As the 21-day lockdown period is nearing end, private steel maker JSW Steel has started preparing to scale up its production.
On March 25, the Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Steel said the company has decided to scale down or suspend production during the lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The manufacturing operations in all of its locations have been either scaled down or suspended, it said adding that consequently, the capacity utilisation is expected to go down significantly during this lockdown period.
While releasing the production figures for the financial year 2019-20 on Tuesday, JSW Steel announced "it is making all preparations to recommence operations at all locations on lifting of lockdown in the next few days."
