Q3 2026 Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Ltd Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd (BOM:533047) reported a robust set of numbers for Q3 FY '26, with EBITDA and PAT numbers showing significant improvement due to better ferrochrome pricing.

- The ongoing expansion and acquisition plans, including the greenfield project at Kalinganagar, are on track, with the first furnace expected to be commissioned in June 2026.
- The company is fully integrated, with captive mines and power generation, which enhances its resilience and competitiveness.
- IMFA has a strong cash position and plans to fund the Tata acquisition entirely through internal accruals, maintaining a conservative approach to debt.
- There is a slight increase in power generation costs due to rising coal prices, which could impact overall cost stability.
- The company faces potential challenges from South African ferrochrome producers, who may increase production due to reduced power tariffs.
- There is a delay in the commissioning of the ethanol project, which was initially targeted for February but is now expected in March 2026.
