For the last 34 years, Tata Steel has, year on
year, improved its production record in iron
making, except in FY 05, when G Blast Furnace
was shutdown for upgrading. Similarly, Crude
Steel records have been created for the last 28
years, except in FY 91 and FY 05 while Saleable
Steel production has gone up every year, for the
last 27 years.
Productivity at the Steel Works has seen a
phenomenal improvement from what it was about a
decade about. In FY 95, Tata Steel had produced
93#t/man/year. In 2005, it touched 355
t/man/year. The Company’s 1.8 MTPA expansion is
in place and it is gearing up to create a 10
MTPA capacity at Jamshedpur. |
