IMFA's board approved an Asset Transfer Agreement (ATA) with Tata Steel Limited to buy Tata Steel's Ferro Alloys Plant located at Kalinganagar, Odisha, for a base purchase consideration of Rs 610 crore plus applicable GST and the value of net working capital taken over at closing. The acquisition is a strategic capacity expansion move in IMFA's core ferro alloys business, with locational and cost synergies from proximity to its captive mines and upcoming greenfield project. Completion is subject to approval from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and is expected in 3 to 6 months. Separately, the board approved Q2 FY26 standalone results — revenue from operations of Rs 718.65 crore and profit after tax of Rs 98.77 crore, with H1 FY26 revenue at Rs 1,360.19 crore and PAT at Rs 190.25 crore. An interim dividend of Rs 5 per equity share (50%) for FY26 was also declared, with a record date of November 11, 2025 and payment by December 3, 2025.
The Rs 610 crore acquisition meaningfully expands IMFA's ferro alloys capacity in its core segment, which could drive future revenue and margin growth if synergies materialise, though the deal still needs regulatory clearance. The 50% interim dividend rewards shareholders in the short term, while the large cash deployment may pressure liquidity and elevate capex-related execution risk.
