Tata Steel’s UK and Netherlands operations have both reported lower volumes for the October-December quarter (Q3) of fiscal year 2026 (FY26), Kallanish learns from its recent provisional results.
For liquid steel production, Tata Steel Netherlands reported 1.68 million tonnes for the quarter, down from 1.76mt in Q3 2025, but little changed from 1.67mt in the previous quarter. On a nine-month basis, this stood at 5.05mt, down from 5.12mt during the same period in 2025.
The company says that “seasonal factors and subdued market dynamics led to lower deliveries” on a quarter-on-quarter basis.
Delivery volumes for the quarter were at 1.4mt, down year-on-year from 1.53mt, and q-o-q from 1.54mt. On a 9M basis, these volumes were at 4.44mt, down from 4.5mt for the same period of 2025.
In the UK, work continues on Tata’s new electric arc furnace following the end of ironmaking at the site in September 2024.
Tata says that “enabling works for the EAF project have advanced and the site landscape is being reshaped for the next phase of construction”.
As part of this, it is serving its customers via downstream processing of purchased substrate. UK deliveries in Q3 dipped to 0.52mt, from 0.57mt each in the previous quarter and Q3 2025. On a 9M basis, deliveries stood at 1.69mt, down from 1.88mt year-on-year.
