Tata Steel’s Winning Formula: Robust Q2 and Full BlueScope Ownership

Tata Steel Limited’s board meeting on November 12, 2025, marked significant milestones both financially and strategically. The company posted a resilient quarterly EBITDA of Rs 9,106 crores and Rs 16,585 crores for the half-year ended September 30, 2025. This performance comes despite challenging global conditions, with notable growth in crude steel production and deliveries in India. The company’s focus on operational efficiency and cost discipline contributed to an improved EBITDA margin.

The board also sanctioned the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity stake in Tata BlueScope Steel Private Limited (TBSPL) from BlueScope Steel Asia Holdings Pty Ltd for a consideration of up to Rs 1,100 crore ($130 million). Following this acquisition, TBSPL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, reinforcing the group’s stronghold in the value-added coated steel and building solutions market.

This move aligns with Tata Steel’s strategy to consolidate its downstream operations, cater to the growing infrastructure and construction demand in India, and unlock operational synergies. The company continues to emphasize sustainability and innovation in its growth roadmap.
