Jindal Steel is shifting focus to flat products, targeting a 55% flat and 45% long ratio by Q4 FY26, with the company aiming for a 70% value-added product profile as capacities expand. The company made a non-binding offer to acquire Thyssenkrupp's European steel division, potentially reshaping the European steel market.
