Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, through its wholly owned subsidiary Jindal Stainless Steelway Ltd (JSSL), has launched its first stainless steel fabrication unit at Washivali, Patalganga, in Mumbai. This step is aimed at setting new benchmarks in integrated infrastructure excellence. The 4 lakh sqft facility will cater to the needs of the bridge sector and focus on fabricating, among other critical components, various types of girders. The unit was inaugurated by Tarun Khulbe, CEO & CFO, Jindal Stainless, in the presence of other members of the company’s senior leadership.

Developed with an initial investment of approximately INR 125 crore, this facility marks a strategic leap for the company, strengthening its position as both a leading supplier of stainless steel material and a provider of end-to-end fabrication solutions for India’s rapidly growing infrastructure sector. By FY26-27, the unit is expected to achieve an annual fabrication capacity of 18,000 tonnes, up from an estimated 4,000 tonnes in the current financial year, to meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-quality bridge infrastructure. Beyond boosting capacity, the unit will directly create over 250 jobs and benefit 150+ families indirectly, while also serving as a center of excellence for skill development, equipping India’s workforce for the infrastructure of tomorrow.

Commenting on the development, Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, said, “This fabrication unit represents another step in our efforts to provide integrated solutions for customers. Bridges are critical connectors, linking people, businesses, and economic activity across the nation. With this unit, our aim is to implement stronger end-to-end quality management, ensuring that these vital structures are built to the highest standards and supporting India’s broader infrastructure growth.”

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Khulbe stated, “Developing a trained fabricator ecosystem has long been a challenge in fully translating the excellence of sustainable stainless steel material into reliable, high-quality fabrications. With the launch of this facility, we are bridging that gap by bringing together material excellence, skilled fabrication, and streamlined processes to deliver timely and superior infrastructure solutions.”

 Jindal Stainless has long been a trusted partner in supplying stainless steel for some of the nation’s landmark infrastructure projects. Unlike carbon steel, which is prone to corrosion and has been linked to structural failures in urban bridges, stainless steel provides a lifespan of over 100 years with minimal maintenance, offering safer, corrosion-free, and more sustainable solutions. The launch of this pioneering fabrication unit builds further on this commitment. It marks a decisive step forward for the company, which, in addition to producing high-quality stainless steel, will now also directly fabricate critical bridge components–such as girders, arches, nuts and bolts, handles, and other structural parts– offering end-to-end services to infrastructure developers.

The company plans future expansion of the fabrication facility to other regions in India. Aligned with Jindal Stainless’ ESG goals, the Mumbai fabrication unit will also be solar-power enabled in its next phase, further enhancing sustainability.
