Graphite India Discontinues Operations of Specialized Divisions in Germany Amid Market Weakness
Graphite India Ltd has announced the discontinuation and closure of its Graphite Specialities and Coating divisions located in Germany. The decision was made following an internal review, citing the adverse impact on competitiveness caused by the ongoing Russia Ukraine crisis and weak demand.The local management at Graphite India determined that these divisions could no longer sustain operations under current market conditions. The closures are planned for a timeframe of approximately six months, contingent upon discussions with the local Works Council.
The affected divisions contributed specific financial metrics to the consolidated entity during the last financial year. While the company overall reported a Consolidated Net Worth of INR 5859 crores, the German divisions' performance data was as follows:
| Particulars | Financial Metric (FY25-26) | Contribution Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Turnover/Revenue | INR 1,05,29,07,925 | 4% |
| Net Worth as on March 31, 2026 | Negative INR (3,22,52,74,216) | -6% |
The closure directly addresses the lasting market challenges created by the geopolitical crisis and declining demand observed in the relevant markets.
