Tata Steel reports higher consolidated profits for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 and its board has approved a large expansion at Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd (NINL). The company’s consolidated net profit rises year-on-year to ₹2,385.24 crore, according to its exchange filing, up from ₹2,007.36 crore in the year-ago quarter. Total consolidated income increases to ₹61,026.97 crore from ₹53,466.79 crore, with revenue growth from Tata Steel’s Indian operations contributing to improved profitability. While the June-quarter profit is higher than the same period last year, it is lower than the ₹2,965 crore net profit reported in the preceding quarter ended 31 March 2026. In a separate corporate action, Tata Steel’s board clears a capacity addition of 4.8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) at NINL, currently a wholly owned subsidiary. The expansion is estimated at capital expenditure of ₹33,873 crore. NINL is also in the process of being amalgamated with Tata Steel Limited, and the planned capacity increase is expected to strengthen Tata Steel’s long-products portfolio.
