The announcement details negative impacts on the company's operations due to geopolitical events, including reduced capacity and supply chain disruptions.
Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) has issued a statement detailing the impact of the Middle East war crisis on its operations. The company highlighted that several processes across its plants have been adversely affected due to a heavy dependence on industrial gases such as propane/LPG and natural gas. Unlike the conventional steel industry, the stainless steel industry, which follows a scrap-based production route, does not generate these gases internally. Consequently, constraints in fuel availability have led to plants operating at a rationalized capacity.
Furthermore, disruptions in global shipping routes are causing vessel diversions, longer transit times, and cargo delays, which are exerting additional pressure on supply chains and margins. JSL acknowledged the government's awareness of the situation and its active prioritization of fuel allocation for critical sectors. The company emphasized that clarity on the allocation percentage for industrial propane/LPG and natural gas, along with assurance of regular supplies, will be crucial for the stainless steel industry to plan and optimize operations. Without such clarity, JSL foresees a cascading effect across the industry, the severity of which will depend on the swift resolution of these issues.
