NEW DELHI: JSW Steel on Tuesday said its crude steel production declined 13 per cent to 12.54 lakh tonne (LT) during October 2019.

The company had produced 14.47 LT crude steel in October 2018, it said in a BSE filing.

The company registered 25 per cent fall in production of its long rolled products at 2.58 LT as compared to the year-ago month when it stood at 3.46 LT, it said.

“The extended monsoon rains impacted production both at Dolvi and Vijayanagar locations. The company has taken temporary shutdown of one of the blast furnaces at Salem location due to slowdown in demand from auto sector,” it added.

The company’s plant at Vijayanagar in Karnataka is the largest single location steel producing facility in the country with a capacity of 12 MTPA.
