Sales of Saleable Steel for the quarter was 4.00 million tonnes, higher by 6% QoQ, led by a 29% increase in domestic sales, driven by demand from automotive, solar and appliance sectors. Exports were moderated to 15% of sales during the Quarter vs. 30% of sales in Q2 of FY2022. The quarterly EBITDA margin of 23.6% was lower QoQ primarily due to elevated prices of coking coal and higher power cost while domestic Iron ore prices during the Quarter softened in line with global indices, partly offsetting the cost increase.
