Tata Steel’s Tomorrow

After Tata Steel’s Q4, you may wonder what the results bring for the future of the Company. With the Company’s liquidity remaining at a robust ₹31,767 Cr, Tata Steel has foretold several areas of progress in operations and business in FY25. FY24 and Q4 have been times of transition combined with progress for Tata Steel in the face of challenges in the overall business environment. The Company has delivered improved margins and continued to expand its footprint concerning volumes and its product portfolio. Domestic deliveries were the best ever at around 19 million tons and up 9% YoY with broad-based improvement across selected market segments. Automotive volumes were aided by higher deliveries of hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel to auto OEMs while the retail brand Tata Tiscon went over 2 million tons annually. The expansion of plants like the 5 MTPA capacity extension at Kalinganagar is also on track. The Company continues on its path to undertake multiple initiatives across geographies to progress its widespread sustainability journey.
