Secondary Steel Producers: 7% Revenue Rise in FY25 - Crisil Ratings
By Rediff Money Desk, New Delhi Oct 17, 2024 15:41
Secondary long steel producers are expected to see a 7% revenue growth in FY25, driven by robust domestic demand and government spending on housing & infrastructure.
New Delhi, Oct 17 (PTI) Producers of long steel products in the secondary sector are expected to see a 7 per cent growth in their revenues in the ongoing financial year, Crisil Ratings said on Thursday.
Secondary steel makers produce recycled products using electric arc furnace (EAF) and induction furnace (IF).
Secondary steel players witnessed 4 per cent rise in their revenues in preceding 2023-24 fiscal year, the ratings agency said in its report.
"Secondary long steel producers will see revenue grow 7 per cent this fiscal, up from 4 per cent last fiscal, riding on robust domestic demand fuelled by central government spending on housing and infrastructure," it said.
This fiscal, the central government's spending on rural and urban housing and infrastructure projects, particularly under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and the National Infrastructure Pipeline, will sustain demand. The uptick seen in the first half of the fiscal will pick up pace in the second half.
Rahul Guha, Director, Crisil Ratings, said: "Steady realisation and increased volume will propel revenue of secondary long-steel producers this fiscal. Owing to higher volume, the sector's capacity utilisation will rise to 83 per cent this fiscal from 80 per cent last fiscal. As a result, Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) per tonne will increase to Rs 4,000 from Rs 3,700, leading to significantly higher cash accrual.
