Tata Steel India reports 4.88 million tons delivery in Q3FY24; notes sustained growth in Indian steel demand

Tata Steel India deliveries stood at 4.88 million tons and were ‘best-ever 3Q’ sales.

The increase on QoQ and YoY basis was primarily driven by the rise in domestic deliveries (+3% QoQ and +10% YoY) given the continued strength in Indian steel demand.
