New Delhi, November 11 — JSW Steel’s consolidated crude steel production increased 19% year-on-year to 25.73 lakh tonnes (LT) in October 2026, supported by higher output from its Indian operations.

India production rises 19%
Production from JSW Steel’s Indian operations increased to 24.86 lakh tonnes during October, compared with 20.85 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period.
This represents a year-on-year increase of around 19%.

Steel capacity at 37.9 MTPA
JSW Steel is the flagship business of the diversified $55-billion JSW Group, which has operations across sectors including energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, real estate, mobility, defence, sports and venture capital.
Over the past three decades, JSW Steel has expanded from a single manufacturing facility into one of India’s leading integrated steel companies.
The company’s combined crude steel production capacity currently stands at 37.9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA).
This includes 4.5 MTPA of capacity through the JSW JFE Steel joint venture.
Capacity targeted at 54.8 MTPA
JSW Steel is also pursuing a significant capacity expansion programme.
The company’s next phase of growth is expected to increase its combined crude steel capacity to 54.8 MTPA over the next four years.
Its Vijayanagar facility in Karnataka is currently India’s largest single-location steel-producing plant, with a capacity of 19.5 MTPA.
JSW Steel plans to expand the Vijayanagar plant’s capacity to 25 MTPA by FY30.
According to the company, the expansion would make Vijayanagar the world’s largest steel plant by capacity at a single location.
The 19% rise in October production comes as JSW Steel continues to expand its manufacturing footprint and prepare for its next phase of capacity growth.
