Chairman's Message

Graphite India Limited

img-4.jpeg
K K Bangur Chairman

"In FY2026, Graphite India registered Net Sales of Rs. 2,852 Cr, up by 11.4% y-o-y primarily as a result of an increase in volumes, with realizations being flat. The Company recorded EBITDA of Rs. 375 Cr and Net Profit of Rs. 171 Cr. Graphite India's capacity utilization increased to 104%, as compared to 81% in Q4 FY2025. Treasury income was severely impacted due to volatility in financial markets arising from geopolitical challenges. From a balance sheet perspective, the capital structure remains robust and the Company has a Net Cash balance of Rs. 3,767 Cr at the end of March 2026. The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of Rs. 7 per share, subject to shareholders approval.

Ongoing conflicts in West Asia continue to impact logistics and freight costs. Despite these challenges, Graphite India recorded improved sales volume during the quarter. The current situation has led to a rationing of certain energy based inputs and pressure on prices of key inputs. The Company remains optimistic about improving realizations to absorb the costs increases.

Global crude steel production during the quarter reflected diverse economic activity across regions, with an overall decline of 2.8% y-o-y to 449.2 million MT. The contraction was broad based, with a 6% drop in Chinese steel output due to ongoing weakness in the real estate and construction sectors. The Middle East had the sharpest regional decline at 9.1%, reflecting availability disruptions of key steelmaking raw materials. The European Union and South America each contracted by 1.9%.

In contrast, India delivered another quarter of robust performance, with production rising 9.7% y-o-y to 44.0 million MT. This underscores the country's position as the world's fastest growing steel market. India's demand is projected to increase by 7.4% in 2026 and further accelerate to 9.2% in 2027. This growth is primarily supported by sustained infrastructure led construction activity and a growing automotive sector. In addition, the expansion of the railway network, rising consumer durable sales, and continued industrial capital expenditure is also leading to higher steel consumption.

Graphite India's ongoing growth and diversification plans are progressing. The first phase of electrode capacity expansion is expected to be commissioned in the current financial year and the Synthetic Graphite Anode Materials (SGAM) project continues as previously announced.

From a broader perspective, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered its implementation phase in January 2026. This policy places a carbon cost on emission intensive production and is expected to accelerate the ongoing global shift from Blast Furnace to EAF based steelmaking. Since EAF production drives graphite electrode demand, the structural shift in global steelmaking presents a significant opportunity for Graphite India. As we enter FY2027, the Company is focused on delivering operating best practices and positioning itself to capitalize on the long term demand growth for graphite electrodes globally."

Graphite Electrode Industry Overview

Graphite India Limited

  • Governments continue to introduce stringent environmental regulations to reduce carbon related emissions, with the aim to achieve carbon neutrality targets
  • This has led to substantial decarbonization measures in developing economies with increasing support for the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) process compared with the Blast Furnace / Bessimer Oxygen Furnace (BF/BOF) process
  • Increasing adoption of the EAF process will drive the future demand for graphite electrodes
  • The use of the EAF process in the steel industry is not only important for sustainable steel production but is a more cost-effective manufacturing method
  • India's National Steel Policy 2017 has identified a roadmap for reaching 300 million MT steel production capacity by 2030
  • India is the only country in the world to have formally defined 'Green Steel,' establishing a precedent in the global transition toward sustainable development
  • Currently, the construction and infrastructure sectors account for 65% of steel consumption in India

Graphite India - At a Glance

Graphite India Limited

Company Background

Graphite India is the largest Indian producer of graphite electrodes and one of the largest globally by total capacity. Its manufacturing capacity of 80,000 tonnes per annum is spread over two plants at Durgapur and Nashik in India. The facility at Nurnberg, Germany is dedicated to manufacturing of specialty graphite products.

The Company has over 60 years of technical expertise in the industry. Exports account for less than half of the total revenues. Graphite India manufactures the full range of graphite electrodes but stays focused on the higher margin, large diameter, ultra-high power ("UHP") electrodes.

Graphite India is well positioned in the global graphite electrode industry through its quality, scale of operations and low cost production base. The Company's competitive edge was particularly evident during the last decade, when low prices for graphite electrodes resulted in many of the leading manufacturers generating losses. However, Graphite India remained consistently profitable and declared dividends.

The Company has a conservative leverage profile with significant financial capacity for organic or inorganic expansion.

Graphite India's strategy is to become further vertically integrated, continue its penetration of new markets and clients as well as pursue value enhancing inorganic growth opportunities.

The Company is enhancing its presence in value added specialty graphite products for the automotive, aerospace, metallurgical and machine tool industries.

Graphite India also has facilities designed for the manufacture of impervious graphite equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical and fertilizer industries.

The Company's Powmex Steels Division (PSD) is engaged in the business of manufacturing high speed steel and alloy steel.

The Company manufactures Calcined Petroleum Coke ("CPC") for use in electrode manufacturing. It has an installed capacity of 23 MW of hydro electric power generation. The Company has also wind power plants with an installed capacity of 18.9 MW. It also has 13.8 MWp of installed solar power plants.

The Company, through its subsidiary, has progressively acquired and now owns 60.25% stake in General Graphene Corporation, a US based company which has developed a breakthrough proprietary technology which would allow it to produce large area, high quality, low cost graphene sheets in industrial applications in scaled up commercial volumes.

Graphite India has also acquired a 45.76% stake in Godi India. This investment is part of its strategy to diversify into advanced chemistry battery technologies for the development of EV and energy storage battery cells.

Industry

Graphite electrodes are used in electric arc furnace ("EAF") based steel mills and is a consumable item for the steel industry. The graphite electrode industry is highly consolidated with the top five major global manufacturers accounting for almost 75% of the high end UHP electrode capacity. The majority of this capacity however, is currently located in high cost regions like US, Europe and Japan.
