With Government Order (GO) No. 184, JSW has now received the green light to repurpose the site into a multi-utility industrial park. To support the project, the state will supply water at INR 25 (USD 0.28) per kilolitre for 25 years. Initially, water will come from the Mehadrigedda reservoir and later from the Thatipudi reservoir. Power infrastructure is also part of the plan; two substations will be built to ensure a 25 MW power supply. Notably, the company will enjoy a 100 per cent concession on change of land utilisation, making the project more viable.
MSME park to create 45,000 jobs
A key component of this transformation is the MSME Park, to be established on 985 acres. During India’s 75th Republic Day celebrations, District Collector S. Nagalakshmi stated, “The establishment of JSW Aluminium Limited's MSME Park in S. Kota mandal is poised to generate immediate direct and indirect employment opportunities for approximately 45,000 individuals.”
The investment is pegged at INR 155,310 million (USD 1,849 million), underscoring the government’s and industry’s confidence in the region’s potential. The project aligns with broader infrastructure upgrades, including new railway lines and highways, that are expected to accelerate local economic activity.
