Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) Friday said it has created a new record by producing 13,147 tonnes of crude steel in a single day.
The plant achieved the feat on Thursday.
The earlier record for single day crude steel production stood at 12,778 tonnes which was achieved on December 27, 2018, RSP said in a statement.
The performance was largely contributed by the SMS-II (steel melting shop) department which notched up the highest-ever 11,774 tonnes of crude steel on the said day.
The New Caster-III helped in the performance by casting the highest-ever 5,148 tonnes of crude steel.
The SMS-II department, with the support of Traffic and Raw Materials Department, notched up another feat by pulling out 204 wagons on Thursday, surpassing the earlier record of 168 wagons, it added.
