Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), which entered its golden jubilee year of production in February, ended the year 2007-08 with new landmarks in performance by producing 13.04 million tonnes of saleable steel for the first time. This was a consequence of several initiatives like utilising full potential of available assets and human resources, R&D interventions, implementation of de-bottlenecking schemes, etc. Highest-ever production of 1.2 MT of saleable steel in March 2008 was the highlight of this record annual performance, matched by record March sales of 1.3 million tonnes.
