Tata Steel Limited on Thursday reported a strong operational performance for the second quarter of FY26, with its India crude steel production rising 8% sequentially and 7% year-on-year to 5.67 million tons, aided by normalization of operations following the completion of the G Blast furnace relining at Jamshedpur.
