Tata Steel India’s crude steel production rose 10% year-on-year (YoY) to 6.21 million tonnes in 2QFY27, driven primarily by higher output from its Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar facilities.

Automotive and branded products drive domestic volumes
The Automotive & Special Products vertical recorded its best-ever second-quarter volumes at around 1.1 million tonnes, registering growth of 9% QoQ and 19% YoY. The increase was driven by the ramp-up of the Continuous Annealing and Galvanising lines at Kalinganagar and the Combi mill at Jamshedpur.
