📊 NSE: MMTC 🏢 Trading 📅 Last Updated: 12/14/2025 9:55

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total operating income declined by 49.6% from INR 5.34 Cr in FY24 to INR 2.69 Cr in FY25. Segment-specific growth is not applicable as the company has ceased active business operations across its six major divisions (minerals, metals, precious metals, agro products, fertilizers, and coal).

Geographic Revenue Split

Not disclosed in available documents, though historically focused on facilitating India's foreign trade. Current revenue is minimal (INR 2.69 Cr) and likely derived from residual domestic activities or asset disposals.

Profitability Margins

Operating margins are deeply negative due to the lack of scale; PBILDT stood at INR -138.66 Cr in FY25. However, the company reported a Net Profit (PAT) of INR 69.53 Cr in FY25, a 1.9% increase from INR 68.21 Cr in FY24, primarily driven by 'Other Income' of INR 567 Cr and exceptional items related to asset sales.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin is not meaningful as PBILDT is a loss of INR 138.66 Cr against a revenue of only INR 2.69 Cr. Core profitability has vanished as the company awaits a final announcement on the closure of operations.

Capital Expenditure

Historical Capex is not detailed; however, the company is currently in a divestment and liquidation phase rather than an expansion phase, following the strategic sale of its interest in Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (NINL) for a portion of the INR 12,100 Cr aggregate consideration.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CARE Ratings has withdrawn all ratings (previously CARE D; Issuer Not Cooperating) as of October 27, 2025, because the company has repaid its bank facilities in full. Overall gearing is 0.00 as of March 31, 2025.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The trading and distribution industry for PSUs is disrupting as the government moves toward privatization and direct procurement, leading to the closure of legacy canalizing agencies like MMTC.

Competitive Landscape

The company no longer competes with private traders like Adani Enterprises or Vedant as it has exited the market.

Competitive Moat

The historical moat was a government-mandated monopoly on certain imports/exports (canalization). This moat has been entirely dismantled by policy changes, making the business model unsustainable.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to government policy regarding Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and foreign trade canalization. The shift away from canalization has led to the company's obsolescence.

Consumer Behavior

Not applicable as the company is a B2B/G2G trader.

Geopolitical Risks

Historically impacted by global commodity prices and trade barriers; currently, the main risk is the domestic regulatory decision to close the entity.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Under the administrative control of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry. Operations are governed by the Department of Disinvestment & Public Asset Management (DIPAM) closure guidelines.

Environmental Compliance

Not applicable as the company has no manufacturing operations.

Taxation Policy Impact

The company reported a tax expense despite operating losses, likely due to taxes on 'Other Income' and asset sales. Tax % was 2% in the most recent quarter.

Legal Contingencies

Ongoing discussions and potential disputes regarding the waiver of penal interest and other charges on previously outstanding bank debt. Specific case values for other legacy labor or consumer disputes are not disclosed.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the timing and final terms of the formal closure of operations, which could impact the residual value for the 10.07% non-promoter shareholders.
