Major Q&A Summary from Kirloskar Ferrous Q1 FY '26 Earnings Call

Question 1: Can you let us know what kind of power cost are we incurring as a percentage of sales for the tubes division? R. V. Gumaste: Last year, our power cost was 8.9% of sales, while this year it's 6.1% due to commissioning our 70 MW plant. We expect further reductions post-commissioning of windmills.


Question 2: What kind of benefits can we expect post-commissioning of the mini blast furnace at Koppal for the tubes division? R. V. Gumaste: We plan to convert one mini blast furnace pig iron into steel, enhancing value addition by about Rs. 12 per kg. The CAPEX for this project is expected to be around Rs. 700-800 crores, taking 2-2.5 years to operationalize.


Question 3: What is hindering the margins from growing in the tubes division? R. V. Gumaste: Chinese dumping has significantly impacted margins. We are pushing the government for action, as this price war particularly affects line pipes, resulting in substantial margin loss.


Question 4: What volume growth do you anticipate across your three business divisions for this year? R. V. Gumaste: We aim for 260,000 metric tons for casting, expand steel to 650,000 metric tons, and target tube production at 200,000 metric tons, eventually reaching 300,000 to 350,000 metric tons.


Question 5: What are the CAPEX plans for this year and next? R. V. Gumaste: We plan CAPEX of Rs. 500-600 crores for FY '26, focusing on green energy projects and upgrading facilities, with an additional Rs. 2,000-2,500 crores needed over the next 3-4 years for various expansions.


Question 6: Can you elaborate on the Jambunatha Mine's production capacity and plans? R. V. Gumaste: The EC capacity of this mine is 1.2 million tons per annum. We aim to mine quality iron ore while managing premiums and cost effectively through techniques such as beneficiation.


Question 7: Can we expect any profit margins from the peaks in our segments soon? R. V. Gumaste: The tube division expects 14%-16% EBITDA margins if steel manufacturing costs are managed well. Growth to these margins depends on managing costs and increasing efficiency without being affected by market headwinds.


Question 8: What is the timeline for NSE listing? R. S. Srivatsan: Our application for NSE will be made soon, aiming for completion of merger activities first. We plan to file in the current quarter.
