T V Narendran, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, said, "FY2026 was characterised by elevated geoeconomic uncertainty, with supply-chain and tariff-led trade disruptions impacting global steel markets. Against this backdrop, our sustained focus on operational discipline and cost transformation continued to deliver performance across our global businesses."

"We remain committed to working constructively with the regulators to find a feasible and sustainable path forward. In the last quarter, developments in West Asia began to exert pressure on supply chains and input costs, and these pressures are continuing into FY2027. We are pursuing calibrated actions to mitigate risks in this regard," he added.
