JSW Steel reported a strong increase in profit for the March quarter, supported by improved steel prices and gains from low-cost inventory, even as global economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to impact the near-term outlook for the industry.
The company remains positive about its long-term growth trajectory, supported by strategic partnerships with two of the world’s leading steelmakers — JFE Steel Corporation and POSCO.
At the same time, the ongoing conflict in West Asia is expected to create short-term uncertainty by affecting global demand patterns and trade flows within the steel sector.
Speaking to BusinessLine, Jayant Acharya said the company continues to focus on capacity expansion and long-term growth opportunities despite prevailing geopolitical challenges.
