Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 1- Volume growth is expected to surge by approximately 30% in H2 FY24 compared to H1, targeting a total volume of 330,000 to 350,000 tonnes for the full year.
- The company aims to reach a total manufacturing capacity of 1 million tonnes by FY25 through a 4 lakh-tonne expansion (2 lakh each in Mangaon and Raipur).
- Sales per tonne and EBITDA per tonne are anticipated to rise, driven by increased share of value-added products (VAP) and introduction of DFT technology.
- Revenue growth is aligned with volume increase, although realization per tonne is dependent on fluctuating HRC steel prices.
- The company plans to maintain government project sales at around 24%, with expansion in other segments like EPC and exports.
- Beyond 1 million tonnes capacity, organic growth options exist given ample land bank; formal announcements on further expansion are pending.
- Demand is strong with no foreseeable supply gap, supported by infrastructure projects and new ERW pipe applications.
