JSW Steel reported consolidated crude steel production of 24.75 lakh tonnes for January 2026. Production at its Indian operations was slightly higher compared to the previous year. However, overall output declined due to maintenance shutdowns and outages at certain facilities.
Blast Furnace-3 at the Vijayanagar plant has been under shutdown since September 2025 for capacity expansion and is expected to restart by the end of Q4 FY26. This temporarily affected capacity utilisation in India during January.
Capacity utilisation for Indian operations stood at around 93% excluding BF3 capacity and about 85% including BF3 capacity.
In the USA Ohio plant, production was lower because of a scheduled outage for caster upgrades between 15 December 2025 and 11 January 2026.
JSW Steel is the flagship company of the US$23-billion JSW Group, which has businesses across energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, real estate, mobility, defence, sports, and venture capital.
The company has grown into India’s leading integrated steel producer with consolidated crude steel capacity of 35.7 MTPA, including 1.5 MTPA in the US. Domestic capacity stands at 34.2 MTPA, and expansion plans aim to raise total capacity to 48.9 MTPA over the next four years. Its Vijayanagar facility in Karnataka is India’s largest single-location steel plant with 17.5 MTPA capacity.
The company has received several global recognitions for sustainability and operational excellence, including repeated selection as a World Steel Sustainability Champion (2019–2025) and inclusion in major global sustainability indices.
JSW Steel targets a 42% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030, aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, and plans to power steelmaking operations entirely through renewable energy by 2030. Additional goals include improving air and water efficiency and achieving no net loss of biodiversity at operating sites.
It has also been recognised for workplace culture, earning Great Place to Work certification and rankings among India’s best employers.
