The company noted that the previous year’s production figures have been adjusted following the transfer of Bhushan Power and Steel Limited’s steel business to JSW JFE Steel Limited in March 2026.
Blast Furnace Expansion Temporarily Impacted Output
Production growth during the quarter was affected by the planned shutdown of Blast Furnace 3 (BF3) at the company’s Vijayanagar facility.
The furnace was temporarily taken offline to facilitate a capacity expansion project and resumed hot metal production on June 23, 2026.
According to the company, excluding the impact of BF3 from the previous year’s base, crude steel production recorded an estimated 15% year-on-year increase.
The stronger underlying performance was supported by:
- Full ramp-up of JSW Vijayanagar Metallics Limited (JVML).
- Improved capacity utilisation at the Dolvi manufacturing facility.
Capacity Utilisation Remained Healthy
Despite the temporary shutdown, JSW Steel maintained strong operational efficiency.
The company achieved approximately 94% capacity utilisation across its Indian operations during the quarter, excluding the capacity of Blast Furnace 3, reflecting stable production across its manufacturing network.
