2-Min Summary
Jindal Steel reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated gross revenue of ₹19,399 crore, up 28% QoQ, driven by volume ramp-up at the expanded Angul facility and a recovery in steel prices. Adjusted EBITDA stood at ₹2,647 crore with per-ton EBITDA of ₹10,093, though PAT was impacted by a ₹1,433 crore impairment on Australian assets. The company achieved record production of 2.65 million tons and sales of 2.62 million tons, up 26% and 23% YoY respectively.

FY26 has been a defining year for Jindal Steel marked by significant progress across our expansion projects which have taken our steel making capacity from 9.6 million tons per annum to 15.6 million tons per annum.
We at Jindal Steel finished our capex program. Our focus is on sweating the assets and getting returns out of them.
At the moment we are ramping up our facilities and whilst in ramp up our primary goal is first to achieve capacity utilization and once we start achieving capacity the desired capacity utilization numbers we start going towards the mix optimization.
