In terms of liquid steel production, Tata Steel Netherlands reported 1.68 million tonnes for the quarter, down from 1.76 million tonnes in the third quarter of 2025, but virtually unchanged from 1.67 million tonnes in the previous quarter. For the first nine months, this figure was 5.05 million tons, compared with 5.12 million tons for the same period in 2025.
