Tata Steel's Q4 FY25 consolidated revenue was INR 56,218 crore, up 5% QoQ, with EBITDA of INR 6,762 crore (12% margin, +100bps QoQ). India EBITDA margin remained strong at 21%, while Netherlands turned EBITDA positive at EUR 14 million. U.K. posted an EBITDA loss of GBP 80 million, though fixed costs improved. The company achieved record annual crude steel production of 21.7 million tons and deliveries of 20.9 million tons. Management guided for INR 3,000/ton higher Indian steel prices in Q1 FY26 and targeted INR 11,500 crore in cost savings across geographies for FY26. Key risks include continued Chinese export pressure and uncertainty in European regulatory costs. The U.K. transition to EAF is on track with planning approvals received.
टाटा स्टील की चौथी तिमाही (जनवरी-मार्च 2025) की कुल आय ₹56,218 करोड़ रही, जो पिछली तिमाही से 5% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी ने ₹6,762 करोड़ का EBITDA (कमाई) कमाया, जो आय का 12% है। भारत में मुनाफा 21% रहा, जबकि नीदरलैंड्स में पहली बार मुनाफा हुआ। ब्रिटेन में घाटा हुआ, लेकिन खर्च कम हुआ। कंपनी ने रिकॉर्ड 2.17 करोड़ टन स्टील बनाया और 2.09 करोड़ टन बेचा। आगे, भारत में स्टील के दाम ₹3,000 प्रति टन बढ़ने का अनुमान है। कंपनी FY26 में ₹11,500 करोड़ की बचत करेगी। चीन से सस्ते स्टील का दबाव और यूरोप के नियमों में बदलाव जोखिम हैं। ब्रिटेन में नई तकनीक (EAF) का काम शुरू हो गया है।
