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.
Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Steel on Tuesday said its consolidated crude steel production rose 5 per cent to 24.39 lakh tonnes in November. The growth underscores the company's continued expansion and resilience in the competitive steel industry, strengthening its position as a key player in the country's infrastructure sector. The company's crude steel output was 23.23 lakh tonnes in the corresponding month of the previous fiscal, JSW Steel said in a filing to BSE. The production of its Indian operations also increased 5 per cent to 23.61 lakh tonnes during the month. The company said capacity utilisation at its Indian operations stood at 84 per cent, lower due to the shutdown of a blast furnace at its Vijayanagar facility for capacity upgradation. JSW Steel is the flagship business of the diversified USD 23 billion JSW Group. As one of the country's leading business houses, JSW Group also has interests in energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, realty, e-platforms, mobility, defence,
