06 Jan 2026 CW Team

According to provisional data, SAIL clocked sales of 2.1 million tonnes (MT) in December 2025, registering a robust growth of around 37 per cent compared with 1.5 MT sold in December 2024. This marks the company’s best performance for the month of December to date, with strong growth reported across product categories and sales channels, alongside a significant reduction in inventory levels.

The strong monthly performance was driven by a sharp focus on timely customer deliveries and enhanced market engagement. SAIL has also stepped up its branding and outreach initiatives in recent months, contributing to improved visibility and stronger customer connect in both retail and institutional segments.

The December showing helped SAIL sustain its growth momentum during the current financial year. Cumulative sales for the April–December 2025 period stood at 14.7 MT (provisional), reflecting a growth of about 17 per cent compared with 12.6 MT recorded during the corresponding period of the previous year.

In addition to solid performance in the domestic market, SAIL’s export volumes have also witnessed a significant increase, highlighting the company’s expanding global footprint and competitiveness in international markets. The improved export performance comes amid volatile global steel market conditions, underscoring SAIL’s ability to adapt and capitalise on emerging opportunities.

The sustained improvement in sales volumes reflects SAIL’s strengthened market presence, customer-centric approach and operational efficiencies. The record-breaking achievements across domestic and overseas markets reinforce the company’s position among India’s leading steel producers and are expected to further enhance its standing among major global steel players in the coming years.
