2-Min Summary
Gravita India reported a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,172.76 crore (+13% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹112.91 crore (+4% YoY), though margins compressed to 9.63% due to Middle East disruptions impacting value-added product sales. Full-year revenue grew 10% to ₹4,265 crore and PAT rose 21% to ₹378.80 crore, driven by capacity additions and operational efficiencies. The company is aggressively expanding into copper, lithium-ion, and rubber recycling, with a total capex plan of ₹1,700 crore through FY29. Management guided for 20-25% volume CAGR over the next three years, with copper EBITDA per ton expected to rise from ₹45,000 to ₹65,000 post-backward integration. Key risk: Middle East tensions could continue to pressure near-term margins and delay volume recovery in value-added segments.

medium · management_commentaryNotable Quotes
We are very confident of getting a CAGR of 20 to 25% in volume terms consistently over the next three years.
The overall margins definitely we would plan to increase... from current around 8% to around 9 to 10% in next two to three years.
We are not expecting any major revenue in this year from lithium-ion battery recycling... if something comes that would be over and above the guidance.
