In comparison to sales in Q1 SAIL achieved a growth of 30 percent. The previous best Q2 in respect of sales was 3.08 MT achieved in 2009-10, they said.
During this year's Q2 SAIL sold 8.5 lakh tonnes of special and value-added steel products, showing a growth of 10.1 percent over the corresponding period last year. Special steel constituted 30 percent of the total domestic sales achieved in Q2.
Sales growth in Q2 was mainly due to higher intake by construction and manufacturing sectors. This was reflected in higher sales of products such as wife rods, rounds and bars, structurals, CR sheets/coils and galvanised items, the sources added.
