Mr. T V Narendran, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director:

The global operating environment remained challenging with persistent overhang of tariffs, geopolitical tensions and elevated steel exports. Despite this, Tata Steel delivered a resilient performance with the EBITDA margin improving for the second consecutive quarter. In India, while the crude steel production rose 8%, deliveries grew at a higher rate of 17% QoQ as our marketing franchise enabled us to scale effectively. We continue to strengthen our market leadership across key segments, underpinned by capacity expansion and a focused downstream strategy. Kalinganagar’s continuous annealing line and galvanising line have expanded our hi-end product offerings to Automotive. Our new 0.5 MTPA combi mill will further amplify this advantage and strengthen our presence in  specialty steel segment. Our well-established retail brand, Tata Tiscon grew by 27% QoQ and we continue to consolidate our position in engineering and construction solutions. On the digital front, our e-commerce platforms such as Aashiyana and DigECA achieved Gross Merchandise Value of Rs 1,980 crores for the quarter and more than tripled on YoY basis. As for overseas operations, UK deliveries were 0.57 million tons and Netherlands deliveries were 1.54 million tons. We remain focused on transitioning our UK and Netherlands businesses to economically and environmentally viable operations. In September 2025, we signed a non-binding Joint Letter of Intent with the Government of Netherlands and Province of North-Holland on an integrated health measures and decarbonisation project. I am happy to share that Tata Steel became the only Indian company to be recognised by worldsteel for Safety and Health excellence, in process safety management, for three years in a row.”

Mr. Koushik Chatterjee, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer:

“Tata Steel has continued to perform despite the challenging operating environment. For the quarter ended 30th September 2025, EBITDA margin improved by 145 bps QoQ and 280 bps for the half year, reflecting operational strength and cost discipline. Consolidated revenues for the quarter stood at Rs 58,689 crores, while EBITDA was Rs 9,106 crores, translating to a margin of ~16% or Rs 11,518 per ton. This performance was underpinned by sharp focus on cost transformation program, which delivered around Rs 2,561 crores for the quarter and around Rs 5,450 crores for the half year. India performance has been aided by strong growth in volumes. NINL, our strategic lever to expand in long products business, generated EBITDA, of around Rs 260 crores. Netherlands EBITDA was higher by €28 million QoQ, as we make progress on restoring competitiveness. However, UK EBITDA declined by £24 million on QoQ basis due to subdued prices on account of UK safeguard quotas exceeding prevalent demand. We remain focused on volume growth in India, strengthening our raw material linkages and optimising capital allocation. We are closely monitoring policy developments in EU and UK and will look to prioritise, optimise and sequence the decarbonisation capex spend such that it is affordable to all stakeholders. Overall, operating cash flows before capex and dividend were ~Rs 7,000 crores and we have spent Rs 3,250 crores towards capital expenditure in the quarter and Rs 7,079 crores during the half year. In line with efforts to optimise debt portfolio, we have reduced TSUK debt by £540 million during the quarter and our consolidated gross debt has decreased by around Rs 3,300 cores QoQ to Rs 95,643 crores. On 12th November, Tata Steel executed a share purchase agreement with BlueScope Steel to acquire the balance 50% stake in Tata BlueScope Steel Private Limited. This is in line with our objective to grow the downstream portfolio. Following the acquisition, TBSPL will become a 100% subsidiary of Tata Steel. We remain committed to operational excellence, cost optimisation, and disciplined working capital management to maximise cash flows.”
