Tata Steel has reported an all-time high production of hot metal, crude steel and saleable steel in the first nine months of fiscal 2004-05. |
Saleable steel production in the April - December 2004 period was 3.13 million tonne (mn.t.), 2 per cent higher than the volumes in the corresponding period last year. |
|
Production was higher despite the fact that Tisco's largest blast furnace, labelled 'G', was shut down from December 2004, for capacity expansion work. |
|
Tisco said its cold rolling mill produced 1.06 million tonnes, 15 per cent more in volume terms than the first nine months of the last fiscal. |
|
Tisco's initiative to enrich product mix continued to yield results, it added. |
|
Supplies to the automobile sector comprising HR, CR and galvanised products was up by 32 per cent as compared to the corresponding period last fiscal. |
|
Sales of branded products Tata Shakti corrugated galvanised sheets, Tiscon rebars and Tata Steelium cold rolled sheets rose by 13 per cent, 15 per cent and 27 per cent respectively. |
