JSW Steel has launched the Minas de Revuboè (MDR) coking coal project in Mozambique, securing access to 850 million tonnes of total reserves. The project is expected to yield 250 million tonnes of usable coking coal, with the first phase aiming for 2.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) production within 2.5 years. This strategic backward integration is designed to provide long-term supply assurance and hedge against the high volatility of global coking coal prices. The move supports JSW Steel's broader goal of reaching 50 mtpa steel capacity in India by 2030.
- MDR project holds 850 mt of reserves with a potential yield of 250 mt of usable coking coal.
- Phase 1 development expected to produce 2.4 mtpa of prime hard coking coal within 2.5 years.
- Strategically located 450 km from Beira Port and 900 km from Nacala Port for efficient export to India.
- Project aims to mitigate cost volatility for coking coal, one of the most expensive inputs in steelmaking.
- High-grade coal profile will assist in reducing carbon emissions intensity in line with sustainability goals.
JSW Steel reported a 2% YoY decline in consolidated crude steel production for February 2026, totaling 23.66 lakh tonnes.

Excluding the impact of this shutdown, Indian operations grew by approximately 8% YoY, driven by the ramp-up of JVML operations. US operations also saw a 20% decline due to weather conditions and post-upgrade ramp-ups.
