Q3 & 9M FY25 earnings presentation for Jindal Stainless Limited indicates a mixed performance. For Q3 FY25, the company reported a net revenue of ₹10,066 Cr, reflecting a 3% increase QoQ and an 11% YoY growth. However, PAT was ₹619 Cr, marking a 5% QoQ uplift but a 21% decline YoY. EBITDA remained stable at ₹1,003 Cr, with a slight decrease from the previous year's period.
The sales volume composition indicates a strong domestic focus, constituting 92% in Q3 FY25.
