| Category | Q1'9-10 | YoY |
| Crude Steel | 1.409 * | 45% |

| Rolled Products : Long | 0.186 * | 103% |
* Including the trial production of 34,000 tonnes of crude steel and 6,000 tonnes of Rolled Products Long.
The impressive growth in Crude steel and Rolled long products was mainly on account of production from the 2.8 MTPA expansion project at Vijayanagar works.
The company also showed a significant growth over corresponding period in the previous year in Rolled flat products even after considering the lower production of HR Coils due to shutdown of Hot strip mill at Vijayanagar works for 17 days for modernization during June 2008.
