What is the reason behind the return to profits?
There have been several important factors behind the company’s return to profits:
- expansion in production capacity
- Strong demand in domestic market
- Safeguard Duty on Imported Flat Steel
- improve cost management

All these factors together have strengthened the financial position of the company. This improvement in the steel sector is a positive sign not only for the company but for the entire Indian industrial sector. Due to increasing demand in infrastructure and construction sector in India, better opportunities are visible ahead for steel companies.
