Electrosteel Castings reported a weak Q3 FY26 with consolidated total income of ₹1,526 crore and EBITDA of ₹88 crore (margin 5.8%), impacted by a 31% YoY drop in DI pipe sales volume to 1.34 lakh tonnes. Domestic demand remained subdued due to a government spending freeze under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), though export volumes grew 11% QoQ. Management expects a gradual recovery from April 2026 as pending JJM funds (₹17,000 crore central share) are released. The company is diversifying into high-tech valves via an Italian acquisition. Key risk: sustained demand weakness if fund releases are further delayed, prolonging the current trough.
इलेक्ट्रोस्टील कास्टिंग्स की तीसरी तिमाही (अक्टूबर-दिसंबर 2025) कमजोर रही। कंपनी की कुल आय ₹1,526 करोड़ और EBITDA ₹88 करोड़ (5.8% मार्जिन) रही। इसकी मुख्य वजह डीआई पाइप की बिक्री में 31% की गिरावट (1.34 लाख टन) है। सरकार ने जल जीवन मिशन (JJM) के तहत खर्च रोक दिया, जिससे देश में मांग कम हुई। हालांकि, निर्यात पिछली तिमाही से 11% बढ़ा। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि अप्रैल 2026 से सुधार शुरू होगा, जब JJM के ₹17,000 करोड़ के बकाया फंड जारी होंगे। साथ ही, कंपनी इटली से हाई-टेक वाल्व खरीदकर नए कारोबार में उतर रही है। खतरा: अगर फंड जारी होने में और देरी हुई, तो मांग कमजोर बनी रहेगी।
