Tata Steel Shares Jump 3% in Muhurat Trading After Solid Q2 Results

Tata Steel's stock surged over 3 percent during the special Muhurat trading session on Sunday, reaching an intraday high of ₹192.19 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This boost followed the company’s release of steady financial results for the second quarter ended September 2025.

At 2:40 PM on Sunday, the shares were trading up 2.2 percent at ₹190.45 with about 10.15 million shares exchanged on the NSE. Meanwhile, the broader market index Nifty 50 showed a modest gain of 0.1 percent, standing at 25,057 points at that time.

Tata Steel’s share price has experienced notable fluctuations over the past year, peaking at ₹224.40 on May 15, 2026, and dropping to a low of ₹160.06 on December 9, 2025. The recent rise during the Muhurat session reflects renewed investor confidence following the quarterly earnings announcement.

For the quarter ending September 2025, Tata Steel reported a consolidated net profit attributable to owners of ₹3,666.41 crore. This represents an 18.2 percent increase compared to ₹3,101.75 crore recorded in the same quarter the previous year. The company’s consolidated revenue also climbed by 11.5 percent year-on-year to ₹65,436.24 crore.

Operating performance improved as well, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rising 17 percent to ₹10,665 crore. The EBITDA margin remained healthy at around 16 percent, indicating effective cost management alongside revenue growth.

The company highlighted that its India business was the primary driver behind the positive earnings momentum. Tata Steel India posted a revenue increase of 22.6 percent year-on-year to ₹42,653 crore during the quarter. Profit after tax (PAT) for the India segment also rose by 19.9 percent, reaching ₹5,055 crore.

Commenting on the results, T V Narendran, Tata Steel’s CEO and Managing Director, noted, "India continued to be the cornerstone of our performance with volumes growing 16 percent quarter-on-quarter despite a seasonally softer quarter, reflecting the strength of our market presence and customer reach." His remarks underscore the importance of the domestic market in sustaining the company’s growth trajectory.

Tata Steel is one of the leading steel producers in India and globally, with operations spanning steel manufacturing, processing, and distribution. The company has consistently focused on expanding its production capacity and enhancing operational efficiency to meet rising demand in infrastructure, automotive, and construction sectors.

The recent quarterly performance aligns with broader industry trends where steelmakers are recovering from previous market volatility, driven by infrastructure projects and increased industrial activity. Steady earnings and positive volume growth often attract investor interest, as seen during the Muhurat trading session, which is traditionally viewed as an auspicious time to trade stocks in India.

Investors and market watchers will closely monitor how Tata Steel builds on this momentum in coming quarters, particularly as the global steel market navigates challenges related to raw material costs and geopolitical factors. For now, the company’s robust Q2 results and strong showing in special trading sessions suggest confidence in its operational strategy and market position.
