He adds, “The timing of our expansion was opportune, considering the strong demand for stainless steel, both domestically and internationally. We have also been in a sound financial position, with our net debt/EBITDA for FY23 at 0.7, one of the best as per industry standards. Currently, our melting capacity in Hisar and Jajpur stand at 0.8 mtpa and 2.1 mtpa, respectively.

We will focus on stabilising the current expansion for the next couple of years.”
