The company released a transcript of its earnings call, detailing positive developments such as new mining leases, progress on strategic projects like HPQ and Rare Earths, and stable financial performance with debt reduction. Management expressed confidence in future growth and cost management strategies.
Midwest Limited has released the transcript of its Earnings Conference Call held on May 27, 2026, to discuss the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The transcript is available on the company's website. During the call, management highlighted significant developments including a new 30-year mining lease in Galaxy, which has already commenced production and is contributing to revenue. The demand for granite remains strong both domestically and in the Chinese market, with new export markets in the Middle East, Algeria, and Egypt showing increased demand for blocks.
Strategic initiatives to manage fuel costs include green EV initiatives and expanding captive solar power. The company is also progressing with its Phase 2 High Purity Quartz (HPQ) plant, expected to be commissioned in 10-12 months, with products catering to semiconductor and solar crucible industries. A key development is the partnership with Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited (KMML) to build a pilot plant for Rare Earths, involving an investment of approximately ₹20 crore. This project marks a significant milestone for the company in handling monazite and producing Rare Earth oxides.
Financially, for Q4 FY26, consolidated revenue stood at ₹215 crore, with EBITDA at 27% and PAT at 17.16%. For the full year, revenue was ₹645 crore, a 3% increase from the previous year's ₹626 crore. EBITDA was 27.01% and PAT was 16.49%. The company reduced its debt by ₹50 crore and improved working capital days from 122 to 104. The granite standalone segment showed stable EBITDA of 27.55% and PAT of 17.47%. The Quartz segment incurred costs of approximately ₹6 crore due to initial glitches, which are expected to stabilize.
The company is targeting 60% capacity utilization for its Quartz plant in the current year, with plans to reach higher production levels quarter-on-quarter. Phase 2 of the Quartz expansion, with a capex of ₹125-130 crore, is planned for commissioning by Q4 of the current year, with production expected from Q1 of the next year. The Phase 1 plant primarily serves the engineered stone and solar markets, with prices for solar grade at ₹7,000 and engineered stone ranging from ₹9,000 to ₹14,500 per tonne. Phase 2 will focus more on engineered stone and also include HPQ.
Regarding heavy mineral sands in Sri Lanka, progress is dependent on the government's new policy, expected in June. The KMML Rare Earths pilot project is set to begin in early July and will run for six months, with commercialization anticipated soon after. The company is focused on organic growth and securing new concessions, particularly for granite and Rare Earths, and is not actively pursuing acquisitions at present.
