NMDC Steel recorded its highest-ever annual production of 23.25 lakh metric tonnes and sales of 24.55 lakh metric tonnes during FY26, registering growth of 62% and 74% respectively over the previous year.

This robust growth reflects improved capacity utilisation, stronger market penetration and the growing acceptance of NSL’s high-quality steel products across key sectors.

Most significantly, FY26 marked a complete turnaround in NSL’s profitability. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at Rs. 58.72 crore in FY26 against a loss of Rs. 2,373 crore in the previous year. Reflecting the strength of this turnaround, Q4 FY26 PAT improved to Rs. 391 crore from a loss of Rs. 473 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

NMDC Steel closed FY26 on a strong note, delivering its best-ever quarterly production and sales alongside a significant improvement in operational performance.
