Bengaluru, April 15, 2025: Nagarnar Steel Limited (NSL) achieved historic operational milestones on 13th & 14th April, 2025, delivering record-breaking production across all major units - highlighting both the plant’s process excellence and its growing strength in India's steel sector.
In a significant achievement on 13th April, 2025, NSL’s Blast Furnace achieved a landmark production of 10,169 tonnes of hot metal in a single day, surpassing its designed maximum capacity and reaching a production of 2.26 tonnes/m³/day. Commissioned in August 2023, the furnace has a useful volume of 4,506 cubic metres and was originally designed for an average hot metal production of 9,500 TPD, with a rated peak of 9,900 TPD and a design of 2.2 tonnes/m³/day. Achieving this kind of performance in such a short period, highlights the technical excellence and operational discipline embedded in NSL’s processes.
In another record-breaking performance by NSL on 14th April 2025, the Sinter Plant registered its highest-ever daily production of 12,385 tonnes, the Hot Strip Mill reached a new benchmark with 8,260 tonnes of HR Coil production and the Steel Melting Shop achieved an impressive output of 47 heats and 8,600 tonnes of liquid steel in a single day, among many other achievements. These results come at a time when NSL has already been exceeding its rated performance levels, signalling its rising trajectory since commissioning.
These historic performances by NSL marks a defining moment in our journey as a steel producer. Surpassing design capacities within months of commissioning demonstrates the extraordinary capabilities of our engineering, operations and skilled teams. These achievements represent a bold statement of NSL’s readiness to take its place among India’s leading steelmakers,” said Shri Amitava Mukherjee, Chairman and Managing Director (CMD), NMDC Steel.
