AMNS India posted an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of $204 million during the quarter under review against $551 million a year ago, a fall of 62.9 per cent.
According to the company, the EBITDA was down due to lower selling prices, higher coal costs and lower pellet sales contribution (following the introduction of the export duty during the prior quarter) offset in part by higher steel shipments.
The JV’s crude steel production in Q3 2022 at 1.7mt was 12.1 per cent lower compared with 1.9mt in the third quarter of 2021 on account of maintenance. Steel shipments at 1.6mt were also lower than 1.8 mt in July-September 2021.
