Management Commentary
Mr. C. P. Agrawal, Chairman and Managing Director of Gallantt Ispat Limited, provided commentary on the results. He stated that Q1 FY27 was influenced by a seasonally slow quarter for the industry, particularly citing monsoon impact on construction output and long product prices like TMT. Costs for coal and iron ore also saw upward pressure across the industry, amplified by geopolitical tensions in regions such as the Middle East, which affected global freight and input costs.Despite these challenges, Agrawal noted that the operating performance held up sequentially. The EBITDA margin improved 50 basis points quarter-on-quarter to 18%, while PAT remained stable at ₹124 crore, although both figures were below last year's strong base.
The Chairman also provided an update on future strategy:
- The company's ₹3,000 crore expansion project targeting 1.23 MMTPA remains on track for the second half (H2) of FY27.
- Targeted captive iron ore blocks in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are scheduled for FY2028, which is expected to improve cost positioning and raw material security moving forward.
