* IMFA acquires Tata Steel's ferro chrome plant at Kalinganagar for ₹610 crore, financed from internal accruals. * The acquisition includes a 99 MVA furnace capacity (66 MVA existing with 100,000 tpa output and 33 MVA under construction with 50,000 tpa output) on 115 acres of land. * The deal is expected to close in 3 months. * Post-acquisition, IMFA's total installed capacity will exceed 0.5 million tonnes, with FY27 production projected at approximately 400,000 tonnes, scaling up to approximately 475,000 tonnes in FY28. * IMFA becomes India’s largest producer of ferro chrome and the 6th largest globally. * The Board also approved the Q2 FY26 financial results and announced a 50% (₹5 per share) interim dividend. * Q2 FY26 standalone results: Revenue ₹718.65 crore, EBITDA ₹138.34 crore, PAT ₹98.77 crore, and Exports ₹603.96 crore. * Mr. Subhrakant Panda, Managing Director, commented that ferro chrome prices moved up noticeably towards the end of the second quarter due to elevated chrome ore costs for non-integrated producers and a sharp cutback in output in South Africa, and expects to see the full impact in the ongoing quarter with the increase in benchmark as well as higher spot prices.
