Tata Steel reported a strong operational performance in Q3 FY26, led by its India operations, which delivered ‘best-ever quarterly’ crude steel production and delivery volumes. Tata Steel India achieved its highest quarterly crude steel production of 6.34 million tonnes, marking a 12% growth on QoQ and YoY basis, supported by higher output from the Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar facilities.
Improved production also translated into robust deliveries, with India deliveries crossed 6 million tonnes for the first time at 6.04 million tonnes, up 9% QoQ and 14% YoY. Strong domestic demand played a key role, especially across value-added segments. For the first nine months of FY26, India production and deliveries grew 6% YoY, reflecting steady execution and capacity utilisation
Among various business segments, ‘Automotive & Special Products’ recorded its best-ever quarterly volumes of ~0.9 million tonnes, driven by rapid OEM approvals for high-tensile and specialty steel. ‘Branded Products & Retail’ surpassed the 2 million tonne quarterly volumes for the first time, supported by well-established brands such as Tata Tiscon, Tata Astrum, and Tata Steelium. The ‘Industrial Products & Projects’ segment also remained resilient, with Engineering achieving its best-ever 9-month volumes, aided by international certifications in Oil & Gas and Shipbuilding.
Tata Steel continued to strengthen its downstream and digital presence. Tubes, Tinplate, and Wires segments posted healthy growth, while e-commerce platforms ‘Tata Steel Aashiyana’ and ‘DigECA’ generated a GMV of ₹2,380 crore, up a strong 68% YoY, highlighting growing digital adoption.
Internationally, Tata Steel Netherlands reported stable production but slightly lower deliveries due to seasonal and weak market conditions. UK operations continued customer servicing through downstream processing while progressing on the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) project, a key step in long-term decarbonisation. Tata Steel Thailand saw improved YoY deliveries, supported by strong domestic rebar demand.
Overall, Tata Steel’s Q3 FY2026 update highlights operational strength in India, improving product mix, strong domestic demand, and growing value-added and digital channels, positioning the company well despite global steel market challenges.
