Tata Steel's first-quarter profit slumps on spike in expenses, price drop
India's Tata Steel on Monday reported a staggering 92% slump in quarterly profit, hurt by the lower prices of alloy and expenses related to a pension scheme in Britain.
Consolidated net profit came in at 6.34 billion rupees ($77.5 million) for the three months to June 30, while total revenue from operations fell 6.2% to 594.90 billion rupees from a year earlier.

Overall expenses jumped about 13% to 585.53 billion rupees.
Tata Steel, which has an annual crude steel capacity of 35 million tonnes per annum, said steel spot prices moderated during the quarter.
