Baheti Recycling Industries Ltd - Undervalued and Growth?

Incorporated in 1994, Baheti Recycling Industries Ltd manufactures and trades non-ferrous metal.

Business Overview: [1]
BRIL is an aluminum recycling company primarily engaged in processing aluminum based metal scrap to manufacture aluminum alloys in the form of ingots and aluminum deox alloys in the form of cubes, ingots, shots and notch bar.

Product Use case [1] Aluminum alloys are used in automobile components due to their stiffness, corrosion resistance, and strength to weight ratio, while Aluminum de-ox alloys are used as deoxidizer in steel manufacturing units.

Trading Business [1] Company is also engaged in the trading of scrap materials such as aluminum scrap, brass scrap, copper scrap, zinc scrap, etc.

  1. Aluminum Ingots:
    Corrosion resistance, Seamless finish, Tensile strength, Dimensional accuracy
  2. Aluminum Cubes:
    Accurate dimensions, Fine finish, Corrosion resistance, Optimum heat tolerance
  3. Aluminum Shots:
    Fine finish, High tensile strength, Corrosion & Abrasion resistance, Easy to mould
  4. Aluminum Notch bar:
    Optimum resistance against corrosion, Fine finish, Durability, Lightweight
  5. Aluminum Alloy Ingots:

Promoter Holding
As it is new listing there is no data on how they behave but for now it is 73%

Red Flags

  1. Debt
    The company currently have debt of 100cr vs 180cr of market cap which is higher for me

  2. CashFlows
    Not sure if it is bad but there is some negetive cashflows

Good

  1. Sales Growth
    The company has seen exponential sales growth in last 3-4 years

  2. Profitability Ratios
    I belive more in ROCE and that ratio is looking good if they maintains this then it could turn into something good. ROIC and ROE are also looking good

  3. Salaries
    I would say they are under control for the company of this size

I have started keeping track of this company, will make decision post March 24 results. Just for reference in Listed in Dec’22 and 4X the IPO price, so that’s also one thing to consider.

Their sales growth in excellent. i have invested at around 200. Their recent capex of installing two melting furnaces will contribute 24000MT along with existing 12000MT facility. New capex will start contributing from mid march 2024, so some revenue contribution for the upcoming results. But you would see great growth in the coming years.

Industry insights

  • Billet demand is rising due to India’s extrusion industry growing at 6–8% CAGR
  • Players like Hindalco, Jindal Aluminium, Arfin are already integrated or serve this space

Requires homogeneous casting, minimal gas porosity — something Baheti’s new TRFs can handle

ConcallQ4FY25:

  • Zinc alloy foundries are less capex-heavy than aluminium and give faster payback with lower melting point (419°C vs 660°C for Al), reducing energy cost.

H2FY25 concall and investor presentation:

“We are closely looking to the way forward in zinc alloy and aluminium billets and it is under process and mostly it will get completed by this financial year end.” — Yash Shah, JMD

  • Focusing South india - Ashok Leyland, TVS got onboarded too

  • Also got an order from Minda corp

  • Yield impact using modernization of furnaces

  • With new TRFs, Baheti gets ~2% better yield. So, if they process 18,610 tons/year:
    Old Furnace Yield: ~92–93% = ~17,100 tons usable metal

TRF Yield: ~95% = ~17,680 tons usable metal

------Impact: Extra ~580 tons/year = ₹14–16 Cr revenue uplift at ₹25–28/kg-----

IATF Certification
“The IATF certificate, the utmost certificate, will be granted by June end 2025. It will help us to enter directly into big OEMs like Maruti, Bajaj.”
