[JSW Steel posts Q1 crude steel production growth]
JSW Steel reported consolidated crude steel production of 6.59 million tonnes for the June quarter, up 3% year-on-year. This includes 6.35 million tonnes from Indian operations and 240,000 tonnes from its Ohio plant. A lengthy maintenance shutdown of Blast Furnace 3 at Vijayanagar limited overall growth. Excluding this, production grew around 15%, driven by full ramp-up of JVML and improved utilization at Dolvi. Domestic operations maintained 94% capacity utilization during the quarter. The quarterly comparison excludes Bhushan Power and Steel, transferred to JSW-JFE Steel in March 2026.
