Volume driving vertices
Tata Steel said that its automotive & special products’ vertical achieved ‘best-ever’ volumes of about 0.9 million tonnes, rising 20 per cent YoY in Q3 FY26.

The steel major stated that its branded products & retail vertical surpassed 2 million tonnes for the first time, growing 12 per cent YoY. The company stated that the segment’s growth was driven by the performance of well-established brands, including Tata Tiscon, Tata Astrum, and Tata Steelium.
