Rajratan Global Wire Ltd

- Rajratan Global Wire Limited has already secured a sanction of INR 100 crore from two banks for debt funding. - As of now, they have only availed a small portion of that sanctioned debt. - There is no current plan or need for additional debt beyond this sanctioned amount. - The company is actively working on strategies to reduce overall debt despite ongoing investments. - No mention of any new equity fundraising was made during the call. - The focus remains on utilizing existing sanctioned debt prudently for CAPEX like the Chennai expansion.

- Chennai expansion: Planned investment of INR 300 crore over two years for 60,000 tonnes capacity; production expected to start this year but full ramp-up over three years. - Thailand capacity expansion: Investment of approximately INR 75-80 crore to increase capacity from 40,000 to 60,000 tonnes; expected utilization within one to two years. - Debottlenecking in India: Maintenance and efficiency CAPEX around INR 15 crore aimed at increasing utilization from 75% to 90% without increasing total capacity. - Debt: INR 100 crore sanctioned from two banks, with only a small portion availed so far; no additional debt expected. - Patent wire production: Utilization of intermittent idle capacity for manufacturing patented wire (raw material for aluminum-clad wire) for diversification but no strategic product line change.

- Rajratan plans to grow volume by 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes in the current year (FY23), reflecting over 20% volume growth. - This growth is supported by debottlenecking existing capacity in India, increasing utilization from ~75% to ~90%. - Chennai expansion adds 60,000 tonnes capacity, expected to ramp up to full utilization over 2-3 years. - Thailand capacity is expanding from 40,000 to 60,000 tonnes, expected to be utilized within 1-2 years. - The company targets 40-50% of Chennai production to be exported to Southeast Asia, Europe, and America, leveraging established global customer relationships. - The Indian bead wire market is growing at 7-8% CAGR, supported by increased tyre manufacturing capacity and anti-dumping protection on Chinese tyres. - Rajratan is confident of sustained volume growth due to strong customer demand and limited current capacity constraints.

- Rajratan expects continued volume growth of 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes in FY23, supported by capacity expansions in India (Chennai) and Thailand. - Chennai expansion (60,000 tonnes capacity) will ramp up over three years, contributing to gradual volume growth and improved profitability. - Thailand capacity expansion from 40,000 to 60,000 tonnes is expected to be fully utilized within 1-2 years, enhancing volume and cost efficiency. - Volume growth is backed by strong demand from tyre manufacturers, with expected 7-8% CAGR in tyre market. - Operating margins are likely to benefit from improved product mix, better customer profile, and economies of scale from increased capacity utilization (target up to 90%+). - No major incremental debt required; company has a sanctioned bank facility of INR 100 crore with minimal drawdown so far. - Company confident of sustaining or improving EBITDA per tonne despite raw material price volatilities due to operational efficiencies and cost control. - Emerging focus on exports from Chennai to Europe, Southeast Asia, and America to diversify revenue and improve profitability.

- Approvals have been received for some customers where products were under approval for about a year, making it easier to push bulk volumes in the next 2-3 months. - The company is currently engaging with multiple customers including Japanese and European clients, targeting increased volumes with added capacity. - Rajratan has started supplying about 500-600 tonnes to U.S. customers based on inbound inquiries but formal approval efforts are yet to intensify. - They are in the bulk trial phase with Michelin, supplying multiple batches over 6-8 months, expecting full approval by the financial year-end. - Expansion in capacity (e.g., Chennai plant) is expected to support growing order volumes progressively over 2-3 years to reach full utilization. - Overall, the order pipeline is robust and expected to grow with focused efforts on approvals and capacity utilization.
