Tata Steel CEO and managing director T V Narendran said while reacting on the results that the company has "delivered strong results across key geographies in this seasonally weaker quarter. Our steel deliveries in India expanded by 11 per cent despite a contraction in market demand which is a testament to the strength of our franchise. We continue to drive value accretive growth in our chosen segments and our performance in key segments such as auto was very robust despite the sector being impacted by the semiconductor shortage. Our European operations have also delivered robust performance underpinned by strong improvement in realistions. We are watchful of the elevated coal prices and high energy cost as key risks to margins going forward."
