In 2007-08, the blast furnace unit registerd the best ever figures in almost all the months.
The single day production crossed 7,000 tonnes mark on several occasions and the highest single day productivity of 7,282 tonnes was achieved on November 11, 2007.
The average coke rate touched an all time low of 566 kg per tonne of hot metal during the said year and in January 2008, this was reduced to the level of 537kg per tonne.
