Executive summary

• FY2022-23 delivered higher sales volumes and strong financial growth, supported by a favorable product mix, managed raw-material costs and eased supply-chain constraints.

• Mining conversion from forged grinding media to high-chrome solutions remains the primary growth opportunity; management expects continued volume growth from mining.

Financial highlights

• Consolidated revenue from operations was ₹4,90,876.87 lakh vs ₹3,56,654.73 lakh; total income was ₹5,14,330.81 lakh vs ₹3,72,283.74 lakh.

Outlook and guidance

• Management expects incremental volume growth of 25,000–30,000 tonnes YoY, largely from mining, as new customer acquisition resumes.

• Mining growth is underpinned by low 20%–25% high-chrome penetration in targeted gold, copper and iron ore grinding markets, plus mill-liner opportunities.

• Cement demand is expected to grow ~3%–4% worldwide and at a near double-digit rate in India; supplies are expected to grow in tandem, with share gains adding potential upside.
