Production in India increased by 6% to 5.68 mt, supported by new capacity at the Kalinganagar facility, which added 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in September. The new blast furnace is currently producing 8,000 tonnes daily and is being ramped up to full capacity. In the Netherlands, production rose to 1.76 mt from 1.19 mt, while UK production ceased as the company transitions to an electric arc furnace for cleaner steelmaking.
