JSW Steel to return to normal capacity in 2 months

On expectation of additional iron ore, a key raw material, from mines in Karnataka

JSW Steel will start operating at its full capacity of 14.3 million tonnes per annum in the next two months on expectations of additional iron ore, a key raw material, from mines in Karnataka, its chief executive said.

The company currently running at 80-85 percent of installed capacity due to lower iron ore supplies, said Vinod Nowal, chief executive of JSW Steel told Reuters on sideline of a conference.

The top court earlier this year has partially removed the mining ban by allowing category A mines, those with 50 hectares and with less or no illegalities, in addition to NMDC's 1 million tonnes per month.
