Sail's ambitious capacity push faces a risk of oversupply
Mint Mumbai
|August 29, 2025
Tempering expectations
Steel Authority of India Ltd (Sail) shares are down 11% over the past year, despite efforts to amplify capacity.
In its FY25 annual report this week, Sail reiterated its production capacity target of 35mtpa (million tonnes per annum) by FY31 from 20mtpa currently. That entails a total investment of ₹1 trillion. Peak spending of ₹10,000-15,000 crore is expected in FY28-FY29. But a risk of domestic oversupply looms, as competitors add capacity.
The start to FY26 was unexciting as Sail trimmed the year's sales volume guidance to 18.5mt (excluding NMDC Steel) from 19.2mt. This is just 3% higher than FY25's 17.9mt.

What happens to your CGAS money if you don’t buy a house?
I sold a property in March 2024 and deposited ₹57 lakh of capital gains in a Capital Gain Account Scheme (CGAS) in May 2024. Since I will soon be moving abroad, I do not plan to buy a house using the deposited amount. How much tax will I have to pay now? I have been told that the tax rate is 12.5% instead of 20%. Is that correct? (If so, it would mean I pay a lower tax rate on a sale completed well before the new rule came into effect.)
