MUMBAI – JSW Steel Ltd. reported a surge in its consolidated net profit for the March quarter on a year-on-year basis due to exceptional items, resulting in a net gain of INR 178.88 billion. The company reported a consolidated net profit of INR 163.70 billion in the March quarter compared with INR 15.03 billion a year ago. However, excluding the exceptional net gain, JSW Steel would have made a loss of INR 15.2 billion during the quarter.
Analysts had expected the company's net profit to be INR 25.77 billion, a figure that did not factor in the unanticipated exceptional net gain in the reporting quarter. The net exceptional gain in the March quarter was largely related to the Bhushan Power slump sale.
Operationally, the steel producer reported better numbers for the March quarter. The consolidated revenue from operations increased 14% on year to INR 511.80 billion in the March quarter, and was higher than analysts' expectation of INR 501.45 billion.
The rise in steel prices and consequent higher steel realisations in the March quarter enabled JSW Steel to report double-digit consolidated revenue growth, even as sales volumes were up by only 6% on year. The growth was mainly driven by the company's India revenue, which grew 14% on-year to INR 487.73 billion in the March quarter, while sales volume increased by 8%.
The company's consolidated total expenses increased by 9% on-year to INR 468.62 billion, while total income grew by 14% to INR 515.21 billion. This resulted in the company's adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation jumping 50% on-year to INR 97.13 billion, and the adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 19% from 14.5%. The consolidated adjusted EBITDA per tonne rose 42% on year to INR 12,264.
The profitability boost was solely due to the company's India operation, which reported a 47% on-year rise in adjusted EBITDA to INR 95.74 billion and an expansion of adjusted EBITDA margin to 19.6% from 15.2%. In contrast, the US-based Ohio unit of the company reported an EBITDA loss of $7.23 million for the March quarter. The Ohio unit had a low capacity utilisation of 46% during the reporting quarter.
For 2025-26 (Apr-Mar), the company's consolidated net profit was INR 223.16 billion, up from INR 35.04 billion in the previous year. The consolidated revenue from operations rose to INR 1.85 trillion in FY26 from INR 1.69 trillion a year earlier.
JSW Steel incurred a capital expenditure of INR 46.12 billion in the March quarter. In FY26, the total capital expenditure was INR 155.95 billion. The company announced a final dividend of INR 7.10 per share. On Thursday, shares of JSW Steel closed 1.7% higher at INR 1,296.90 on the National Stock Exchange. End
