Vizag: At 21,012 MT, RINL records highest-ever hot metal production in a single day

RINL's Visakhapatnam plant recorded its highest-ever single-day hot metal production at 21,012 tonnes. Records of this kind point to blast furnaces running hard, which means steady pull on iron ore, coke, fluxes and alloys — and, downstream, more steel flowing into a market that watches every supply signal. The milestone is also a marker in RINL's operational turnaround story, showing the coastal plant sweating its assets at a time when every public-sector steelmaker is under pressure to demonstrate efficiency.
