Thanks so a ton!

Did anyone ask or did they speak about profitability / margins in Q2 or FY23 full year guidance?

Also, so much talk and focus on expansion makes me tense. I was sure Coke oven is an absolutely good investment. Not sure about DI pipe

There was no discussion/comment on forward-looking nos or guidance.

Hi @ayushmit Sandur Manganese has mentioned in a press release that the cost of the DI and Pig Iron Plant has been raised to 2200 cr < combined capacity of 0.4 Million Tons> Any idea why the cost for the plant is so high?

Seems like the management has also increased the scope (reproduced in the snippet below), but @ayushmit might be able to share more regarding the cost

Also, 3L TPA DI Pipe might be able to generate 1500-1800cr (50-60k/ton) and 1L TPA Pig Iron might be able to generate 200-300cr (20-30k/ton), given that max combined output is 4L TPA.
For Asset Turn ~1 and ~15% margins, is this a good enough investment?
(Please let me know in case I’m missing anything)

Public hearing for Iron ore capacity expansion & benefication plant was completed on 6th Dec, 2022. Proceeding notes from this hearing are now available -
public_hearing_proceedings.pdf (2.5 MB)
Proceedings have very positive testimonials and feedback for Sandur from nearby villagers. All of the testimonials were positive and were in support of the proposal.

Post public hearing, EAC meeting for EC approval was conducted on 17th Jan, 2023. Outcome of the meeting is awaited.

Outcome of the EAC meetings are generally available in couple of weeks from the meeting date. If the outcome is positive with committee recommending instant EC approval, it generally takes couple of weeks (post meeting outcome) for EC approval to arrive. If this goes well, we might see FY24 with higher volumes along with better iron ore grade.

Good work Tarang (@tpatel) in finding the Proceedings of the Environmental Public Hearing (EPH). Very positive. Pleasure to read views/ opinions/ objections/ suggestions of the public gathered in the Dec 6, 2022 meeting.


The ~3x iron ore capacity expansion and beneficiation plant proposal was considered by the EAC in Jan 17-18, 2023 meeting. The minutes of the meeting (MoM) is available here. The MoM has the long and much awaited green signal for EC grant.

Can some kind soul explain to me what is causing such increase in material cost ?Any site to track the material price every month will be of immense help.

Technicals look favourable at this juncture, however its not clear if the material costs will cool off.

Steelmint’s team visited Sandur’s mines last month. The mines look quite well maintained. They have shared a few pictures on twitter-
https://twitter.com/SteelMint/status/1617405571719921664
“One of the most systematic mining facilities with a current iron ore capacity of 1.6 mnt, which will be increased to 4.5 mnt”

Thinking about the execution risk with DI plant commissioning and stabilization: -
Company recently (Oct 2022) hired a Chief Operating Officer who was with Tata group since 2013 and was VP of operations of Tata Metaliks for last 5 years.

For Tata Metaliks, utilization levels of DI pipe have been 80-90% in FY22. This experience should come handy in stabilizing DI plant for Sandur.


Additionally, Tata Metaliks do not have captive iron ore and buys from Tata Steel. In FY22, Iron ore constituted ~38% of total raw material costs and ~23% of revenue for Tata Metaliks.

Tata Metaliks’ raw material purchase cost includes iron ore, coal & partly coke (~20% of coke is purchased from outside, 80% is internally produced [src - Q1FY23 concall])
Sandur’s raw material purchase would be just coking coal.


In recent TV interview, MD reaffirmed that expansion of DI plant is going as per plan and is expected to be commissioned in FY25/end of FY24.
