Feature: Every successful business begins with a bold step — and for Jasdeep Singh Chhabra, that step came in 2005 when he decided to turn his knowledge of accounts and finance into a full-fledged enterprise. Two decades later, that decision has transformed into a thriving network of businesses that power Odisha’s industries with quality coal and minerals. As proprietor of Chhabra Minerals and director of multiple companies, he has become a trusted name in coal trading, beneficiation, and distribution, known for his integrity, professionalism, and commitment to excellence.
Chhabra Minerals, founded in 2005 in Rourkela, began as a modest trading venture with a clear goal: to provide high-quality coal, coke fines, and dolochar at competitive prices while ensuring timely delivery. Through a strong distribution network that reached industries across Odisha and neighboring states, the company quickly built a reputation for reliability and transparency. Jasdeep Singh Chhabra’s approach was never just transactional; it was about forging lasting relationships with clients and consistently delivering value, which laid the foundation for the company’s remarkable growth over the years.
Driven by a vision to add more value to the coal supply chain, Chhabra expanded into beneficiation with the establishment of Chhabra Coal Benefication Energy (P) Limited in 2015. The company set up a coal crushing and screening plant at Hemgir, Sundargarh. Though regulatory changes led to the relocation of the plant in 2018, Chhabra remained undeterred. Today, the company is preparing to launch a 0.9-million-tonne coal washery, scheduled to commence production in 2027, demonstrating his long-term commitment to improving coal quality and strengthening Odisha’s industrial ecosystem.
In 2022, Jasdeep Singh Chhabra co-founded Bajrangbali Minmet Private Limited with Maju Debi Agarwal to address a market gap that had long been ignored — the small and mid-sized industries that lacked reliable suppliers. BMPL focuses on the trading of coal, coke fines, dolochar, and iron ore while also catering to power, steel, cement, and sugar sectors. With a registered office in Rourkela and a fully equipped operational hub at Kalunga Industrial Estate, BMPL has developed an end-to-end ecosystem, including logistics, quality control, mine management, finance, and customer support teams, ensuring uninterrupted supply and consistent service for its clients.
Over the years, Jasdeep Singh Chhabra has earned recognition for combining financial strength, market expertise, and a customer-first approach. His enterprises are distinguished by skilled manpower, competitive pricing, timely delivery, and transparent dealings. He believes in empowering his team, adopting advanced technology, and executing both short- and long-term contracts with precision. Every challenge is an opportunity for innovation, and every satisfied client a testament to his philosophy of building win-win partnerships.
Looking ahead, Chhabra remains focused on expanding operations, filling critical market gaps, and building a future-ready organization that continues to drive Odisha’s industrial growth. With the upcoming coal washery project and a growing presence in iron ore trading, his businesses are poised for sustained expansion. In an industry often challenged by volatility and uncertainty, Jasdeep Singh Chhabra stands out as a steady force — a visionary entrepreneur who has turned bold beginnings into lasting impact.
