Steel company Tata Steel produced 5.67 million tons of steel at its domestic plants in India in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025/2026 (July-September 2025), according to a company statement.

These volumes are 7% higher year-on-year and 8% higher than in the previous quarter. The results were supported by the normalization of operations after the replacement of the lining of blast furnace G in Jamshedpur during the second quarter.

Domestic shipments in July-September increased by 7% y/y and 20% q/q – to 5.56 million tons, driven by improved production and stable demand in various segments, despite seasonal factors related to monsoons.
