Tata Steel Q1 net profit plummets 93%

The consolidated net profit of Tata Steel plummeted 93% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 5.3 bn in the first quarter of 2023-24, weighed down by its Europe operations.

The company's net profit was Rs 77.1 bn in the same quarter a year ago.

Profit in the quarter was also dented by a non-cash deferred tax charge on account of buy-in transactions at the British Steel Pension Scheme. With this, the insurance buy-in of the British Steel Pension Scheme has been completed, successfully de-risking Tata Steel UK.

The consolidated total revenue from operations came in at Rs 594.9 bn, which is 6.3% lower than Rs 634.3 bn reported in the year-ago period. The revenue clocked is also around 5.5% lower against Rs 629.6 bn reported in Q4FY23.

During the quarter, global economic recovery continued to face headwinds affecting commodity prices, including steel. In India, domestic steel demand continued to grow and was up around 10% YoY, but steel spot prices moderated in line with global cues.
