What the record says.
JSW Steel reported a strong operational quarter with consolidated revenue of INR 45,991 crore and adjusted EBITDA of INR 6,620 crore (margin 14.4%). PAT surged to INR 2,410 crore, boosted by deferred tax asset recognition. Domestic sales grew 10% YoY, with value-added products at a record 61% of mix. The company announced a 5 MTPA greenfield plant in Odisha (INR 31,600 crore capex) and a JV with JFE Steel for BPSL, unlocking INR 32,000 crore cash. Management expects Q4 margins to improve on recovering steel prices (up INR 3,500/ton since Dec) and seasonally strong demand, despite coking coal cost headwinds of $15-20/ton. FY27 demand growth guided at 7-9%. Risk: Chinese steel export surge could keep Asian prices subdued.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects to broadly achieve full-year guidance for production and sales, with Q4 volumes similar to Q3.
- Steel prices have recovered INR 3,500/ton since end-December, offsetting higher coking coal costs ($15-20/ton increase).
- Management projects India steel demand growth of 7-9% for FY2027.
- Total capex for FY26 expected in the range of INR 15,000-16,000 crore.
Risks flagged
- Chinese steel exports surged 14% to 133.5M tons in CY2025, pressuring regional prices. Anti-involution measures may take time to have effect.
- CBAM regulations could increase costs for exports to Europe (1.2-1.3M tons annually). Management has not yet quantified the impact and is awaiting clarity.
- Despite captive mines, 50% of iron ore requirement will be from market. Any supply disruption or price increase could impact costs.
- INR 100,000 crore capex over 4-5 years could increase net debt, though BPSL cash inflow provides some cushion.
Key quotes
- This transaction will enable a cash flow of INR 32,000 crore and a substantial deleveraging of about INR 37,000 crore for JSW Steel.
- We have been more or less at 90% or above across quarters.
- Looking ahead, steel prices have begun to recover in end December and have continued an uptrend in January.
