Production of crude steel was at 7.90 MT, higher 17 per cent over 6.77 MT in Q2 FY25, driven by the Dolvi plant operating at optimum capacity post planned maintenance shutdown in Q1 FY26 and ramp up of JVML (JSW Vijayanagar Metallics Ltd) and BPSL (Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd) expansions.

The adjusted EBITDA increased by 39 per cent YoY, driven primarily by higher volumes and lower iron ore, coking coal and power costs, partly offset by a decrease in realisations. Reported EBITDA was Rs 7,115 crore during the quarter.
