operational milestone by registering its best-ever monthly coil rolling
performance in June 2026, reaffirming the plant's commitment to operational
excellence.
During the month,
HSM-2 rolled 10,759 hot-rolled (HR) coils, surpassing its previous record of

In-Charge (RSP), said, "The performance of the Mill is directly linked
with the prosperity of the Plant." He also exhorted the workforce to make
all-out efforts to achieve the target of 30 lakh tonnes of production during
the current financial year.
The milestone was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the entire HSM-2 collective, supported by key departments including Production Planning and Control (PPC), Roll Shop, Computer and Information Technology (C&IT), Instrumentation, Centralised Mechanical (Maintenance), Centralised Electrical (Maintenance), Design, Traffic, Energy Management, Materials Management, Water Management, Research and Control Laboratory (RCL), Contract Cell (Works), Steel Melting Shop, and the Refractory Engineering Department.
