EU Ne Apne Steel Industry Ko Bachane Ka Plan Bana Liya!
European Union ne yeh sab karne ka decision isliye liya hai taaki unki local steel industry ko support mile, jo abhi sirf 65% capacity par chal rahi hai. Global oversupply ki wajah se prices gire hue hain, aur EU ka plan hai ki import ko control karein. Yeh naye rules July 1, 2026 se लागू honge. Is policy se European steel prices ko bhi support milne ki ummeed hai, aur hot-rolled coil (HRC) prices $750 per tonne tak ja sakte hain 2026 mein.
Tata Steel Ka Kya Hoga? Mixed Response!
Tata Steel Netherlands (TSN), jo EU ka part hai, is naye rules se kaafi fayda utha sakta hai. Management ka kehna hai ki prices mein €100 per tonne tak ka jump aa sakta hai, jisse TSN ka EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) badh jayega. FY26 ke pehle 9 mahine mein TSN ka EBITDA €210 million raha tha, aur Q3 mein €55 million (yaani ₹39 per tonne) tha. Agar prices badhe toh annual EBITDA €400 million tak pahunch sakta hai. TSN company ke total revenue ka 26% contribute karta hai.
Lekin, Tata Steel UK (TSUK) ke liye yeh news thodi negative hai. TSUK se EU ko hone wale exports par ab 50% tak ka tariff lag sakta hai. TSUK group revenue ka sirf 10% hissa hai aur Q3 FY26 mein £63 million ka EBITDA loss bhi face kar chuka hai. Yahan demand kam hai aur competition zyada. Iska negative impact TSN ke fayde aur India business ki strength se balance ho jayega.
Aur haan, Tata Steel ka India wala business, jahan se sabse zyada revenue aata hai, us par koi khaas asar nahi padne wala. India ka market strong hai aur local duties prices ko support karti hain. FY26 ke pehle 9 mahine mein India ne Rs 1,01,648 crore ka revenue aur 24% ka EBITDA margin kamaya hai.
Industry Ka Trend Aur Future
Baki badi European steel companies jaise ArcelorMittal bhi is policy se fayda utha sakti hain. SSAB aur Voestalpine jaise stocks already 2025 mein hi rise dikha chuke hain. Thyssenkrupp bhi FY24-25 mein profit mein aa gayi hai. Worldwide steel demand 2026 mein 1.3% grow karegi, par China mein demand kam ho sakti hai, jisse global overcapacity aur badh sakti hai. EU ka Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) bhi import costs ko €40–€70 per tonne tak badha dega.
Abhi Bhi Kuch Risks Hain...
Sabse bada risk global overcapacity ka hai, especially China se, jo abhi solve nahi hua hai. Rules ko implement karne mein bhi challenges ho sakte hain. Green steel banane ka kharcha bhi kaafi zyada hai, jaise Thyssenkrupp 2030 tak green steel production mein invest kar rahi hai. Yeh dekhna hoga ki TSN ki actual profits kaise badhti hain contract prices ke hisaab se. UK market abhi bhi weak chal raha hai.
Analysts Kya Keh Rahe Hain?
Analysts Tata Steel ke liye average target price ₹212.78 de rahe hain, jo current price se 3.10% upside dikhata hai. P/E ratio 13.38 hai, jo steel industry average 13.44 ke aas paas hai. Company apna focus India business par rakhe hue hai aur debt bhi kam kar rahi hai, Q3 FY26 mein Rs 5,206 crore ka debt reduction kiya hai.
