Steelmaker JSW Steel reported a 6% growth in the crude steel production of 4.19 million tonnes in the last quarter of the financial year 2021.

The project is expected to be built in three years and become operational in 2024.

The sale of construction steel hit 855,000 tonnes, a year-on-year surge of 17 percent. Exports of the item topped 147,000 tonnes, up 10 percent.

“We are also trying to convert the old cryogenic tankers used for transporting nitrogen into tankers for transporting oxygen,” Oommen added.

Nearly 7,000 tonnes of pipes were shipped to the US, Australia, and Canada during the period, a year-on-year rise of 31 percent.

The group has experience in large scale production, material resources and manufacturing. These factors have ensured high quality and reasonable prices for its cargo.

Last week, a Tata Steel spokesperson had said the company was supplying 300 tonne of LMO daily to various states.

Broken down by districts, here’s production for the week ending April 17, 2021 in thousands of net tons: North East: 164; Great Lakes: 603; Midwest: 183; Southern: 747 and Western: 73 for a total of 1770.
