In early July, Tata Steel announced that it had reduced its net debt to ₹80,144 crore and outlined a ₹20,000 crore capital‑expenditure plan, signalling a focus on debt reduction while expanding capacity.

Later that month, Tata Consultancy Services reported a modest revenue rise and a record operating margin, but its dividend was cut to ₹110 per share. The lower payout reduced cash inflows to Tata Sons, the holding company, tightening the group’s overall cash‑flow position despite the stronger performance of its IT arm.
