The company delivered a sustained performance, driven by its innovative product offerings, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced customer service. In the domestic market, JSL maintained steady momentum during the quarter, underpinned by consistent demand from key sectors such as automotive, ornamental pipes and tubes, railways & metro, and white goods, amid factors including a growing focus on infrastructure expansion, efficient vertical transportation, and strengthened transit networks. Misuse of FTA routes allowed a surge of imports from China and other ASEAN countries like Vietnam, leading to continued dumping of substandard, subsidised, and low-priced imports coming into the country and distorting the level-playing field, particularly for Indian MSMEs. Despite this, Jindal Stainless retained its market share through its competitive pricing, robust distribution network, and customer-focused initiatives such as Jindal Saathi Seal and QR Code and Loyalty incentive program.
On the export front, global trade sentiments remained subdued due to elevated uncertainties and protectionist measures in key western markets, particularly the United States and the European Union. In response, the company continued to strategically prioritize the domestic market while moderating export volumes, with a focus on providing value-added solutions tailored to the needs of its long-term global customers.
