Tata Steel’s net sales stood at Rs 43,544 crores in the Q2FY19, surging 34% y-o-y due to better realisations and increase in volumes and Bhushan Steel contributing for the first full quarter. The consolidated Ebitda increased sharply by 93% to Rs 9,000 crores.

Tata Steel’s India operations Ebitda per tonne was recorded at six years highest to Rs 9,244. The company’s Ebitda per tonne on a consolidated basis also witnessed a healthy growth and stood at Rs 12,131.

The company management said that Bhushan Steel’s total deliveries jumped 34% sequentially to 1.14 million tons as improved marketing strategy helped in inventory reduction. Revenue increased to Rs 5,862 crore compared with Rs 4,624 crore in Q1FY19.
