Tata Steel's Q1 FY25 consolidated revenue stood at INR 54,771 crore with EBITDA of INR 6,822 crore, yielding a margin of 12.5%. India operations delivered strong performance with standalone EBITDA margin of 20% and per-ton EBITDA of INR 13,661, driven by lower coking coal costs and record domestic deliveries. Netherlands turned EBITDA positive at GBP 43 million post-BF6 relining stabilization, while UK losses widened to GBP 91 million due to one-off credits in prior quarter and heavy-end closure costs. The company is on track to commission Kalinganagar expansion (5 MTPA) by September, with full-year India volume guidance of 1.4 million tons incremental. Key risks include potential margin compression from Chinese steel exports and the Supreme Court ruling on mineral tax, which could increase costs. Management expects UK EBITDA to break even from Q3 FY25 post blast furnace closures.
टाटा स्टील की पहली तिमाही (अप्रैल-जून 2024) की कुल कमाई 54,771 करोड़ रुपये रही। कंपनी ने 6,822 करोड़ रुपये का EBITDA (कमाई में से खर्च घटाने के बाद बचा मुनाफा) कमाया, जो कुल कमाई का 12.5% है। भारत में कंपनी का प्रदर्शन बेहतरीन रहा - यहां EBITDA मार्जिन 20% और प्रति टन मुनाफा 13,661 रुपये रहा। इसकी वजह कोकिंग कोल (लोहा गलाने में इस्तेमाल कोयला) की कम कीमत और रिकॉर्ड बिक्री है। नीदरलैंड में कंपनी ने 43 मिलियन पाउंड का मुनाफा कमाया, जबकि UK में 91 मिलियन पाउंड का नुकसान हुआ। कंपनी सितंबर तक कलिंगनगर में अपना नया प्लांट शुरू करेगी, जिससे भारत में सालाना 1.4 मिलियन टन अतिरिक्त उत्पादन होगा। चीन से स्टील आयात और सुप्रीम कोर्ट के खनिज कर फैसले से मुनाफा कम हो सकता है। UK में अक्टूबर-दिसंबर 2024 तक घाटा खत्म होने की उम्मीद है।

UPDATED
India volume guidance of 1.4 million tons incremental for FY25
