JSW Steel reported consolidated crude steel production of 7.26 million tonnes for the first quarter of FY 2025–26, reflecting a 14 per cent year-on-year increase. However, production declined by 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to planned maintenance shutdowns of blast furnaces during the period. These furnaces have since resumed operations and are currently running at optimum capacity levels.

Capacity utilisation for JSW’s Indian operations stood at 87 per cent during Q1 FY26.

JSW Steel, the flagship business of the $ 23 billion JSW Group, is one of India’s leading integrated steel manufacturers with a consolidated crude steel capacity of 35.7 MTPA, including 1.5 MTPA in the United States. Its domestic capacity stands at 34.2 MTPA, with 1.7 MTPA currently under commissioning.

The company’s Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka is India’s largest single-location steel production facility, with a capacity of 17.5 MTPA (including under commissioning). JSW Steel collaborates with JFE Steel of Japan to access advanced technologies for high-value special steel products used across infrastructure, automotive, electrical, and construction sectors.
