JFE Engineering contributes big achievements to Indian society

JFE Engineering brings water treatment and waste-to-energy expertise to India, training local staff and targeting Andhra Pradesh for sustainable growth.

"JFE Engineering's technology and experience will contribute to clean India including total treatment - Keiichi Nagaya"

Tokyo, May 7

JFE Engineering has big achievements to construct global social infrastructure and establish circular economy. It has started to contribute to Indian society.

JFE Engineering's technological origin is steel and shipbuilding industry. Original technology is cultivated to cover energy, environment field and social infrastructure construction.

Under the world trend environment field becomes main axis of business.

Managing Director of JFE Engineering Keiichi Nagaya explains.

"Water treatment is one of successful cases in Asia=Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia. JFE Engineering built facility of clean and waste water. It operates to clean up waste water to purified clean water to pour into the river. When the requirement to increase clean water, JFE Engineering strengthen purifying function.

JFE Engineering intends to develop this system to India. Already it established subsidiary in 2011 and it is the base of service. It can supply engineering facility to water management service."

Another big axis of JFE Engineering is the waste power generation. In Japan JFE Engineering has big fame as a reliable contractor and now develops Indian market.

Managing Director of JFE Engineering Keiichi Nagaya says "JFE Engineering trained Indian subsidiary's 200 staff to join to waste power generation project in Vietnam. In this case JFE Engineering developed, invested and operated its facility. In this process Indian staff procured necessary machine and equipment based on their plan. It was good opportunity for practical training. And now it is targeting Andra Pradesh state. Regarding waste power generation India is in dawn period. JFE Engineering's technology and experience will contribute to clean India including total treatment= construction, investment, operation and finally management of all electricity. After Indian success it will be supplying base to global market."

JFE Engineering's policy is not only "make in India" but also "educate and grow up in India". It is the evidence of serious determination.

Finally some serious talk about waste power generation! Our cities are drowning in garbage, and this technology could be the solution. Only hope they adapt it properly for Indian conditions, because what works in Japan might need adjustments for our climate and waste composition.

The water treatment project sounds promising. We have so many rivers that are literally toxic from industrial waste and untreated sewage. If JFE can replicate their Philippines success here, it would be a blessing. Also impressed that they're training Indian staff to operate these facilities independently.

Waste-to-energy is still in its infancy here. Hope JFE's proven track record in Japan helps them navigate India's complex regulatory and contractual environment. The "dawn period" analogy is perfect - we need pioneers with patience. Good luck to them in Andhra Pradesh!

I'm cautiously optimistic. Many foreign companies come to India with big promises but struggle with our bureaucracy and local partnerships. However, JFE's long-term commitment since 2011 and their focus on training Indian talent shows they're serious. Let's see if they deliver sustainable results.

It's refreshing to see Japanese engineering expertise being shared with India. The approach of "not just make in India, but educate and grow in India" is something more multinationals should adopt. This kind of technology transfer will benefit both countries in the long run.
