Tata Steel Reports 8% Rise in India Sales for Q3 FY25

Tata Steel reported an 8% increase in sales in India for the December 2024 quarter, reaching 5.29 million tonnes (mt), compared to 4.88 mt in the same period last year. The growth was attributed to fresh capacity additions and higher export volumes. Internationally, sales in the Netherlands grew to 1.53 mt from 1.30 mt, while sales in the UK declined to 0.56 mt from 0.64 mt due to operational changes. In Thailand, sales rose to 0.28 mt from 0.25 mt. Production in India increased by 6% to 5.68 mt, supported by new capacity at the Kalinganagar facility, which added 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in September. The new blast furnace is currently producing 8,000 tonnes daily and is being ramped up to full capacity. In the Netherlands, production rose to 1.76 mt from 1.19 mt, while UK production ceased as the company transitions to an electric arc furnace for cleaner steelmaking. The UK Government has approved duty-free slab imports for Tata Steel from various countries, including India. Production in Thailand was marginally lower at 0.26 mt compared to 0.27 mt. Tata Steel also commissioned a Continuous Annealing Line in December, part of the 2.2 MTPA Cold Rolling Mill (CRM) complex at Kalinganagar, with approvals from major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Sales in the automotive and special products segment rose 3% to 2.3 mt. The Tata Tiscon brand, focused on the real estate sector, saw a 20% year-on-year increase in sales, while Tata Steelium, catering to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), reported a 7% rise. The company’s e-commerce platform for individual home builders, Tata Steel Aashiyana, posted a 37% growth in revenues, reaching Rs 21.54 billion. Additionally, Tata Steel Netherlands’ liquid steel production included 0.12 mt from the UK operations, according to the company. (Business Line)
