SAIL, Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) recorded a series of production milestones in the month of June and for the first quarter that is April–June 2026, reflecting robust operational performance across its upstream and downstream facilities. In June, RSP achieved its best-ever June output in Blast Furnace-1, Sinter Plant-2, the Plate Mill, the New Plate Mill and the Sheet Shearing Line of the Hot Strip Mill, underscoring strong month-end momentum across critical production units. For the quarter, Sinter Plant-1 and the entire sinter plant complex registered all-time best sinter production, while Crude Steel production in Steel Melting Shop-2 reached its highest quarterly level, enabling enhanced downstream finished-steel output.

Finished-steel facilities delivered equally notable results. Both the Plate Mill and the New Plate Mill posted their best quarterly performances, and HR plate output from the Sheet Shearing Line of the Hot Strip Mill also achieved record quarterly production. The New Plate Mill produced 2,66,263 tonnes of plate in Q1, an 11.6% year-on-year growth, while HR plate output from the Sheet Shearing Line rose by 14.9% to 82,514 tonnes, reflecting healthy growth in high-value product segments. Operational improvements helped maximize the road despatch coefficient, delivering a record June road despatch of 48,564 tonnes. RSP also achieved its highest April–June direct despatch figures of 8,27,871 tonnes, surpassing the previous best of 7,95,521 tonnes.

By prioritizing both road and direct despatch, RSP has also reinforced its focus on working capital optimization. High contributions from value-added segments such as Plate Mill and HR plate production have positively impacted the plant’s bottom line.
