Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents; however, operations are centered in India with registered offices in Maharashtra and mines in regions like Balaghat (MP) and Gumgaon.
Profitability Margins
Net profit margin improved from 20.24% to 24.08% YoY. Operating profit margin increased from 20.25% to 23.69% in FY 2024-25. These improvements were driven by record production levels and higher sales volumes despite global price pressures.

Capital Expenditure
Planned capital expenditure of INR 328 Cr for the current year and INR 340 Cr for the next year. In the last 2-3 years, capex has exceeded Profit After Tax (PAT) to fund modernization and high-speed shaft sinking projects at Balaghat and Gumgaon mines.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Manganese ore resources (internal), power, and consumables. Mining accounts for 91.80% of turnover, making the extraction of manganese ore the primary cost and revenue driver.
Import Sources
Primarily sourced from internal mines in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, India. The company added 7.98 million tons of resources in the last year to its domestic base.
Capacity Expansion
Current production is 18.03 lakh MT (FY 2024-25). The company is targeting a production capacity of 3.5 million tons (35 lakh MT) by 2030, supported by environmental clearances for up to 5 million tons.
Raw Material Costs
Total expenditure rose 4.63% to INR 1,209.54 Cr in FY 2024-25. The company focuses on converting its 7.98 million tons of added resources into reserves to manage long-term procurement costs.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Production increased 2.67% to 18.03 lakh MT. Exploratory core drilling reached 30,028 meters in Q1 FY25, a 1.5x increase YoY, which improves the efficiency of future mining operations.
Logistics & Distribution
Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue, but sales quantity grew 3.32% to 15.87 lakh MT in FY 2024-25.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
12%
Growth Strategy
MOIL plans to double production to 3.5 million tons by 2030 through the modernization and mechanization of existing mines, sinking new high-speed shafts at Balaghat and Gumgaon, and aggressive exploration (30,000+ meters drilled recently) to convert resources into mineable reserves.
Products & Services
Manganese Ore (various grades), Ferro Manganese, Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide, and Wind Power.
Brand Portfolio
MOIL (Manganese Ore India Limited).
New Products/Services
Focus is on expanding existing manganese ore grades and value-added products like Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide; specific new launch revenue % not disclosed.
Market Expansion
Targeting increased domestic supply to meet the National Steel Policy goal of 300 million tons of steel production by 2030.
Market Share & Ranking
MOIL is a prominent public sector undertaking and a Schedule 'A' Miniratna Category-I company, indicating a leading position in the Indian manganese ore market.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward higher mechanization and deeper underground mining as surface reserves deplete. MOIL is positioning itself by investing in high-speed shaft sinking and targeting 3.5 MTPA by 2030 to match India's growing steel capacity.
Competitive Landscape
MOIL competes with global manganese miners and domestic private players, maintaining its edge through large-scale integrated operations and government backing.
Competitive Moat
MOIL holds a cost leadership moat due to its extensive domestic reserves and Miniratna status, providing it with preferential access to resources and a strong balance sheet to fund heavy capex (INR 300+ Cr annually).
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to the steel industry's performance; manganese is a critical input for steel. National Steel Policy targets suggest a long-term demand tailwind.
Consumer Behavior
Demand is driven by industrial steel producers rather than individual consumers; shifts toward higher-grade steel increase the demand for high-quality manganese ore.
Geopolitical Risks
Global pressure on manganese ore prices affects domestic realizations. Trade barriers or global supply shifts in manganese from other regions could impact MOIL's competitive pricing.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by mining regulations, environmental laws, and labor standards. Compliance is managed through regular audits and adherence to the Risk Management Policy.
Environmental Compliance
The company is targeting environmental clearances for 50 lakh tons by 2030 to support its 35 lakh ton production goal. It received the 1st prize for Mines Environment and Mineral Conservation at the Chikla Mine.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company faces a 25-30% effective tax rate (PBT of INR 486.78 Cr vs PAT of INR 381.64 Cr). It is subject to royalties, DMF, and NMET on ore consumption.
Legal Contingencies
The company received an order from the Commissioner (Appeals), CGST & Central Excise regarding Service Tax on Royalty, DMF, and NMET. While a query mentioned a potential INR 2,500 Cr contingent liability for various taxes, management stated there is no direct liability from the recent Supreme Court decision on state-imposed royalty taxes.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Fluctuations in global manganese ore prices (impacts revenue by ~10% for every major price shift) and the risk of structural collapses or equipment accidents in underground mining.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in the Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh mining belts, where all major production assets are located.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on government authorities for environmental clearances and mining lease renewals.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of falling behind in mining efficiency; mitigated by current investments in SAP, mechanization, and high-speed shaft sinking.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables quality is high, evidenced by the reduction in Debtors Turnover from 53 days to 34 days.
