Revenue & Sales Performance

Production volume is expected to increase from about 260,000 tonnes currently to approximately 400,000 tonnes in FY '27.
Further volume growth projected in FY '28 to reach between 475,000 to 500,000 tonnes.
The commissioning of the greenfield project and the Tata Steel Kalinganagar acquisition will start contributing meaningfully to revenue from Q1 FY '27.
The company aims to shift the export-to-domestic sales ratio from over 90% exports currently to about 60-40 (export-domestic) over the next two years.
Ore raising from captive mines is projected to increase to 1 million tonnes in FY '27 to meet expanded smelting capacity.
Focus remains on long-term contractual sales with flexibility to sell spot if market conditions favor.
EBITDA margins expected to remain stable if current ferrochrome price levels hold.

Profitability & Margins

Production volume is expected to rise from ~260,000 tonnes in FY '26 to approximately 400,000 tonnes in FY '27 and further to 475,000-500,000 tonnes in FY '28, driven by acquisition and new greenfield unit commissioning.
Stable EBITDA margins around 23% are expected to continue into Q4 FY '26 and Q1 FY '27, assuming current price levels hold.
Expansion at Kalinganagar (KNR 1 & 2) facilities is expected to reduce weighted average EBITDA cost by INR1,500 to INR2,000 per tonne, enhancing margins.
Long-term contracts assure steady offtake, reducing sales volatility.
Capex of around INR1,000 crores planned over next 2 years supports growth, with manageable peak debt not expected to exceed INR470 crores and debt-equity ratio within 0.3-0.5.
Increased captive ore raising and logistical efficiencies anticipated to sustain cost advantages.
Overall, growth in earnings and operating profits is projected due to capacity expansion, stable pricing, and cost efficiencies.

Order Book & Pipeline

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) primarily operates on long-term contractual commitments rather than spot sales.
Offtake is not an issue due to these long-term commitments, ensuring steady demand and supply alignment.
The company focuses on fulfilling contractual obligations first, prioritizing credibility and reliability as a supplier.
There is flexibility to sell domestically or internationally based on market conditions.
IMFA aims to shift the export-domestic sales mix from about 90-10 currently to approximately 60-40 over the next two years.
Spot sales occur mainly through repeat sales to existing customers without fixed monthly or annual commitments; new spot customers are not typically targeted.
Added tonnage from acquisitions and projects will help cater to both contractual and niche premium product demands, such as niche ferrochrome sold to specific customers in Japan.
