And that has put us in a good position to scale up in India and despite the challenges. And what I would also like to highlight is, even if you look at the last few years, we've been selling more in the domestic market than anybody else in India. We've been able to pivot quite successfully into the domestic market, stay focused on the domestic market, where we've built strong relationships. One is our India business which has always been focused on the domestic market, with exports typically accounting for about 10% to 15% of our volume. And I'll explain some of the reasons to you. Despite these multiple headwinds, Tata Steel has delivered a strong performance with improvement in margins, which validates our strategy and business model. And all these have weighed down on steel spot spreads, and they've dropped sharply. Indian steel industry also faced similar challenges, which were compounded by the imposition of the 15% export duty midway through the quarter. Commodity and steel prices have naturally been affected and there's been a sharp correction in prices of both steel and input prices. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to all of you.Īs you know, the global economy is facing several macroeconomic headwinds both from inflation and from interest rate hikes and the COVID situation as well and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
