Tata Steel BSL reports 4% YoY fall in Q3 steel production

Tata Steel BSL's crude steel production decreased marginally by 3% quarter-on-quarter and 4% year-on-year to 1,109 thousand tons in 3Q FY21, primarily due to maintenance shutdowns.

The company saw strong sales momentum in 3Q FY21 but sales volumes were constrained by lower production and lower opening inventory post very strong sales in 2QFY21.

As a result, deliveries were 1,149 thousand tons in 3Q FY21, lower by 10% on QoQ and 8% on YoY basis.

However, the steel maker increased its domestic deliveries by 7% QoQ to 947 thousand tons, and reduced exports from 31% in 2QFY21 to 18% in 3QFY21.

"We also remain focused on aggressively managing costs and cashflows while pursuing deleveraging," the company said in a BSE filing made after market hours on Friday (8 January 2020).
