JSW Steel, one of the largest Indian steelmakers, produced 1.25 million mt of crude steel in August this year, showing a decrease of 13 percent year on year, due to planned shutdown at Vijayanagar works and severe monsoon impact at Dolvi works.
According to the company's statement, in the given month JSW Steel produced 851,000 mt of flat rolled products, decreasing by 13 percent, while its long rolled product output totaled 291,000 mt, down five percent, both on year-on-year basis.
