SAIL Jumps 3% Today. Here's Why.

In news from the steel sector, shares of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) rose as much as 3% on 5 July on the report of the steel union proposing a mega public sector undertaking by merging the company with three others.

In a report by Economic Times, the Steel Executives Federation of India (SEFI) has reportedly urged the steel ministry to merge state-run Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), Ferro Scrap Nigam Limited (FSNL) and Nagarnar steel plant with SAIL.

As per the report, the steel body emphasised the potential benefits in achieving capacity expansion targets and addressing resource challenges faced by the individual firms, while questioning the wisdom of FSNL disinvestment.

If the merger proposition goes through, SAIL's EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, will likely jump 55% from Rs 130 bn to Rs 200 bn and capacity would increase by 50%.

It will be able to avoid massive capex of Rs 1 tn for organic expansion and manage with minimum capex requirements.
