"These investments & projects will help us in producing high quality 'melted and manufactured in USA' steel products required by our customers in the infrastructure and renewable energy sectors," he said.

According to Samir Kalra, CFO of JSW USA, these additional investments will increase JSW Steel USA's local slab manufacturing capacity, which will reduce the risks associated with importing slabs, boost the company's profitability, and generate job prospects in the US.
