluable guidance and inspiration that he draws from his father and hard work put in by the dedicated team of professionals and workers.
