Tata Steel has reported a 5% year-on-year increase in steel production in India, reaching 5.27 million tons for the July-September 2024 quarter. Domestic supplies rose by 5.8% to 5.10 million tons during this period. For the first half of FY2024/2025, production totaled 10.53 million tons, also up 5% year-on-year. In contrast, Tata Steel's UK operations saw a significant decline, with production dropping by 50% to 0.38 million tons due to the shutdown of the last blast furnace at Port Talbot. The company recently commissioned India's largest blast furnace in Kalinganagar, aiming to boost production capacity to 26.6 million tons annually.
