IMFA Q1 PAT Rises to Rs 914.8 Million on Higher Ferro Chrome

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd (IMFA), India’s leading fully integrated ferro alloys producer, announced its results for the quarter ended 30 June 2025 (Q1 FY26), reporting a significant improvement in financial performance driven by rising ferro chrome prices and operational efficiency.

The Company recorded standalone revenue of Rs 6.42 billion, with EBITDA of Rs 1.25 billion and net profit (PAT) of Rs 914.8 million. EBITDA margin stood at 19.56 per cent, and PAT margin was 14.26 per cent. Earnings per share (not annualised) came in at Rs 16.96. Exports for the quarter reached Rs 5.56 billion, up from Rs 4.74 billion in Q4 FY25.

Operational Highlights:
  • Ferro chrome production rose to 65,929 tonnes, up from 60,976 tonnes in Q1 FY25.
  • Ferro chrome sales reached 66,580 tonnes.
  • Power generation stood at 278 million units.
  • Chrome ore raising for the quarter totalled 103,780 tonnes.
Strategic Projects and Financial Health:
  • The Kalinganagar greenfield expansion project remains on schedule.
  • Initial development work continues for the Sukinda underground mining project.
  • Construction of the ethanol project has commenced and is progressing as planned.
  • As of 30 June 2025, the Company remains free of long-term debt, supporting robust financial flexibility.
Management Commentary:
Mr Subhrakant Panda, Managing Director of IMFA, stated:

“Ferro chrome prices rebounded during the first quarter of FY26, signalling a trend reversal. Combined with steady operations and strong cost control, this drove our improved financial performance. With global tariff uncertainties easing and inflation staying muted, we anticipate better global trade dynamics.”

He added: “Given the constraints in chrome ore procurement faced by non-integrated Indian producers and global alloy production cutbacks, we expect ferro chrome prices to rise further. This aligns well with our ongoing capacity expansion, scheduled to begin commissioning by mid-2026.”
