Tata Steel increased its steel production in India by 8% y/y in FY2025/2026

In the 2025/2026 fiscal year (ended March 31), the Indian steelmaker Tata Steel increased its steel production in India by 8% year-over-year to 23.48 million metric tons, according to a report.

The growth in steel production was made possible by the expansion of the plant in Kalinganagar, which helped offset the temporary shutdown of Blast Furnace G in Jamshedpur for lining replacement.

In January–March (the fourth quarter of the 2025/2026 fiscal year), steel production in India totaled 6.25 million tons (+15% year-over-year).

Domestic shipments of steel products for the period reached a record 22.53 million tons. This figure exceeded 20 million tons for the first time, which, as noted by Tata Steel, demonstrates the company’s strong market position and solid relationships with customers.

Tata Steel Netherlands’ steel production in the 2025/2026 fiscal year amounted to 6.69 million tons, a slight decrease year-on-year, while shipments for the period totaled 6.14 million tons (-1.7% year-on-year).

Tata Steel UK’s shipments for the fiscal year totaled 2.21 million tons (-11.9% year-on-year).

As a reminder, in December of last year, Tata Steel’s board of directors approved a series of decisions regarding future capital expenditures in India. In particular, there are plans to expand the capacity of Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd. (NINL) in the state of Odisha by 4.8 million tons per year (first phase). This step will make it possible to increase the long products portfolio, especially in the high-margin retail segment.
