“Automotive volumes were aided by higher deliveries of hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel to auto OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) while our well-established retail brand Tata Tiscon crossed 2 million tonnes on an annual basis.
Overall, India deliveries now make up 68 per cent of total deliveries and will continue to grow with incremental volumes from 5 MTPA capacity expansion at Kalinganagar,” he said.
