SAIL has delivered one of the best performances during the quarter under review. However, the same is not reflected under its financial performance due to factors not in the company’s control mainly including an unprecedented increase in prices of imported and indigenous cooking coal. The company expects its performance to improve substantially in the upcoming quarter.

SAIL is currently trading at Rs105.80 up by Rs2.2 or 2.12% from its previous closing of Rs103.60. The scrip opened at Rs100.05 and has touched the day’s high and low of Rs106.70 and Rs100.05 respectively.
