SAIL’s domestic sales and exports have been at 12.40 Lakh Tonnes and 1.94 Lakh Tonnes registering a growth of 23% and 250% respectively.

The current sales figures are a testimony to the sustained efforts by the SAIL Collective. We were quite positive on the demand picking up as soon as the economy would return to normal. Despite the early setback, after opening up, the market has also been echoing positive sentiments and a lot of meticulous planning went into leveraging these sentiments.” Adding further he said, “The Company is totally committed to its role in contributing towards India’s growth story as well as building the Atmanirbhar Bharat. The Company has been catering to the domestic requirements of the Nation and has also gainfully utilized opportunities in the export market to maintain consistent growth momentum in its sales.”
