JSW Steel output grows 14 pc to 7.26 MnT in Q1

NEW DELHI: JSW Steel on Tuesday said its crude steel production increased 14 per cent to 7.26 million tonnes (MnT) in June quarter, compared to 6.35 MnT produced in same period a year ago.

However, on a quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) basis, the production was lower by 5 per cent compared to 7.63 MnT during January-March or last quarter of FY25, primarily due to planned maintenance shutdowns of blast furnaces, JSW Steel said in a filing.

Following planned maintenance shutdowns, the blast furnaces have been restarted and are operating at optimum capacity levels, the company said.
