The company experienced a notable decline in net sales, which fell to Rs 4,084.68 crore, reflecting a decrease of 21.6% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. This decline is further illustrated by a quarter-over-quarter drop of 19.06% from the previous quarter.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) also faced a significant decline, dropping to Rs 356.03 crore, which represents a decrease of 36.1%. Additionally, both operating profit and profit after tax reached their lowest levels in five quarters, with profit after tax declining by 24.16% year-on-year. The operating profit margin, excluding other income, was reported at 14.59%, indicating a slight change from the previous quarter.

On a positive note, Jindal Saw achieved its lowest debt-equity ratio in the last five half-year periods, now at 0.43 times, suggesting a reduction in borrowing relative to equity capital. However, the dividend payout ratio has decreased to 6.82%, indicating a continued reduction in the proportion of profits distributed as dividends.

Overall, the company has seen an adjustment in its evaluation, reflecting the challenges faced in its financial performance during this period.
