Ratnamani Metals (520111) Nov 2025 Filing Analysis
Does management do what it says?
The expansion is underway to increase capacity from 1,200 MT to 4,000 MT (3.33x increase), with completion expected by the end of the current financial year. (1 met across 1 tracked commitment)
“But by the end of this financial year, as we are expanding capacity in RFSS, we will have 3,000 to 4,000 tons of capacity. So, from next year onwards, at peak utilization we can touch a revenue of INR 600 crores to INR 650 crores.”
Management noted that while gross margins were maintained at 34%, EBITDA declined marginally by 1% on a full-year basis, and the shift toward lower-margin water application orders in the carbon steel segment pressured overall margins. (1 missed, 1 exceeded across 2 tracked commitments)
“we expect that a strong focus on operational efficiency and cost control should help maintaining EBITDA in the range of 16% to 18%.”
The subsidiary Ratnamani Finow Spooling Solutions (RFSS) reported a turnover of only Rs. 56 crores for the year, significantly missing the Rs. 150 crore target due to dispatch delays and inventory buildup. (1 missed, 1 exceeded, 1 in progress across 3 tracked commitments)
“including the commissioning of Phase I of the Odisha Plant, with Phase II (Coating Plant) expected in the next quarter.”

How durable is the business?
The Carbon Steel segment is seeing significant capacity expansion and technological upgrades. The company pioneered hydrogen-compliant carbon steel welded pipelines in India and is expanding CSAW pipe capacity from 48,000 MT to 75,000 MT. (1 expanding)
“The production capacity for CSAW pipes will increase from 48,000 MT to 75,000 MT, with a maximum pipe diameter of 200”.”
The Stainless Steel segment is showing volume growth of approximately 10% half-yearly, though revenue growth is muted due to a correction in commodity prices and product mix changes. (2 expanding)
“If we see half yearly, there is both in carbon steel and stainless steel, the volumes have gone up. Maybe on an average, 10% what we had guided. However, the commodity prices have corrected both in stainless steel and carbon steel... which, of course, has resulted in the revenue growth not seen.”
