10 Dec 2025 CW Team

The Raw Material Handling System recorded its highest-ever daily wagon-tippling figure with 616 wagons handled on 21 November 2025, while Base Mix production for the month reached a peak of 5,18,886 tonnes. At the Sinter Plant, NSL set new day and monthly records with 15,590 tonnes produced on 30 November and 4,14,271 tonnes for the month, operating at more than 105 per cent of rated capacity.

The Blast Furnace also delivered robust performance, producing 11,315 tonnes of hot metal on 28 November at 119 per cent of capacity utilisation, supported by monthly production of 2,80,049 tonnes at over 101 per cent capacity. NSL reported its lowest-ever monthly average fuel rate of 519 kg per tonne of hot metal using only sinter and ore in burden, alongside a monthly average PCI rate of 164 kg per tonne—among the best in the country.

Downstream units continued this momentum. The Steel Melting Shop and Thin Slab Caster–Hot Strip Mills posted their highest monthly outputs with 2,03,356 tonnes of HR coil, 2,09,445 tonnes of crude steel and 2,15,010 tonnes of liquid steel, achieving capacity utilisation levels of 84, 85 and 86 per cent respectively. The plant also registered its longest converter lining life of 4,799 heats. Two new grades—IS 2062 E450BR and IS 2062 E350C—entered commercial production, expanding NSL’s portfolio for construction, infrastructure and heavy-engineering applications.

Operational improvements at the Oxygen Plant enabled savings of about Rs 1.9 crore in power costs through single-plant turndown mode. Additional achievements included the completion of performance guarantee tests for the Blast Furnace package and Turbo Blower package, as well as securing BIS licences for IS 2041:2024 and IS 2062 E450BR.
