After a weak performance in Q1, there has been a significant improvement in all round operational performance including much higher deliveries. Revenue for the quarter saw an increase of ~32% Q-o-Q while the increase was 36% over Q2 FY’22. This was driven by higher sales volume of both Pig Iron (PI) and Ductile Iron (DI) Pipe by ~23% and ~52% respectively despite the disruption for 4-5 days due to rail & road agitation in Kharagpur.

▶EBITDA down 59% at Rs 40.9 crVsRs 99.8 cr (YoY)
▶Margin at 4.7% Vs 15.5% (YoY)
- Stable and improved plant performance resulting in higher hot metal production q-o-q by ~25%. DI Pipe production also increased q-o-q by ~40% as additional volumes became available with the ramping up of the new DI Pipe plant that was formally inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal in Sep’22.
- Realisation of PI saw a q-o-q drop of ~11% due to oversupply in domestic market as a result of virtual stoppage of exports post imposition of export duty on PI @ 15% from May-22. Realisation of DI Pipe, on the other hand, increased by ~3% compared to Q1.
“The Company has been able to bounce back after a weak performance in Q1, with both PI and DIP business delivering much higher volumes than Q1. The new DI Pipe plant has been ramping up well and higher volumes are expected to come from it in Q3. Pig Iron market demand is expected to continue to be under pressure due to oversupply in domestic market although post festive season, demand and utilization levels are expected to be better from Nov’22. Coal price (FOB Australia) is likely to remain range bound with possibility of marginal uptick in Q3 as indicated by trend of Coal futures. The demand outlook for DI Pipes for H2 is robust in line with the Govt’s increased outlay through JalJeevan Mission for providing drinking water to the population. H2 istraditionally a much better period for DI pipe with demand picking up and will be supported by additional volumes from the new DI Pipe plant.”
