EBITDA Margin
EBIDTA margin was 15.90% in FY25, down from 17.62% in FY24. H1 FY26 EBIDTA margin improved to 18.95% (up from 12.79% YoY) as operational efficiency returned post-shutdown.
Capital Expenditure
The company undertook capital repairs and upgradation of its Blast Furnace (BF) and related facilities for 84 days starting May 2024. Investing cash outflow was INR 236 Cr in FY25 and INR 58 Cr in H1 FY26.

Import Sources
Primarily sourced from captive mines in India to maintain cost advantages and supply security.
Key Suppliers
Self-supplied iron ore from captive mines; other vendors not specifically named.
Capacity Expansion
Iron ore mining capacity is 7 MnTPA. The company is focusing on debottlenecking existing facilities and implementing cost reduction schemes rather than greenfield expansion.
Raw Material Costs
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) increased 7.90% YoY to INR 2,609 Cr in FY25, outpacing revenue growth due to lower production volumes during the 84-day BF shutdown.
Manufacturing Efficiency
