[SMM Steel] India’s JSW Steel reported consolidated crude steel production of 2.12 million mt in April 2026, down 1% YoY, mainly due to the planned shutdown of blast furnace No.3 at its Vijayanagar plant for capacity upgrades. Capacity utilization at Indian operations reached around 94% excluding BF3, but fell to 83% including the furnace. JSW Steel currently has installed crude steel capacity of 35.7 million mt/year and plans to expand it to 48.9 million mt/year over the next four years.
