JSW Steel gains on inking HoA with POSCO Group to explore 6 MTPA steel plant in India
JSW Steel rose 1.53% to Rs 1,061.15 after the company had signed a non-binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) with South Korea's POSCO Group, a leading steel producer, to jointly explore setting up a 6 MTPA integrated steel plant in India. The agreement signifies a major step toward strengthening strategic ties between the two leading global steelmakers. This HoA builds on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by both parties in October 2024 and outlines the broad framework for the proposed 50:50 joint venture. As part of the next steps, JSW and POSCO will undertake a detailed feasibility study to finalize the plants location, investment terms, resource availability, and other critical factors. Given its natural resource base and logistical advantages, Odisha is among the key locations being considered. Jayant Acharya, Joint Managing Director & CEO, JSW Steel, said, This partnership brings together JSWs proven execution capabilities and strong domestic footprint with POSCOs technological leadership in steelmaking. The proposed venture aligns with Indias vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and will help create a globally competitive manufacturing hub to serve both domestic and export markets. Lee Ju-tae, Representative Director and President, POSCO Holdings, added, India is central to the future of global steel demand. Our collaboration with JSW is based on mutual trust and a shared long-term vision. This initiative represents our commitment to supporting Indias industrial growth while creating long-term value for both organizations. JSW Steel is the flagship business of the diversified, US$ 23 billion JSW Group. As one of India's leading business houses, JSW Group also has interests in energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, realty, e-platforms, mobility, defence, sports, and venture capital. The company reported a 158.46% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 2,209 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, compared to Rs 867 crore in the corresponding period last year.

SAIL, JSPL among steel stocks rising up to 3% as DGTR proposes 3-year safeguard duty on imports
Tata Steel, JSW Steel, SAIL, and JSPL saw their share prices rise by up to 3% in Monday's trading session as investors reacted positively to the imposition of a safeguard duty on steel imports. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), under the Ministry of Commerce, on August 16 recommended the final imposition of a safeguard duty on imports of certain flat steel products for three years to protect domestic manufacturers from a sudden surge in inbound shipments. DGTR, the apex authority for administering all trade remedial measures, including anti-dumping, countervailing duties, and safeguard measures, has recommended a 12% duty in the first year, 11.5% in the second, and 11% in the third year. The recommendation follows the DGTR's final findings of a probe initiated on a complaint by the Indian Steel Association. Based on preliminary findings, the government had already imposed a provisional 12% safeguard duty for 200 days in April. In its final report, DGTR concluded that there has been a 'recent, sudden, sharp, and significant increase in imports of PUC (product under consideration) into India at the cumulative level as a result of unforeseen developments… and [these imports] threaten to cause serious injury to the domestic industry/producers.' The Indian Steel Association, representing members including ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, JSW Steel, Jindal Steel and Power, and Steel Authority of India, sought the duty to counter imports of non-alloy and alloy steel flat products. The association alleged a surge in imports caused serious injury to domestic players. According to data, Chinese exports alone reached 110.7 million MT in 2024, a 25% jump from 2023, with much of the excess supply being redirected to India. Imported hot-rolled coils landed at USD 450 per MT in May 2025, nearly USD 87 per MT lower than Indian costs, even after duties. Domestic profit before tax plunged 76%, which DGTR said amounted to 'serious injury' to local producers. Commenting on this, think tank GTRI noted that India's trade watchdog DGTR has confirmed safeguard duties on a wide range of steel imports, rejecting submissions from over 250 stakeholders, including major automakers and electronics firms. GTRI, however, countered DGTR's findings, arguing that India remains a net steel importer with demand in FY2024–25 estimated at 137.82 MT against domestic production of 132.89 MT. According to GTRI, Indian steelmakers are not under distress, and such safeguard duties could create cartel-like conditions when combined with quality control orders.

JSW Steel and POSCO plan joint venture for 6 MTPA steel plant in Odisha
Executives from both companies highlighted the strategic importance of the tie-up. Jayant Acharya, Joint MD and CEO of JSW Steel, said that combining JSW's strong execution capabilities in India with POSCO's technological expertise would create a competitive steel manufacturing hub catering to both domestic and international markets. Lee Ju-tae, President of POSCO Holdings, noted that India is central to future global steel demand and described the partnership as one built on long-term trust and a shared vision for industrial growth. The companies will now conduct a detailed study to assess the location, investment structure, raw material requirements and regulatory approvals before taking a final investment decision. Industry analysts say the project could strengthen India's steel manufacturing capacity and support its ambitions of becoming a global hub for industrial production. It also signals POSCO's renewed interest in India after past plans were delayed due to land acquisition challenges. If completed, the project would represent one of the most significant Indo-Korean industrial collaborations and add momentum to India's goal of ramping up domestic steel output while also expanding its export potential.
