Revenue from operations, EBITDA, and sales volume all increased in Q2 FY’25 over Q1 FY’25.However, lower performance in Q2 FY’25 compared to the same period last year (Q2 FY’24) was influenced by factors like cheaper imports which led to a decline in prices.Commenting on the results, SAIL Chairman Amarendu Prakash said: "We expect H2 FY’25 to bring more promising results compared to H1 FY’25, which was impacted by various challenges. Moving forward, with the expected downtrend in steel imports and projected growth in GDP & capital expenditure, the second half of FY’25 may yield better performance."Steel Authority of India Ltd will be investing Rs 6,500 crore towards capex during the current financial year as part of its Rs 1 lakh crore investment plan over the next few years, Prakash said earlier this year. He also said that SAIL has a regular capex on maintaining its facilities, as well as debottlenecking exercises.
