In August 2025, JSW produced 1.01 million tons of coal, or 84 percent of the monthly plan. The main reasons for the lower production include the effects of the endogenous fire at the Budryk Mine (declared force majeure in May), the early termination of some longwalls, and difficult geological and mining conditions. The results, however, did not negatively affect the plan's year-on-year performance. In January-August 2025, the Company produced a total of 8.44 million tons of coal, which is 100.5 percent of the plan.
The key role was played here by the earlier increase in output through the accelerated commissioning of new longwalls and the incentive measures implemented as part of the Strategic Transformation Plan.
Coal sales in August totaled 1.18 million tons (95.3 percent of the monthly plan), and year-to-date sales reached 8.40 million tons, or 100.5 percent of the plan.
In August, steam coal sales performed particularly well, with 0.25 million tons against a plan of 0.19 million tons (135.4 percent). Coking coal sales, in turn, were lower than planned (0.93 million tons vs. 1.05 million tons).
By far the best performance in August was recorded by the coke segment. Coke production was 0.30 million tons - 116.3 percent of the monthly plan, and sales reached 0.29 million tons - 110.1 percent of the target. In YTD terms the Company has produced 2.01 million tons of coke (103.9 percent of the plan) and sold 1.98 million tons (97.8 percent of the plan). These results were made possible, among other things, by increasing production capacity utilization at JSW's coking plants.
Despite operational challenges and unfavorable market developments, JSW has maintained a consistent course of action. The implementation of the production plan in the coal segment and the strong performance of the coke segment confirm that the optimization and strategic measures taken under the Strategic Transformation Plan are bearing fruit.
