John Cockerill wins contract for electrical steel process lines with JSW Vijayanagar Metallics Limited!
John Cockerill has been awarded a landmark contract by JSW Steel for the design, engineering, supply, supervision of er****on and commissioning of two Annealing & Coating Lines (ACL 2 & ACL 3) and one Annealing & Pickling Line (APL) for its Cold Rolled Non-Oriented (CRNO) Electrical Steel Project in Vijayanagar, Karnataka.
The project will be led by John Cockerill in close cooperation with Fives Stein, bringing together extensive experience in annealing, coating and pickling technologies to meet the specific requirements of electrical steel production and JVML's performance expectations.
This project marks John Cockerill's entry into India's electrical steel processing market and represents an important step in supporting the country's growing demand for high-performance electrical steel used in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, industrial motors and power infrastructure.
With a production capacity of approximately 600,000 tonnes per annum, the new facilities will contribute to strengthening India's domestic electrical steel value chain and advancing the nation's electrification ambitions.
We thank JVML for its confidence in our teams and look forward to delivering this important project.
