India's largest steel manufacturer JSW Steel Ltd., state-owned utility company Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd., and consumer goods maker Marico Ltd. are among the companies reporting their April-June financial results on Tuesday.
JSW Steel may see profit more than halve from last year to Rs 471 crore even as the revenue is expected to grow 21 percent, Bloomberg consensus estimates show. Operating margin may contract more than 10 percentage points as higher coking coal prices weigh on the steelmaker's operational performance. Steel spreads are expected to be under pressure due to weaker pricing.
