In news from the metal sector, Tata Steel was among the top buzzing stocks today.

Delivery volumes of Tata Steel India fell by 5.2% year on year (YoY) to 4.4 MT in the third quarter.

During the December 2022 quarter, crude steel production was up 1.5% quarter on quarter (QoQ) while overall deliveries were lower by 4% QoQ as an increase in domestic deliveries was offset by lower exports.

During the quarter, crude steel production and deliveries remained broadly similar on QoQ basis amidst supply chain issues in steel-consuming sectors including chip shortages faced by the automotive sector.

Separately, Tata Steel said that the company's equity stake in Medica TS Hospital (MTSHPL) has increased from 26% to 51% on 7 January 2022.
