SAIL reported its highest ever sales volume of 19.9 million tons in FY26, up 11% YoY, with sales turnover of ~INR110,000 crores. PAT grew 51% to ~INR5,400 crores despite no rail price revision benefit (vs INR1,800 crore benefit in FY25). Debt was reduced by INR8,150 crore during the year, bringing down interest cost from 7.3% to 6.2%. For FY27, the company targets sales volume of 22 million tons (including 0.6-0.7 million tons from RINL) and capex of INR15,000 crore, rising to INR20,000-25,000 crore annually thereafter for expansion at IISCO (INR36,000 crore), Bhilai (INR30,000 crore), and Bokaro (INR18,000 crore). Net debt-to-equity stands at 0.37. Coking coal costs rose ~INR3,600/ton from Q4 to May levels, creating ~INR1,400-1,500/ton cost pressure in Q1 FY27, but NSR has also increased by ~INR4,000/ton.
Strong operational performance with debt reduction improving balance sheet strength. Higher coking coal costs may pressure near-term margins, but management remains confident of sustaining profitability through cost optimization and efficiency improvements. Major capex cycle beginning will require careful capital allocation.
