Speaking on this occasion, CMD, SAIL said:
H1 FY'26 performance demonstrates SAIL's consistency across both operational and financial metrics. The Company has maintained high capacity utilisation for a steady production. With steely resolve and collective team efforts, we have achieved significant increase in sales volume despite the volatility in global steel markets. Coupled with the drive towards efficiency improvement and cost rationalisation, this translated into robust financial performance.
As India moves towards becoming a low-carbon economy, SAIL remains committed to contribute to this transition while ensuring sustainable profitability through product diversification, customer-centric strategies, digitalisation and envisaged expansion to supplement the ongoing efforts.
