Brokerages expect JSW Steel to report strong net profit and revenue growth in the fourth quarter, driven by higher realisations and a modest increase in volumes. Motilal Oswal projects a 77.3% year-on-year (YoY) increase in adjusted profit to ₹2,830 crore, led by strong net sales realisations (NSR). NSR is a critical metric representing the net revenue received per tonne of steel sold after deducting costs like transportation and discounts.

| Emkay Global | 10% |
Emkay Global expects JSW Steel to report Q4 consolidated EBITDA of ₹8,420 crore, driven by higher realisations and partly offset by higher coking coal costs. The company also expects volumes to show a modest increase, with the BF-3 shutdown at Vijaynagar offset by the JVML ramp-up. Emkay Global pegged Q4 revenue growth at 10% and profit at 67.5%.
