Sail's ambitious capacity push faces a risk of oversupply
Mint Ahmedabad

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.

WHY EPFO'S NEW WITHDRAWAL TIMELINES COULD CREATE MORE PAIN THAN PURPOSE
For millions of salaried Indians, tapping EPF savings just got harder. The EPFO has extended the wait for full withdrawals, raising concern that a move to promote long-term savings may instead add red tape. At its 238th meeting, the board eased partial withdrawals but stretched full withdrawal timelines—from two months to 12 months for EPF and up to 36 months for the pension scheme. With average balances below %2 lakh, the change is meant to deter early exits. But a reform meant to build discipline may end up testing patience.
