Net debt decreased by approximately Rs 2,285 crore to Rs 80,144 crore, reflecting the management’s commitment to financial strength and capital efficiency. The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of Rs 4 per equity share.
India Operations Highlights

Revenue from India operations stood at Rs 1,40,302 crore with a strong EBITDA margin of 24%. Key strategic developments included the commissioning of a 0.75 MTPA scrap-based Electric Arc Furnace in Ludhiana, designed to achieve low carbon emission intensity, and progress on the 4.8 MTPA expansion at Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (NINL).
Global Developments and Sustainability
While European operations face a complex regulatory environment, Tata Steel Netherlands reported a near-tripling of its EBITDA on a year-on-year basis, and the UK operations saw losses halve during the period.
