Pellet Plant Viability Under Pressure
One of three pellet plants (2 MTPA) shut since June due to 40-45% increase in gas prices following PNGRB guidelines, making operations commercially unviable at current pellet prices. Restart dependent on gas price normalization or securing required volume at viable rates.
Integrated Steel Plant Uncertainty
Steel plant placed on hold due to 6-8 month delay in water allocation (9.4 MCM LOI withdrawn). No clarity on revival timeline. Promoters advise viewing as optional rather than committed capex plan.
Jamu Pigments Divestment Incomplete
Partial stake sale (~Rs 25 crore) executed with promoters/family members. No final decision on complete exit or timeline. Operational difficulty at Jamnagar and Kota locations cited as driver.
Domestic pellet oversupply risk
New pellet capacity from competitors (Lloyd, NMDC) could create volume pressure in the domestic market over the next 12 months.
Imported coal cost inflation
INR depreciation and potential Indonesian supply disruptions could increase imported coal costs from Q2 FY27 onwards.
Execution risk on large capex program
The company is undertaking multiple large projects (solar, BESS, CRM) simultaneously, with total capex of ~₹2,000cr in FY27, which could strain execution capabilities.
