Jindal Saw reported a 78% decline in its consolidated net profit to ₹908 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, down from ₹4,155 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. The sharp drop in profitability was driven by a significant contraction in EBITDA margins to 9.4% from 16.8% year-on-year, as the company faced severe logistical constraints and supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. Revenue from operations rose to ₹4,476 crore compared to ₹4,103 crore in the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
Q1 Financial Performance at a Glance
The company's consolidated EBITDA declined to ₹4,204 crore from ₹6,883 crore in the year-ago period. The margin compression reflects the impact of geopolitical instability on export operations, which constitute approximately 30% of the order book, with a majority destined for the MENA region. The unaudited financial results were reviewed by Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP, Statutory Auditors.

Strategic and Corporate Updates
The American Petroleum Institute (API) license for seamless pipes, which was temporarily restricted in January 2026, was reinstated in June 2026. This reinstatement is expected to normalize operations at the Nashik facility. Meanwhile, the company is advancing its expansion projects in UAE and KSA, including a seamless pipe facility in Abu Dhabi and HSAW/LSAW pipe facilities in Saudi Arabia, both scheduled for commercial production in FY 2028-29.
CARE Ratings reaffirmed “CARE A1+” for short-term debt and “CARE AA” with a stable outlook for long-term debt facilities in June 2026.
