JSW to topple SAIL as the largest domestic steel maker

Date: 05-07-2011

JSW Steel is all set to become the country's largest steel maker, dislodging state-run SAIL, with the commissioning of 3.2 million tonne blast furnace at its Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka by mid-July. After the new capacity addition, JSW will be able to produce 14.3 million tonne per annum (MTPA) steel, 0.7 million tonne more than the Steel Authority of India (SAIL). The Vijayanagar plant will have a total production capacity of 10.2 million tonne, post commissioning of the fourth blast furnace.
