JSW Steel today reported an increase of 2% in October crude steel production at 5.7 lakh tonne over the corresponding month last year.
The company had produced 5.59 lakh tonne crude steel in the year-ago period.

The company had produced 17.38 lakh tonne crude steel in the second quarter of the current fiscal.
