Oil & gas sector API pipe volumes declined 35% YoY in Q3, impacting ~₹89 crore of steel EBITDA. While management expects Q1 FY27 recovery with Jal Jeevan Mission tenders, the timing remains uncertain and analyst questioned whether weakness extends 2-3 quarters.
Analyst raised concern that EBITDA has been flat for 3 years and management has consistently missed guidance targets. Steel EBITDA margin at ~₹4,800-4,900/ton is below historical levels, with management acknowledging headwinds from HR coil pricing and selective order avoidance.
~10,000 tons annually of European exports face disadvantage from CBAM; management offsetting via Middle East and Africa expansion but incremental costs remain. Analyst also raised green steel certification as potential mitigation requiring renewable energy adoption.
Multiple analysts pressed on shareholder returns via buyback or de-merger given accumulated cash surplus and zero-debt status. Management acknowledged suggestions as valid but provided only verbal commitment to interim dividends and board discussions without concrete timeline.
