India-based JSW Steel has announced a 14% year-on-year increase in its consolidated crude steel production for the first quarter of the 2026 financial year (April–June), reaching 7.26 million tonnes. However, this figure also represents a 5% decline compared to the previous quarter.
The quarterly drop in production was attributed to planned maintenance shutdowns of blast furnaces, which have since resumed operations at full capacity.
JSW Steel's Indian operations produced 7.02 million tonnes of crude steel during the quarter — a 5% decrease from the previous quarter but a notable 15% rise year-on-year. Excluding trial production, capacity utilization across Indian facilities stood at 87% for the quarter.
In the fourth quarter of FY2025 (January–March), the company reported a sharp rise in profitability, with consolidated net profit surging by nearly 110% to ₹1,503 crore. Revenue from operations also saw a healthy growth of 8.3%, reaching ₹44,819 crore.
JSW Steel continues to demonstrate resilience and growth in its production capabilities despite operational challenges, reinforcing its leading position in the Indian steel industry.
