Production from Indian operations increased 1% quarter-on-quarter to 7.34 MT but declined 1% year-on-year. Capacity utilization for Indian operations, including the ongoing Vijayanagar blast furnace-3 (BF-3) upgrade, was approximately 87% for the quarter and around 96% excluding BF-3 capacity.

JSW Steel’s Salem unit underwent an upgrade with a new ladle furnace and vacuum degasser commissioned in February 2026, raising capacity from one MTPA to 1.15 MTPA. The Vijayanagar BF-3 shutdown, effective since September 2025, impacted production and utilization during FY26.

The company also incorporated production from JSW Sambalpur Steel, formed via a slump sale of Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd's steel business undertaking on March 27, 2026, as part of a joint venture with JFE Steel, Japan.

JSW Steel is the flagship business of the diversified, US$23 billion JSW Group. As one of India’s leading business houses, JSW Group also has interests in energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, realty, e-platforms, mobility, defense, sports, and venture capital.

The company’s consolidated net profit zoomed 198.32% to Rs 2,139 crore in Q3 FY26, compared with Rs 717 crore in the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations rose 11.14% year-on-year to Rs 45,991 crore in the quarter ended 31 December 2025.
