💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Consolidated revenue for FY25 was INR 628.62 Cr, a 5.09% YoY increase. Q2 FY26 operating income stood at INR 144.89 Cr. The Pipes and Tubes segment contract was extended to H1 FY27 with an expected revenue of INR 365 Cr. Proprietary sales in Q2 FY26 were approximately 2,000-3,000 tons, representing a small but growing portion of the CRM complex revenue.

Geographic Revenue Split

100% of revenue is generated in India. The company is headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, with primary processing centers in Jamshedpur and Howrah. A new Greenfield Downstream Steel Complex is being established in Bokaro, Jharkhand, to leverage proximity to raw material sources.

Profitability Margins

Q2 FY26 EBITDA margin was 25.5% and PAT margin was 10.3%. FY25 PAT was INR 74.84 Cr, up 17.31% YoY from INR 63.80 Cr. Margins are expected to moderate to approximately 11% by FY28 as the company transitions from a conversion model (mid-20s margins) to an integrated model where raw material costs (80% of revenue) are included on the books.

EBITDA Margin

Operating EBITDA for Q2 FY26 was INR 36.91 Cr, representing a 25.5% margin and a 4.8% YoY growth. FY25 EBITDA was INR 147.09 Cr, a 6.78% decrease from FY24's INR 157.06 Cr.

Capital Expenditure

The company is undertaking an INR 800 Cr capital expenditure program. This includes the Greenfield Downstream Steel Complex at Bokaro, which is being funded through a combination of internal accruals and debt.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

BMWIL successfully tied up INR 500 Cr in debt from a consortium led by SBI, HDFC Bank, and Yes Bank for the Bokaro project. Management stated that debt is currently a cheaper source of capital than equity for their expansion needs.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key raw materials include HR coils and semi-finished steel. In the legacy conversion model, customers supply these free of cost. In the new integrated model, steel inputs will comprise approximately 80% of total revenue costs. Zinc is another key material, the cost of which is passed through to customers.

Import Sources

Raw materials are primarily sourced domestically, specifically from marquee steel manufacturers in proximity to the company's plants in Jamshedpur, Howrah, and Bokaro.

Key Suppliers

Marquee steel manufacturers supply raw materials; while specific names like SAIL or TATA are not explicitly listed as suppliers in the text, the company processes products for 'marquee steel manufacturers' and is located near major steel hubs.

Capacity Expansion

The company operates 7 manufacturing units. Phase 1 of the Bokaro Greenfield project is on track for commercial operations in Q1 FY27, focusing on color-coated products. Trials are expected to begin in Q4 FY26.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs for FY25 were INR 198.80 Cr, up 6.77% YoY. In the integrated model, raw material exposure will increase significantly, representing 80% of the revenue structure compared to the legacy conversion model which had limited exposure.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The company has processed over 50 million tonnes of steel over 30 years. The Bokaro plant is expected to ramp up quickly as it was an operating plant prior to acquisition/integration.

Logistics & Distribution

The company maintains a dedicated fleet of 100+ trucks to support cost-effective and smooth logistics, reducing transportation risks.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

75%

Growth Strategy
