Crude Steel Output Hits New High: 27.79 Mt, Domestic Sales Surge 30% in Q4

JSW Steel achieved a significant operational milestone in FY 2024–25, reporting its highest-ever annual crude steel production of 27.79 million tonnes. This marked a strong growth compared to the previous year and was a result of improved plant utilization, new capacity additions, and steady demand from key domestic sectors. The company’s consistent investment in process automation, raw material sourcing, and logistics optimization also contributed to this record output. These developments positioned JSW Steel as one of the top-performing steel producers in the country, with a clear emphasis on volume growth and efficient asset deployment.

In the fourth quarter alone, JSW Steel reported crude steel production of 7.63 million tonnes, reflecting a 12 percent year-on-year increase. The company’s total steel sales during this period reached 7.49 million tonnes, up 11 percent over the same quarter last year. Notably, domestic steel sales grew sharply to 6.72 million tonnes, a jump of approximately 30 percent. This surge was driven by increased offtake from the construction and automotive industries, where infrastructure projects and vehicle production remained strong. The remaining volumes were directed toward export markets, which accounted for around 8 percent of total Indian sales, maintaining JSW’s presence in global trade flows.

The strong quarterly and annual volume performance came despite ongoing challenges such as global price volatility and sluggish demand in some international markets. JSW Steel continued to benefit from its diversified market approach, maintaining steady deliveries across both urban and industrial sectors in India. The company also optimized its production mix to align with domestic pricing trends, which remained more stable than global benchmarks. With demand expected to remain robust in India due to continued infrastructure spending and industrial growth, JSW Steel is well positioned to sustain its production momentum while advancing its long-term capacity expansion plans.
