Hindustan Times Lucknow
|March 19, 2025

The agency reduced its headroom for ratings upgrades for India's top steelmakers by market cap - JSW Steel, currently rated "BB" with stable outlook, and Tata Steel, which it rates "BBB-" with a negative outlook.
Steelmakers in China, the world's largest producer of the alloy, have been grappling with generating profits as a prolonged property downturn has hit consumption, leading to higher exports to countries such as India.
