Management Comments:

Mr. T V Narendran, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director:
"Our global operating environment continues to be shaped by tariffs, geopolitical shifts and policy divergence. Steel markets were impacted by elevated finished steel exports from China, which at 119 million tons surpassed the 2015 peak. Against this backdrop, Tata Steel delivered a strong performance in this quarter, with India crude steel production rising 12% while deliveries grew faster at 14% YoY, surpassing the 6 million tons mark in a quarter for the first time. We continued to strengthen our market leadership across chosen segments, supported by capacity expansion and a focused downstream strategy. Automotive volumes grew 20% YoY, while our retail vertical gained further momentum. Tata Tiscon continued its growth, and our e-commerce platforms, Aashiyana and DigECA, achieved Gross Merchandise Value of Rs 2,380 crores for the quarter, up 68% YoY. Within the downstream portfolio, our tubes and wires businesses delivered their best-ever quarterly performance, supported by capacity additions, a richer product mix and dominant share in high-value infrastructure projects. We also strengthened our colour-coated portfolio through the majority acquisition in Tata Bluescope Steel Private Limited, which has now transitioned to Tata Steel Colors Private Limited. Looking ahead, the proposed 4.8 MTPA expansion at NINL and the 0.75 MTPA EAF at Ludhiana will significantly enhance our long products portfolio. At the same time, our strategic partnership in Maharashtra will fortify raw material needs beyond 2030 and help cater to the growing demand in western and southern India. In our overseas operations, deliveries stood at 0.52 million tons in the UK and 1.40 million tons in the Netherlands. Supportive policy frameworks are vital to transition to a more sustainable operating model. While the recent progress in Europe has supported sentiment, the UK market continues to be depressed, and the quota framework needs to be revised to reflect underlying market conditions."

Mr. Koushik Chatterjee, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer:
"Tata Steel delivered consistent performance despite a challenging operating environment. For the nine months ended 31st December 2025, EBITDA margin improved by around 300 bps YoY, reflecting strong operational execution and sustained cost discipline. Our cost transformation program, focused on multiple levers including operating KPIs, supply chain efficiencies and procurement, has delivered savings of around Rs 3,000 crores for the quarter and around Rs 8,600 crores for the first nine months of the financial year. During the quarter, consolidated EBITDA was Rs 8,309 crores, translating to a margin of around 15%. In India, domestic steel prices were at multi-year lows weighing on the steel spot spreads. Despite this, our India operations delivered an EBITDA margin of ~23% aided by value led growth and cost optimisation. Both in UK and Netherlands, volumes moderated on QoQ basis. UK performance was adversely impacted by subdued demand dynamics while the Netherlands delivered an EBITDA of €55 million. Overall, operating cash flows before capex were Rs 10,345 crores for the quarter. Our consolidated Net debt declined to Rs 81,834 crores. Our group liquidity remains strong at Rs 44,062 crores, which includes cash & cash equivalents of Rs 10,765 crores. In India, we remain focused on volume growth, investments in downstream and strengthening our raw material linkages. UK market conditions continue to be pressured by subdued demand, while policy interventions are taking longer than anticipated to materialise. We are closely monitoring the situation and the evolving tariff framework and CBAM in EU, which are pivotal for rebalancing EU market dynamics. We remain focused on prioritising, optimising and sequencing our capital allocation to balance investment needs with returns, while maintaining financial discipline and long-term value creation for stakeholders."
