As part of its strategic expansion and diversification initiatives, the Company has taken significant steps towards establishing its aluminium ingot manufacturing facility and expects to commence trial production in September 2026, followed by commercial production from October 1, 2026, subject to receipt of the requisite statutory approvals and completion of commissioning activities.
The Company has already undertaken the following key initiatives:
1. Manufacturing Facility: The Company has leased an industrial factory building of approximately 22,000 sq. ft. at Kuvada GIDC, Rajkot, with an existing electricity connection of approximately 37 KW.
2. Capital Investment in Machinery: Orders for various machinery and equipment aggregating approximately ₹150 lakh have been placed, with the Company having made the requisite payments.
3. Machinery Installation: The machinery is scheduled to be received in phases commencing from September 2, 2026, with installation and deployment targeted for completion by approximately September 20, 2026.
4. Workers’ Facilities: Construction of workers’ quarters and washroom facilities has commenced to provide accommodation and essential facilities for approximately 50 workers.
5. Manpower: The Company has engaged approximately 30 workers on a contractual basis for production-related activities, with further manpower deployment planned in line with production requirements.
6. Regulatory Approvals: The Company has already applied for Consent to Operate from the relevant Pollution Control authorities and expects to receive the same by approximately September 10, 2026, subject to regulatory processing and approval.
7. Production Schedule: The Company is targeting commencement of trial production from September 20, 2026, followed by commencement of commercial production from October 1, 2026, subject to successful commissioning, regulatory approvals and other applicable conditions.
Expected Production Capacity and Revenue Potential
Upon stabilisation of operations, the Company expects the facility to produce approximately 300 tonnes of Aluminium Ingots per month.
Based on the Company’s current internal estimates, the project is expected to generate approximately ₹9.45 crore of monthly revenue, based on an indicative average realisation/cost assumption of approximately ₹315 per kg.
The Company currently estimates potential net profit of approximately ₹50 lakh per month once the operations reach the targeted level and stabilise. These estimates are based on current management assumptions and may vary depending on aluminium prices, raw-material costs, product realisations, production levels, operating expenses, market conditions and other factors.
Expansion Plans
The Company intends to further scale up the aluminium ingot manufacturing business and is evaluating a two-fold expansion of the proposed capacity by March 2027, subject to business performance, market conditions, availability of resources, regulatory approvals and the necessary investment requirements.
The proposed expansion is expected to strengthen the Company’s manufacturing capabilities and create a larger platform for its participation in the aluminium and non-ferrous metals value chain.
