Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd has resumed full operations at its Jejuri plant in Maharashtra after a planned 15-day suspension starting December 26, 2025, for facility upgrades. This move enhances production capabilities in the steel sector amid steady market demand. The development signals operational efficiency gains for the Kirloskar Group company.
The Jejuri plant, a key steelmaking facility for Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd (KFIL), halted operations temporarily to implement upgrade activities aimed at boosting efficiency and capacity. The suspension, disclosed to BSE under SEBI Regulation 30 by Company Secretary Mayuresh Gharpure, aligned with the company's capex strategy in the competitive iron castings and pig iron market. As of January 13, 2026, normal production has restarted, supporting segments like pig iron (609,000 MTPA capacity) and steelmaking (350,000 MTPA).
