JSW Steel Q1 Crude Steel Production Rises 3% Despite Vijayanagar Shutdown; Tata Steel Sees Domestic Growth
JSW Steel reported a 3% year-on-year increase in consolidated crude steel production to 6.59 million tonnes in Q1 FY27, despite a prolonged shutdown of Blast Furnace 3 at its Vijayanagar plant for capacity upgrades. Excluding this shutdown impact, production grew nearly 15%, supported by full ramp-up of JSW Vijayanagar Metallics and improved utilisation at the Dolvi unit. Indian operations ran at about 94% capacity utilisation. Meanwhile, Tata Steel's domestic crude steel production rose 9% year-on-year, driven by higher output at Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar units, though its European operations saw a slowdown.
