According to Tata Steel, the production of crude steel during the reported quarter was largely at par on a quarter over quarter (QoQ) basis. However, the volume of sales was affected because of partial lockdowns implemented by certain states as well as temporary shutdowns in few steel consuming sectors amid the second wave of the pandemic.
