MUMBAI | Tue Feb 12, 2013 2:26pm IST

MUMBAI Feb 12 (Reuters) - State-owned Steel Authority of India Ltd reported a 23 percent drop in quarterly profit, weighed by higher input and wage costs and sluggish sales.

SAIL, India's largest domestic steel producer, said December quarter net profit fell to 4.84 billion rupees ($90 million) from 6.3 billion a year earlier. Net sales fell marginally to 104.95 billion rupees.

Analysts on average had forecast a net profit of 5.7 billion rupees, according to Thomson Reuters Starmine data.

At 2.20 p.m. (0850 GMT), SAIL shares were trading 0.5 percent lower in a firm Mumbai market.
