Managing Director’s Comments

Mr. Alok Krishna, Managing Director of Tata Metaliks said: “Pig Iron business was adversely affected by weak market sentiments of commodity prices. Domestic demand of Pig Iron is expected to firm up in the coming quarters as utilization levels in several segments like General Castings and Agriculture are likely to improve. The imported coal price is expected to remain range bound as indicated by the trend of Coal futures.

The Company’s DIPipe business has a healthy order book for FY’24 execution because of robust demand for the Government’s water infrastructure projects. The Company is geared up and well-positioned to meet this high demand in the upcoming quarters through additional volumes from the new DI Pipe plant. The new DI Pipe plant has been ramping up well with volumes increasing Q-o-Q.”
