Tata Steel on Friday reported an 824 per cent jump in its consolidated profit to Rs 2,730.37 crore for the third quarter ended December 2026, on the back of increased income. Its total income in October-December 2025 rose to Rs 57,503.49 crore, compared with Rs 53,869.33 crore in the year-ago period.
It had reported a profit of Rs 295.49 crore in the October-December period of the preceding 2024-25 financial year, the company said in an exchange filing.
Tata Steel group is among the country’s top global steel companies with an annual crude steel capacity of 35 million tonnes per annum.
EBITDA surged 38.9% year-on-year to Rs 8,199 crore in the quarter, compared with Rs 5,903 crore in the corresponding period last year. The EBITDA margin expanded
sharply to 14.4% from 11% a year ago, aided by stronger operating leverage and improved profitability.
The Tata Group company said the notification of the four new Labour Codes by the Government of India resulted in an exceptional charge of Rs 61.11 crore on a standalone basis and Rs 81.79 crore on a consolidated basis, based on its current assessment.
Commenting on the operating environment, T V Narendran, chief executive officer and managing director, said, “Our global operating environment continues to be shaped by tariffs, geopolitical shifts and policy divergence.”
Steel markets remained under pressure due to elevated finished steel exports from China, which rose to 119 million tonnes, surpassing the previous peak recorded in 2015. Despite these headwinds, Tata Steel posted a strong quarterly performance, with crude steel production in India increasing 12% year-on-year, while deliveries grew faster at 14% YoY, crossing the 6-million-tonne mark in a quarter for the first time.
