Produces ferro chrome, the alloy used in stainless steel, from captive chrome ore and captive power at its integrated operations in Odisha. In FY26, ferro chrome accounted for 73.7% of segment revenue (₹2,824 crore) and delivered segment EBIT of ₹611.29 crore, while the captive Power and Mining segments contributed 14.2% and 12.0% of segment revenue respectively but operated near break-even. The Q3 FY26 run-rate was 67,196 tonnes of ferro chrome production and 64,802 tonnes of sales at INR118,000–120,000/tonne, supported by 265,468 tonnes of chrome ore raising and 256.17 MU of captive power in that quarter. The business is in the middle of doubling-plus its ferro chrome footprint: it acquired Tata Steel's Kalinganagar ferro chrome plant in February 2026 for ₹861 crore plus ₹25 crore of working capital, and is commissioning the KNR 1 greenfield (first furnace June 2026, total capex ~₹800 crore), with management guiding to ~400,000 tonnes in FY27 and 475,000–500,000 tonnes in FY28 against the current ~265,000-tonne base, eventually reaching 0.5 MTPA. Chrome ore raising is targeted to scale from ~850,000 tonnes in FY26 to 1 million tonnes in FY27 to feed the expanded furnaces, and an ethanol project is due to commission in March 2026 for top-line contribution from FY27. Materials (bought-out chrome ore, reductants and electrodes) are the largest external cost line at 36.8% of revenue, with capex heavy at 47.3% of revenue in FY26. AR · MarketPing reader · 2026-08-02

This document is a statistical summary of publicly filed information and market data, prepared by software from primary sources: SEBI results XBRL filed with BSE and NSE, LODR disclosures, shareholding patterns, exchange price data. It contains no research recommendation, no price target and no opinion on the merits of any security, and is not a research report within the meaning of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, Regulation 2(1)(w)(vii). Financial statements are as filed (consolidated where the company files consolidated results). Ratios are computed over filed lines. Where a figure is unavailable the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. The business brief is written by MarketPing's reader from the annual report and checked against it; no figure in a table was generated by a model.
