Tata Steel Q1 PAT jumps 116% to ₹2,078 cr on cost cuts, better realisations
Total revenue on a consolidated basis in Q1FY26 was ₹53,178.12 crore, down 2.91 per cent Y-o-Y. Both revenue and net profit came in ahead of Bloomberg consensus estimate at ₹51,409 crore and 1,786 crore, respectively.
Sequentially, revenue was down 5.41 per cent and net profit up 59.72 per cent.
Commenting on the company's performance, T V Narendran, managing director and chief executive officer (MD&CEO), said: 'Tata Steel has demonstrated robust profitability across geographies despite volatile global macro conditions and heightened uncertainty. The strong improvement in our Q1 performance on Q-o-Q (quarter-on-quarter) as well as Y-o-Y basis was driven by an increase in our net steel realisations and the planned cost takeouts.'
Domestic operations
Tata Steel India reported a turnover of ₹31,137 crore in Q1FY26 compared to ₹33,195 crore in Q1FY25. Reported profit after tax (PAT) was at ₹3,454 crore as against ₹3,337 crore in the year-ago period.
Quarterly production and deliveries in India were affected by maintenance shutdowns in Jamshedpur and Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited. The company expects these to normalise in the coming quarters.
'In India, our large distribution network with 25,000+ dealers & distributors and our focus on delivering customer requirements helped us in selling higher value-added products, and in creating value from the new facilities we commissioned,' Narendran said.
Tata Steel's 5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) blast furnace at Kalinganagar was ramping up well, the company said. It has commissioned one of the two continuous galvanising lines in the 2.2 mtpa CRM (cold rolling mill) complex.
In Ludhiana, construction for the electric arc furnace (EAF) was underway. In the UK, the official start of construction for the EAF was marked by a groundbreaking ceremony on July 14.
Tata Steel's capital expenditure (capex) during the quarter stood at ₹3,829 crore.
Tata Steel Europe
In the UK, revenues were at 536 million pound for the quarter. Ebitda loss at 41 million pound narrowed from a loss of 80 million pound in Q4FY25. Deliveries at 0.60 mt were marginally lower on subdued demand.
Ebitda stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.
Revenues from the Netherlands operations were at 1,519 million euro for the quarter while Ebitda was 64 million euro. The Ebitda in Q4FY25 had stood at 14 million euro. Liquid steel production was 1.70 mt and deliveries were 1.50 mt.
On decarbonisation in the Netherlands, Tata Steel said in its results disclosure that intense discussions between the management and the Netherlands government are ongoing with relation to a "tailor-made approach" for support to address the reduction of carbon emissions and environmental concerns of the local community and authorities.
Tata Steel expects the Dutch government to provide a certain level of financial support, which is the subject of discussions between the company, Tata Steel Netherlands, and the government there.
Cost transformation programme
Koushik Chatterjee, executive director and chief financial officer (ED&CFO), said: 'Tata Steel has delivered resilient performance and sequentially improved margins by around 200 basis points (bps) despite challenging demand and uncertainty on trade tariffs.'
He also said that the cost transformation programme, focused on multiple levers — including operating KPIs (key performance indicators), supply chain, and procurement — had delivered around ₹2,900 crore during the quarter. 'We remain focused on cost optimisation, operational improvements, and working capital management to maximise cashflows,' Chatterjee said.
As of June 30, 2025, net debt stood at ₹84,835 crore and group liquidity at ₹43,578 crore, with cash and cash equivalents of ₹14,118 crore.

ump eyes 100% tariff on chips, firms investing in US to be exempted
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (local time) he would impose a 100 per cent tariff on imported semiconductors in a sweeping move to push tech manufacturing back to the US. However, companies that are building, or have committed to build production facilities in the US, will be exempted. Trump made the announcement at the White House alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook, where the iPhone maker also unveiled a new $100 billion US investment plan. Trump said the exemption would apply even to firms that have not yet started production, so long as their US projects are underway. 'We'll be putting a tariff of approximately 100 per cent on chips and semiconductors. But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge,' Trump said, reported Bloomberg. Apple wins exemption, pledges new US investments Apple emerged as the immediate beneficiary of the exemption, with Cook announcing a new $100 billion US investment plan designed to bring more of the company's manufacturing home. The expanded plan includes: This investment builds on Apple's previously announced $500 billion plan, bringing its cumulative US commitment to $600 billion. The earlier plan includes a server manufacturing plant in Houston, a supplier academy in Michigan, and expanded supplier contracts across the country. Tariff threat looms for global chip supply chain Despite Apple's win, Trump's surprise announcement has sent ripples through the tech industry, which remains unsure how broadly the tariffs will be implemented. Trump has so far spared consumer electronics like smartphones, monitors, and laptops from his nation-specific reciprocal tariffs. However, he hinted these items could be targeted next, especially if they contain semiconductors. Trump confirmed the chip tariff is just one piece of a broader import crackdown, with new levies coming Thursday and more potentially next week. Winners and losers: Who's exempt, who's exposed If Trump's exemption applies broadly to firms with US-based operations, several major chipmakers may avoid penalties. These include: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) Samsung Electronics Intel Corp Texas Instruments Micron Technology GlobalFoundries All have either operational factories or active expansion plans in the US. However, firms like Nvidia and AMD, which rely on outsourced chip manufacturing primarily in East Asia, may face challenges. While Nvidia has pledged significant US investments, it remains part of a globally complex supply chain that can't be quickly reshored. India, Vietnam targeted with new levies Trump's tariff agenda also includes steep duties on countries crucial to Apple's manufacturing network. India, a major production base for iPhones, will be hit with a 50 per cent tariff, half aimed at trade imbalances and the rest as retaliation for India's Russian energy imports. Vietnam, which makes Apple Watches, iPads and MacBooks, is already facing a 20 per cent tariff. Cook navigates Trump ties, tariffs Cook's long-standing ties with Trump may have helped Apple secure a favourable outcome. He attended Trump's 2025 inauguration, donated to the president's inaugural committee, and has held multiple meetings with the administration, including one earlier this year when Trump threatened a 25 per cent tariff if Apple didn't shift iPhone assembly to the US. Cook responded by noting that while final iPhone assembly would continue abroad 'for a while,' many components were already being made in the US. Trump appeared pleased with the response. 'Look, he's not making this kind of an investment anywhere in the world, not even close,' Trump said.
