JSW Steel reported consolidated crude steel production of 24.65 lakh tonnes for August 2026, registering a 3% year-on-year growth compared to 23.82 lakh tonnes in August 2025.

The company disclosed this data on September 5, 2026, in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Capacity utilisation for Indian operations stood at 88% for the month.

Production Breakdown

Indian operations contributed significantly to the overall growth, producing 23.87 lakh tonnes, up 4% from 22.95 lakh tonnes in the same period last year. In contrast, JSW Steel USA – Ohio saw a decline, with production falling to 0.78 lakh tonnes from 0.88 lakh tonnes, a decrease of 11%.

Particulars August 2026 August 2025 YoY Change
Indian Operations 23.87 lakh tonnes 22.95 lakh tonnes +4%
JSW Steel USA – Ohio 0.78 lakh tonnes 0.88 lakh tonnes -11%
Consolidated Production 24.65 lakh tonnes 23.82 lakh tonnes +3%

The prior year’s figures have been restated to exclude the steel business undertaking of Bhushan Power and Steel Limited, which was transferred to JSW-JFE Steel Limited on a slump-sale basis in March 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between domestic and international operations highlights a shift in production dynamics. While Indian operations expanded output by 4%, the US facility contracted by 11%. This indicates that the consolidated growth was entirely driven by domestic strength, offsetting the decline in overseas production.

Company Profile

JSW Steel is the flagship business of the US$ 25 billion JSW Group. The company operates as India’s leading integrated steel manufacturer with a combined crude steel capacity of 37.9 MTPA, including 4.5 MTPA through its joint venture, JSW JFE Steel. The firm plans to expand its combined capacity to 54.8 MTPA over the next four years.

Its Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka, currently the largest single-location steel facility in India with a capacity of 19.5 MTPA, is set to expand to approximately 25 MTPA by FY30. This expansion aims to make it the world’s largest steel plant.
