The company achieved production growth of 9% in the first nine months of FY 22 and have achieved 8 MTPA (80 lakh tons) for the first time in a calendar year.
Jindal Steel and Power, India’s leading Steel Producer, posted a strong recovery in steel sales sequentially in December 2021. The company reported steel sales of 6.85 lakh tons, up 27% month over month. JSPL’s steel sales would have been higher but for the impact of the non-availability of railway rakes for the third consecutive month. Steel sales of 18.2 lakh tons in Q3 FY22 were also constrained due to limited rake availability and unseasonal rains in several states. Exports accounted for 28% of steel sales in December 2021 and 23% for the quarter.
JSPL reported steel production of 59.04 lakh tons in the last 9 months of this financial year, which is a 9% rise as compared to last year for the same period.
