What Jai Balaji Industries does

Jai Balaji Industries Limited (BSE: 532976, NSE: JAIBALAJI) is a Kolkata-headquartered, publicly listed, vertically integrated steel manufacturer founded in 1999 that operates eight integrated manufacturing units across West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and Jharkhand with a combined installed capacity exceeding 2.74 million tonnes per annum. Its product portfolio spans the full steel value chain: Direct Reduced Iron (345,000 TPA), Pig Iron (630,000 TPA), Ferro Alloys including low-carbon ferrochrome (166,000 TPA, largest in India), Alloy and Mild Steel Billets (394,000 TPA), TMT Bars branded Balaji Shakti Thermex and JBG HEXA (260,000 TPA), Ductile Iron Pipes branded JBG HEXA DUCT (300,000 TPA), Alloy and Mild Steel Heavy Rounds, plus OPVC pipes (1,200 TPA from February 2026). Technology centers on licensed German Thermex quenching for TMT bars, submerged arc furnaces for ferro alloys, ladle refining and vacuum degassing, and captive waste-heat-recovery power plants (71.1 MW expanding to 111.1 MW) that recycle DRI kiln and blast furnace off-gases.

The company runs a direct B2B sales-led model, supplying approved-vendor steel to NTPC Limited, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, RDSO-approved railway applications, Central and State Government infrastructure projects (hydro-electric plants, highways), and industrial buyers such as Nalco and Vedanta for alumina smelting. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales on a per-tonne basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Group revenue is self-reported at over $1.2 billion per annum and the most recently disclosed quarterly revenue (Q3 FY26, December 2025) was Rs 1,353.35 crore. The company is promoter-controlled by the Jajodia family, has 10,000+ employees, and operates four wholly-owned subsidiaries covering steel, power, and an international trading entity in Uganda. In December 2023 it raised Rs 559 crore from Tata Capital Financial Services to retire legacy non-performing assets, an action that reset the balance sheet but also flagged historical financial stress.
