New Delhi: JSW Steel on Monday reported a three per cent rise in consolidated crude steel production to 24.02 lakh tonnes in July.

The company’s crude steel output stood at 23.27 lakh tonnes (LT) in the corresponding month last year.

The production from the company’s Indian operations increased by four per cent to 23.39 LT, compared to 22.55 LT in July 2025.
