JSW Steel will develop Minas de RevuboA coking coal mine in Mozambique in phases, a company statement said. Located in the Moatize coal basin of the Tete Province, Minas de RevuboA has 850 million tonne (MT) of reserves, and the potential to yield 250 MT of usable coking coal. JSW Steel said it will develop the mine in phases, with the first phase expected to be developed over the next 2.5 years to produce 2.4 million tonne per annum (MTPA) prime hard coking coal. The project is a step towards JSW Steel's backward integration strategy and is expected to provide long-term supply assurance for one of the most critical and cost-intensive inputs in steel manufacturing. India's domestic premium coking coal resources remain limited, making captive overseas sourcing a strategic imperative. "As we grow to 50 MTPA steel capacity in India by 2030, we hope that this asset will provide strategic and diversified raw material security and cushion JSW Steel against volatile global coking coal ..
JSW Steel on Friday posted a 6 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated steel output to 7.48 million tonne (MT) in the December quarter. It had produced 7.03 million tonne (MT) crude steel in the October-December period of the preceding 2024-25 fiscal year from India and the US operations, JSW Steel said in an exchange filing. Blast Furnace 3 (BF3) at Vijayanagar is under shutdown for upgrade of capacity from end of September 2025 and is expected to be commissioned by end of Q4 FY26. Consequently, this affected the capacity utilisation at Indian operations for Q3, FY26. The capacity utilisation for Indian operations for the quarter, excluding blast furnace (BF3) capacity, was at 93 per cent and including BF3 capacity was at 85 per cent.
