Graphite India Management Take on FY25 Earnings Highlights

K K Bangur, Chairman, said, “During FY2025, Graphite India delivered Consolidated Net Sales of Rs. 2,560 Cr, a decline of 13.2% compared to last year, due to lower realisations, despite higher volumes. The Company registered EBITDA of Rs. 692 Cr and a PAT of Rs. 458 Cr. The standalone capacity utilisation during the quarter was 81% as compared to 93% in Q4 FY24. With a well-capitalised balance sheet, the Net Cash balance at the end of March 2025 was Rs. 4,005 Cr.

Global steel production during the quarter reflected a general slowdown across major economies, with overall output declining except in India. China’s production dropped by 1.2% year-on-year, slightly less than the average global contraction of 1.5%. In sharp contrast, India registered a 7.5% year-on-year increase in steel production, highlighting the resilience of the country’s economic growth. 

Indian steel consumption is expected to reach 300 million tonnes by 2030 as investments in construction, infrastructure, general engineering, automobile and other sectors continue with momentum. Recent tariff measures by the U.S. are expected to have limited impact on Indian steel producers, given their relatively low level of exports. Looking forward, the outlook for the global steel industry is cautiously optimistic, as it navigates the near term challenges related to demand, price volatility and international trade policies.
