India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Nova Iron & Steel has completed a ₹122 crore asset sale as part of its strategy to reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet. The transaction, which was closed on 1 August 2025, involves the sale of land parcels along with key industrial assets, including a direct reduced iron (DRI) kiln, a power plant and an induction furnace.
According to the company’s disclosure, the proceeds from the sale will primarily be used to pare down outstanding borrowings. By lowering leverage and interest costs, Nova Iron & Steel aims to create additional financial headroom for its core operations and future growth plans.
The divestment is positioned as a strategic portfolio decision rather than a distress sale. Management is focusing on optimising asset utilisation and returns on capital, and the sale of non-critical or underutilised assets is intended to improve overall capital efficiency.
For investors, the move signals a clear prioritisation of balance sheet repair and financial discipline at a time when steel companies continue to face cyclical demand and margin pressures. Successful deployment of the sale proceeds towards debt reduction will be a key metric to track in the coming quarters, as it may support improved credit profile and valuation re-rating for the company.
