New Delhi: Steel Authority of India Limited recorded its highest-ever December sales in 2025, posting provisional volumes of 2.1 million tonne and registering strong year-on-year growth.
The company achieved a growth of about 37 percent compared to the 1.5 million tonne sold in December 2024. Officials said this marked SAIL’s best performance for the month of December since its inception.
The strong showing reflected higher sales across product categories and delivery channels. The company also reduced inventory levels significantly during the month. As a result, SAIL improved supply efficiency and met customer delivery schedules more effectively.
Officials said the company maintained a sharp focus on dispatch execution. In addition, SAIL stepped up branding initiatives with renewed intensity. These efforts supported demand traction in key domestic markets.
The December performance helped SAIL sustain growth momentum during the current financial year. Provisional sales from April to December 2025 reached 14.7 million tonne. This represented a growth of about 17 percent over the 12.6 million tonne recorded during the same period last year.
Company officials said steady demand conditions supported volume growth. They added that operational coordination across plants and marketing units played a key role. Timely movement of material also contributed to higher sales.
Apart from domestic performance, SAIL recorded a sharp rise in export volumes. Officials said the growth in overseas shipments highlighted the company’s expanding global footprint. They added that export demand complemented domestic market strength.

Officials said the record performance strengthened SAIL’s position among leading steel producers in India. They added that rising export volumes further enhanced the company’s standing in international markets.
