This was after an unplanned cost impact of ~Rs. 1,200 crore due to the West Asia conflict affecting energy, freight, and raw material costs.
  • India Business: Crude steel production was 5.76 million tons. Deliveries were 5.17 million tons. Realizations increased by Rs. 5,990/ton QoQ. India EBITDA was Rs. 9,900 crore (up 32% YoY), with an EBITDA per ton of Rs. 19,162 (up from Rs. 15,907 in Q4). Standalone EBITDA margin was 26-27%. Segment highlights included best-ever Q1 volumes in automotive & specialty (21% YoY growth in high-end sales), 33% YoY growth for Tata Tiscon, and digital platform GMV of ~Rs. 2,200 crore (up 61% YoY).
  • UK Business: Deliveries were 0.5 million tons. EBITDA loss narrowed to -£27 million from -£48 million in Q4. A fire at the Port Talbot pickle line in June impacted volumes by 10,000 tons (£5M EBITDA impact). Construction of the 3 MTPA scrap-based EAF is ongoing, though a delay in the high-voltage connection from National Grid is being mitigated.
  • Netherlands Business (TSN): Liquid steel production was 1.55 million tons; deliveries were 1.4 million tons. The Direct Sheet Plant (DSP), representing 20% of volumes, was shut down for almost the entire quarter due to chrome emission exceedances, significantly impacting performance. EBITDA was ~€4 million. An extended 4-week trial for the DSP was approved to start on August 5th.
  • Strategic Decisions & Capex: The Board approved the final investment for a 4.8 MTPA expansion at NINL (Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited) at a cost of Rs. 33,873 crore, taking the site's capacity to 6.2 MTPA.
