Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has posted a substantive rise in its consolidated net profit for the third quarter of the current financial year, with earnings reaching ₹374.03 crore. This marks a significant increase compared with ₹141.89 crore recorded in the same quarter of the previous year, driven primarily by higher sales volumes and improved operating leverage.
SAIL’s total income for the quarter rose to ₹27,545.93 crore, up from ₹24,723.43 crore a year earlier, reflecting stronger revenue performance. The company’s leadership noted that the profit improvement was supported by disciplined financial management and higher production and sales, which helped offset challenges from volatile input costs and competitive pricing pressures in the steel market.
For the nine-month period ending December 2025, SAIL reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1,537.33 crore, up from ₹1,120.82 crore in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, indicating continued profitability momentum over the longer term.
SAIL’s latest quarterly results highlight better domestic demand and effective cost control as key contributors to its financial upturn, alongside enhanced market penetration and operational leverage in its core steel businesses.
