The Sinter Plant continued its upward trajectory, achieving a record daily production of 15,590 tonnes and a monthly output of 4.14 lakh tonnes, operating at over 105 per cent of rated capacity. The Blast Furnace also registered exceptional performance with a daily hot metal production of 11,315 tonnes and a monthly output of 2.80 lakh tonnes, exceeding 101 per cent capacity utilisation. Notably, NSL achieved its lowest-ever average fuel rate of 519 kg per tonne of hot metal, using only sinter and ore, and recorded the highest monthly average PCI rate of 164 kg per tonne, placing it among the best-performing steel plants in the country.

The Steel Melting Shop and Thin Slab Caster–Hot Strip Mill also delivered their best results to date, with record monthly production of 2.03 lakh tonnes of HR coils, 2.09 lakh tonnes of crude steel and 2.15 lakh tonnes of liquid steel. NSL also achieved its highest-ever converter lining life of 4,799 heats and successfully introduced two new steel grades for commercial production. Highlighting these achievements, CMD Shri Amitava Mukherjee said the consistent record-breaking performance reflects the dedication and discipline of the workforce, adding that NSL is well positioned to contribute to India’s steel growth story through technology-driven efficiency, an expanding product portfolio and a strong commitment to nation-building.

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.

Record Production Achievements on 14th April, 2025 by NSL:

In line with our commitment to sustainable and cost-effective operations, NSL’s blast furnace is equipped with an advanced Pulverised Coal Injection (PCI) system designed to inject 150 kg of coal per tonne of hot metal (kg/THM). Notably, our operations team has already achieved and stabilized injection rates beyond the design threshold, optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing dependency on coke, a significant step toward greener steel production.

Overcoming delays and logistical hurdles, the team demonstrated exceptional planning, execution, and operational control to not only stabilize the plant but elevate it to a forward-looking steel producer in India’s steel sector within months of commissioning.
