New Delhi, January 30, 2026.
Under the leadership of Amarendu Prakash, Chairman and Managing Director of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), the Maharatna steel major has reported a resilient operational performance and sharply improved profitability for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (9M FY’26).
SAIL’s financial results reflect a clear turnaround driven by higher volumes, operational efficiency and prudent financial management. During the nine-month period, crude steel production increased by 2 percent to 14.35 million tonnes, while sales volume registered a robust growth of 16.3 percent, supported by improved market penetration, stronger retail outreach and inventory liquidation.
Revenue from operations rose by around 9–10 percent to ₹79,997 crore, broadly in line with volume growth. Most notably, Profit After Tax (PAT) surged by nearly 60 percent year-on-year to ₹1,554 crore, highlighting the impact of cost optimisation, operating leverage and disciplined execution. EBITDA stood at ₹8,384 crore, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) improved to ₹2,010 crore during the period.
Speaking on the occasion, Amarendu Prakash said that SAIL has delivered a sustained improvement in profitability in 9M FY’26, driven by higher volumes, robust domestic demand and improved market reach. He emphasised that despite volatility in input costs and a competitive pricing environment, the company was able to maintain operating profitability through better product mix, cost discipline and efficiency across operations.
A key highlight of the period was the strengthening of SAIL’s balance sheet, with a reduction in debt of close to ₹5,000 crore during the nine months, reflecting a strong focus on financial prudence under Prakash’s leadership.
The latest performance underscores Amarendu Prakash’s strategic focus on volume-led growth, cost control and market expansion, positioning SAIL on a firmer footing for sustainable profitability and long-term growth.
