MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Signals from filed documents
Capital expenditure of ₹49 crores was funded entirely through operating cash flows during the year. The ₹307.5 crores raised through QIP and preferential allotments over the past two years has been fully deployed towards capacity expansion and other purposes given in the placement document. This combination of strong internal cash generation and careful equity deployment allowed us to grow lead capacity by over 50% a
LOOKING AHEAD WITH CONFIDENCE Our financial plan for Target 2030 rests on three connected goals: EBITDA margins above 8% (up from 7.4% in FY26), ROCE above 20% (up from 17% today), and revenue growth of over 20% CAGR. Reaching these targets will require continued margin expansion, disciplined use of capital, and a product mix that generates higher returns on every rupee invested. Value-added products — targeted to ma
Our debt-to-equity ratio remained at zero, as we carried no long-term debt — even while completing one of the largest capacity expansion programmes in the Company’s history. WHAT DROVE THE NUMBERS FY2025–26’s record performance had one clear driver: operating leverage. As volumes grew through the Thervoykandigai ramp-up and the copper expansion, our fixed costs were spread across a larger output base, which improved
At the same time, the industry is witnessing increasing focus on environmentally compliant recycling practices, secondary lead recovery, and operational efficiency improvements. These developments are expected to support balanced supply conditions and relatively stable pricing trends in the coming years. INDIAN LEAD MARKET REVIEW11 Demand for lead in India remained healthy during the year, supported by sustained cons
Compliance requires continuous investments in pollution control systems and sustainable technologies. Competition from the Informal Sector In many countries, unorganised recyclers operate with lower compliance costs, creating pricing pressure for organised players. Informal operations may also affect raw material sourcing and market discipline.
As of March 31, 2026, POCL had 492 permanent employees on its payroll. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS OPPORTUNITIES Opportunities Description Rising Demand for Recycled Metals Increasing focus on sustainability, circular economy practices, and environmental regulations is driving higher demand for recycled lead, copper, plastics, and other non-ferrous metals across domestic and international markets. Capacity Expansion Th
Ashish Bansal: I think some time back, very precisely the same thing I explained, but nevertheless, I'll explain this once more. So basically, as I explained earlier to another gentleman who asked a similar question was that the blended margin guidance on the cathode will be approximately 60,000 to 65,000, but definitely that should go up once the efficiencies come in. And whatever we sell the recycled product direct
2015 Established Smelter Division II (SMD-II) in Andhra Pradesh with 24,000 MTPA capacity; Expanded SMD-I capacity from 28,200 to 36,000 MTPA. Expansion and Market Leadership Long-term Roadmap Diversification and Strategic Growth 2018 Expanded SMD-II capacity from 24,000 to 36,000 MTPA. 2026-2027 Expansion and commencement of Copper Cathode production in FY27; Exploring new verticals in recycling.
So we are sure that we will be able to increase the number on that, but a bare minimum of INR60,000 to INR65,000 per ton will be achieved on this cathode part. So sir, since we have like higher copper cathode facility, are we also like planning to increase our copper recycling facility for the backward integration around 12,000... Ashish Bansal: Yes, we probably will, but we will look at it at that point in time base
On a consolidated basis, the same momentum continued with revenue, EBITDA and PAT increasing by 55%, 33% and 43% year -on-year, respectively, driven by higher volumes, improved product mix and enhanced operational efficiencies. As we move forward, we remain confident in our long -term growth journey. Our target 2030 road map is focused on delivering over 15% volume growth, 20% plus CAGR in revenue and profitability,
Capacity Expansion The Company’s ongoing expansion across lead and copper recycling capacities is expected to support higher production volumes, operational scale, and long-term revenue growth. Supportive Regulatory Environment Strengthening implementation of BWMR and EPR frameworks is improving organised scrap collection, increasing traceability, and enhancing domestic scrap availability for organised recyclers.
