Operating EBITDA: Rs 324 Cr (24% margin). PAT: Rs 216 Cr.

Profitability dipped YoY due to lower sales realizations, though QoQ EBITDA improved.

Pellet and steel prices are trending up.

The company maintained a strong FY25 net cash position of Rs 863 Cr. **2. Strategic Initiatives & Growth Drivers:** GPIL plans major capacity expansions for iron ore mining (to 6.0 MnT) and pellets (to 4.7 MnT) by FY26. New ventures include a 0.7 MnT Cold Rolled Steel complex (Rs 900 Cr) and a 10 GW Battery Energy Storage Plant (Rs 700 Cr). Decarbonisation targets Net Zero by 2050. **3. Business Developments:** Boria Tibu Mines operations resumed.

GPIL diversified into non-ferrous metal recycling by acquiring a 43.96% stake in Jammu Pigments Ltd., aiming for synergy.

PGCIL approval for steel billet supply enhances market reach. **4. Market Position & Competitive Advantage:** Captive iron ore mines (165 MnT reserves) provide a strong cost advantage.

High-grade pellets command a premium of Rs 1,000–1,500 per Ton.

GPIL is well-positioned to benefit from India's robust steel demand fueled by infrastructure growth. **5. Investor Implications:** Despite Q1's realization impact, GPIL's aggressive expansions and strategic diversification into BESS/metal recycling indicate positive growth potential.

Robust net cash supports capex.
