Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Revenue from operations grew 1.11% YoY to INR 5,999.73 Cr in FY25. H1 FY26 revenue showed a significant 28.6% YoY increase to INR 3,430 Cr, driven by the recovery from the previous year's 84-day blast furnace shutdown.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin reduced from 3.54% in FY24 to 1.88% in FY25 due to lower sales of rolled products and higher finance costs. However, H1 FY26 TCI margin improved to 5.77% from a negative 2.55% in H1 FY25.
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.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Borrowing costs are high, with NCDs carrying a 14.50% scheduled coupon plus a 3.00% additional coupon (17.5% total). Finance costs rose 19.83% to INR 562.38 Cr in FY25.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Iron Ore (100% captive), Coal, and Steel Scrap. Iron ore is sourced from captive mines with a 7 MnTPA capacity, ensuring self-sufficiency.
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
Manufacturing was impacted by an 84-day BF shutdown in FY25. Efficiency recovered in H1 FY26, with Rolled Product output jumping 74.4% YoY to 1,72,182 MT.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
28.60%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by refinancing INR 1,800 Cr of high-cost debt (currently at 17.5%) to reduce interest burden, debottlenecking facilities to reach 7 MnTPA mining capacity, and shifting the product mix toward high-value steel grades for the automotive and defense sectors.

Competitive Landscape
Intense competition from both large integrated steel players and cheaper imports, exerting pressure on commodity-grade steel margins.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 100% captive iron ore mines (7 MnTPA), providing a durable cost advantage over non-integrated competitors. This is sustainable as long as mining leases remain valid.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global steel cycles and domestic infrastructure spending. Inflationary pressures on non-captive inputs affect margins.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for high-quality, specialized alloy steels from automotive OEMs and the defense sector.
Geopolitical Risks
Global geopolitical instability affects supply chains and contributes to the dumping of cheaper steel imports into the Indian market.
Regulatory & Governance

Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
High financial leverage and interest burden (INR 562 Cr finance cost) are the primary risks. Operational risks include potential unplanned furnace shutdowns.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Operations are concentrated in India, particularly around mining and manufacturing hubs in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
Third Party Dependencies
Low dependency for iron ore due to captive mines; higher dependency on external suppliers for coal and specialized technology.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Identified threat of inability to adopt and scale new technologies, which could affect long-term competitiveness.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Not disclosed; however, the company maintains long-term relationships with major OEMs.
