Electrosteel Castings Limited has released the transcript of their Q1 FY27 earnings conference call, which was held on August 07, 2026. The call focused on the company's performance and outlook.
During the call, management discussed the challenging ductile iron pipe industry environment due to slower project execution and delayed fund disbursements. However, they highlighted the positive impact of the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 with an enhanced outlay of ₹8.69 lakh crore and continued focus on AMRUT 2.0 and river linking projects. The company also noted strong performance from its overseas subsidiaries in the UK, Europe, and the USA, as well as the acquisition of T.I.S. Service S.p.A. Italy, which expanded its product portfolio and global presence. T.I.S. delivered EUR 10 million in revenue in the quarter with EBITDA margins in the mid-teens. The company expects its valves manufacturing facility in India to commence operations by the end of FY27, with a target to double revenue from the valve segment in four years.
Electrosteel Castings is also diversifying into the industrial paints and protective coatings business, aiming for annual revenues of ₹800-1,000 crore in five years with a phased CAPEX of ₹250-300 crore. The first phase of investment will be in West Bengal, with commercial production expected post Q1 FY28.
Financially, for Q1 FY27, consolidated total income stood at ₹1,465 crore, with EBITDA at ₹139 crore (9.5% margin) and PAT at ₹48.4 crore. Standalone total income was ₹1,119 crore, with EBITDA at ₹70.6 crore (6.3% margin) and PAT at ₹5.9 crore. Sales volume for DI pipes and fittings and CI pipes was 1.20 lakh tons, down 27% year-on-year, primarily due to a slowdown in the domestic market and impact from Middle East tensions on exports.
Management provided guidance for FY27 volumes at around 575,000 tons, with exports expected to be 22-25% of total volumes. They anticipate growth to accelerate in the second half of FY27. The company is also exploring opportunities in the marine application of paints and expanding its presence in the ferroalloy business.
