Tata Steel Q1 Profit Up 12% Amid European Headwinds
Tata Steel, a big steel company in India, made more money in the first quarter of 2024 than it did a year earlier, but it still earned less than analysts expected.
The company earned ₹2,318 crore and sold steel worth ₹60,794 crore.
It had some problems in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, where rules and a plant shutdown hurt its profits.
In India, the company had to pause some plants for maintenance, but higher steel prices helped keep its earnings strong.
Tata Steel plans to spend a lot of money to grow its factories and make more steel in the future.
Net profit rose 12% YoY to ₹2,318.35 crore, missing Bloomberg’s ₹2,501 crore estimate.
Revenue climbed 14% YoY to ₹60,794 crore; EBITDA grew 25% to ₹9,370 crore.
European operations, especially in the Netherlands, faced regulatory and operational disruptions, hurting profitability.
Domestic production fell due to maintenance shutdowns, but higher steel prices and a richer product mix preserved margins.
The company approved ₹33,873 crore capital expenditure for capacity expansion at Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited.
