Toshiba JSW JV managing director Itaru Ishibashi said the venture will manufacture products essential for future thermal power plants, contributing to the development of India’s power systems industry as well.

“The support we have received from the government and local community gives me every confidence for the long term success of Toshiba JSW once it starts operation,” added Ishibashi.

The government of Tamil Nadu is extending full support to the JV and is promoting infrastructure development that include power and water supply, as well as strengthening roads and bridges between the plant and the port of Ennore in Chennai.

Initial production will be shipped to customers in India, with subsequent output also be exported to emerging economies of Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
