In a development impacting its financial performance, Shyam Metalics and Energy Ltd (SMEL) announced a pronounced 55% decrease in its consolidated net profit for the September quarter, amounting to Rs 215.68 crore.

The report highlights a stark contrast to the Rs 481.97 crore profit recorded during the same period in 2023, signaling a significant financial adjustment for the renowned manufacturer of long-steel products and ferro alloys. The company's total income witnessed an incline, reaching Rs 3,708.61 crore this quarter, compared to Rs 2,978.93 crore during the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year.
