The company's Indian operations produced 21.98 lakh tonnes during the month, up 14.65% from 19.17 lakh tonnes in the corresponding period last year. Meanwhile, its Ohio-based facility in the United States contributed 0.95 lakh tonnes, reflecting a 20.25% year-on-year increase from 0.79 lakh tonnes.

Production was higher in May 2026 mainly due to full operations of the Dolvi unit (one of the blast furnaces was under planned maintenance shutdown in May 2025) and JVML operations being fully ramped up. Blast Furnace 3 (BF3) at Vijayanagar is under shutdown for upgradation of capacity and is expected to restart in the second fortnight of June 2026. The capacity utilisation for Indian operations for the month excluding BF3 capacity was at 98% and, including BF3 capacity was at 87%.
