Tata Steel reported a slight YoY increase of 0.28pct in its consolidated steel production for the first quarter of FY26, reaching 7.29 mln tons, according to a stock exchange filing. However, consolidated deliveries declined by 2.84pct to 7.19 mln tons over the same period.
In India, crude steel production stood at 5.26 mln tons, while deliveries dropped to 4.75 mln tons. The company attributed the lower deliveries to maintenance-related shutdowns at its Jamshedpur plant, specifically, the relining of the G Blast Furnace, and at Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (NINL). Tata Steel noted that operations at NINL have since resumed and the blast furnace relining at Jamshedpur is expected to be completed by July 2025.
