*The steel business undertaking of Bhushan Power and Steel Limited (BPSL), a subsidiary of the Company, was transferred on a slump‑sale basis to JSW-JFE Steel Limited (JV company) in March 2026. The production figures relating to the transferred undertaking have been reduced from previous year's numbers for comparison.
Production was higher in May 2026 mainly due to full operations of Dolvi unit (one of the Blast Furnace was under planned maintenance shutdown in May 2025) and JVML operations fully ramped-up.
Blast Furnace 3 (BF3) at Vijayanagar is under shutdown for upgradation of capacity, is expected to re-start in second fortnight of June 2026.
