JSW Steel today said its crude steel production increased by 41 per cent in January this year to 3.21 lakh tonnes over December 2008.
In December 2008, the company produced 2.28 lakh tonnes, a JSW Steel release said here. The private sector firm produced 3.3 lakh tonnes of crude steel in January 2008.
JSW Steel had temporarily shut down two furnaces in November and December last year due to a poor off-take of the alloy.
