³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ͵ÅÄ Corporation

Acquisition of Electrical Steel Sheet Manufacturing Company in India

³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ͵ÅÄ Corporation and JSW Steel Limited (JSW) announced that they have reached an agreement with thyssenkrupp AG to acquire 100% shares in thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India Private Limited (Hereinafter, the Acquisition), an Indian manufacturer and supplier of electrical steel sheets, through their joint venture JSW JFE Electrical Steel Private Limited, and have concluded a share purchase agreement on October 18, 2024. The acquisition is expected to be completed following necessary procedures such as obtaining approval from the authorities.

 

thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India, the target company of the Acquisition, is located in Nashik, Maharashtra, India, and as one of the first manufacturer of electrical steel sheets in India, has been manufacturing and selling cold rolled grain oriented electrical steel sheets for more than 10 years.

 

³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ͵ÅÄ and JSW have been working together to establish a production system for grain oriented electrical steel sheets (GOES) in India, as demand for GOES is expected to increase with the country's growing demand for power generation and transmission.

 

In February 2024, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ͵ÅÄ and JSW established JSW JFE Electrical Steel Private Limited, a joint venture for the production of GOES, with the aim of establishing an integrated manufacturing system for GOES in India. The Company plans to commence full production in 2027. Now through this acquisition, the Company will enter the Indian market for GOES earlier than originally planned and promptly establish an integrated system from manufacturing to sales of GOES in India to meet the growing demand for GOES in the future.

 

Demand for high-grade electrical steel sheet is expected to continue to increase worldwide as automobiles become more electrified, energy use becomes more efficient, and renewable energy is introduced more widely. Going forward, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ͵ÅÄ will continue to strengthen its manufacturing systems both in Japan and overseas to further improve its world-class manufacturing capabilities and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by expanding the supply of eco-products that contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
