Tata Steel released their quarterly report on Monday, May 12 and reported a strong finish to the March 2025 quarter. The company posted a consolidated net profit of Rs. 1,201 crore — beating analyst estimates and more than doubling its profit from the same period last year. The growth came largely from a jump in other income and a drop in exceptional losses. Other income rose to Rs. 461 crore compared to Rs. 175.9 crore a year ago, while exceptional losses shrank to Rs. 388.6 crore from Rs. 594.5 crore.
Despite slightly weaker revenue numbers, the company maintained steady operational performance. Revenue for the quarter came in at Rs. 56,218 crore, just below the expected Rs. 56,412 crore and down 4.2% from last year’s Rs. 58,687 crore. Tata Steel EBITDA margin performance stood at Rs. 6,559.2 crore, close to market estimates and nearly flat compared to Rs. 6,601 crore a year ago. The EBITDA margin improved slightly to 11.7%, showing stronger efficiency.
In its India operations, EBITDA per tone reached Rs. 13,264 — higher than expected, though lower compared to Rs. 14,774 last quarter and Rs. 15,279 in the same quarter last year. This suggests some pressure on profitability per unit, even tough the overall business remained stable.
