By producing 29,97,091 tonnes of Sinter and by achieving an average oven-pushing of 87.7 per day, the Sinter Plants and the Coke Ovens Battery-6 also recorded their highest-ever performance.

Many downstream mills too performed exceedingly well by recording growth over their production performance in the Corresponding Period Last Year (CPLY). The Plate Mill rolled out 2,30,506 tonnes of plates, New Plate Mill recorded production of 4,08,722 tonnes of plates (Best-ever performance), ERW Pipe Plant made 21,216 tonnes of ERW pipes and SW Pipe plant produced 13,571 tonnes of Spiral Weld pipes, while the Silicon Steel Mill made 20,683 tonnes of Silicon Sheets. As a result the total dispatch of Saleable Steel reached an all time high of 16,27,268 tonnes.
