The steelmaker is expanding its production capacity with a 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) blast furnace at Kalinganagar, along with an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) under construction in Ludhiana. In the UK, Tata Steel has secured planning permission for its EAF project at Port Talbot, with site work expected to begin in July 2025.

This compares to Rs 611 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations, however, declined 4.2% to Rs 56,218 crore from Rs 58,687 crore in Q4FY24.

Should you buy, sell, or hold Tata Steel shares?
Emkay Global noted that the firm’s management expects 1.5 million tonnes volume growth in FY26, mainly driven by India. The brokerage retained its ‘buy’ call on Tata Steel, with an unchanged target price of Rs 185.
Nuvama Institutional Equities upgraded its rating to ‘buy’, with a fresh target price of Rs 177 per share, up from Rs 164 earlier. The management guided for an increase in steel realisation by Rs 3,000/t QoQ along with a further decline in coking coal cost by $10/t QoQ driving EBITDA/t expansion in Q1FY26.
“We estimate Q1FY26 EBITDA/t shall increase ~Rs 2,000 QoQ due to higher prices and lower coal cost, offset marginally by softer volume. Furthermore, Europe should start delivering positive EBITDA from Q1FY26 driven by higher profitability in the Netherlands and a breakeven in UK,” added Nuvama.
On the other hand, Motilal Oswal reiterated its ‘neutral’ rating, but cut its target price to Rs 155 per share. “Though there are near-term challenges related to price volatility due to trade tension, the long-term outlook remains strong for Tata Steel. While India business is expected to continue its strong performance, improving performance in Europe business would support overall earnings.”
