JSW Steel is currently operating its main 10-million tonne Vijayanagar
plant in southern Karnataka state at 90 per cent capacity, a senior
official said.
The company has tied up iron ore supplies for the plant till
May, he said.
JSW Steel cut its production and sales forecast for the current fiscal year by
14 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively, late last year, due to acute
shortage of iron ore after India's top court put an interim ban on mining in
Karnataka.
The company was operating its Vijayanagar plant at around two-thirds capacity
late last year.
