Q4 profit: Jindal Stainless reports a 34.6% fall

17 May 2024 CW Team

On account of lower steel prices and weak international demand, India's Jindal Stainless reported a 34.6% fall in fourth-quarter profit.

The country's biggest stainless steel maker by volumes posted a consolidated net profit of $60 million for the quarter end. Despite robust demand for steel from the construction and automotive sectors of one of the world's fastest-growing economies, manufacturers have been grappling with the impact of declining steel prices.

At the conclusion of the quarter, the nation's largest producer of stainless steel by volume reported a combined net profit of $60 million. In one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, the construction and automotive industries have strong demand for steel, but manufacturers have been struggling with the impact of falling steel prices.

Construction and transport supplier Jindal reported a 3.2% decline in operating revenue to Rs 94.54 billion for the quarter. Important export markets, including the U.S. and Europe, remained poor, despite the fact that sales volumes for the quarter increased 12% year over year due to robust domestic demand.

During the quarter, the Red Sea situation caused a sharp rise in maritime freight and limited container availability, which in turn compressed profits. According to managing director Abhyuday Jindal, the crisis also caused the firm to lose certain clients because of delivery delays. This was stated in a news conference following the results.

The firm reported that while it has observed a resurgence in certain product categories in Europe, the U.S. market has not yet shown signs of recovery. Additionally, the business wants to increase its presence in the Middle East and South America.

The Indian government and the stainless steel manufacturer were also in discussions on the importation of Chinese stainless steel into India. For the fiscal year 2023?2024, the Jindal Stainless Board suggested paying a dividend of two rupees per share. Ahead of the announcement, the manufacturer of stainless steel's shares finished 4% down.
