Q1 FY26 Financial Performance

Revenue from operations stood at Rs 13.23 billion, down 1 per cent year-on-year and 10 per cent quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to a decline in realisations.
EBITDA was reported at Rs 3.24 billion, reflecting a 2 per cent increase QoQ, but a 20 per cent decline YoY.
Profit After Tax (PAT) came in at Rs 2.16 billion, a decline of 2 per cent QoQ and 25 per cent YoY.
EBITDA and PAT margins remained strong at 24 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively.

Operational and Strategic Updates

Volume Guidance Progress: GPIL achieved 25 per cent of its FY26 rolled products volume guidance and 30 per cent for ferro alloys. Other segments are between 20–23 per cent of target.
New Capital Expenditure: The Board approved Rs 16 billion in new capital expenditure across two projects, to be funded via 40:60 equity-debt mix.
CRM Complex: A 0.7 million-tonne Cold Rolling Mill (CRM) facility with Rs 9 billion capex, including pre-operational expenses and working capital margins.
Storage Battery Plant: A 10 GW plant with Rs 7 billion capex through wholly owned subsidiary Godawari New Energy Pvt. Ltd.

Ongoing Capex:

Mining expansion approvals expected by Q3 FY26, operations to start in Q4 FY26.

Commenting on the performance, Mr B.L. Agrawal, Chairman and Managing Director, stated, “Despite lower realisations in Q1 FY26, we maintained robust margins. Our new CRM and battery ventures will drive diversification and long-term synergies. With a strong net cash position and strategic investments in mining and pellets, GPIL is well-poised for sustainable growth.”
