Vraj Iron Stock Rises 8% on Plant Expansion News

Shares of Vraj Iron and Steel Limited, a microcap company involved in the production of Sponge Iron, TMT bars, and M.S. Billets under the brand Vraj, surged by 8% in intraday trade following an important development. The company received approval from the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board for the operation of its expanded plant, propelling the stock to a high of Rs. 246.55 per share during the trading session. After a slight pullback, the stock was trading at Rs. 241.55, marking a 5.92% increase from its previous closing price of Rs. 228.05 per share.

With a market capitalization of Rs. 796.70 Crores, Vraj Iron and Steel’s significant stock jump follows the environmental consent for its expansion project, which involves scaling up its Sponge Iron and power plant situated in Dighora village, Tehsil-Takhatpur, Bilaspur district, Chhattisgarh. The company’s approval comes at a critical time as it looks to ramp up its production capacity from 231,600 tonnes per annum (TPA) to 500,100 TPA. Additionally, Vraj plans to enhance energy efficiency with an expanded captive power plant. Founded in 2004, Vraj Iron and Steel has positioned itself as a key player in the Indian steel manufacturing sector, specialising in producing quality Sponge Iron, TMT bars, and MS billets. The company operates two advanced manufacturing facilities in Chhattisgarh and has a B2B sales model that targets industrial clients and end-users. The company aims to foster long-term customer relationships and operational excellence to meet the rising demand for steel in the domestic market.

However, the company’s financial performance has shown some volatility. Its revenue from operations decreased by 23.64% year-on-year, falling from Rs. 116.22 Crore in Q2FY24 to Rs. 88.74 Crore in Q2FY25. Profits also took a hit, with net profit dropping from Rs. 19.69 Crore to Rs. 10.29 Crore during the same period. Despite this, Vraj Iron and Steel boasts strong return ratios, with a Return on Equity (ROE) of 33.65% and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 36.60%, demonstrating solid operational efficiency. Its net profit margin stands at 13.67% as of FY24. In terms of shareholding, as of September 2024, the promoters hold a majority stake of 74.95%, followed by Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) at 0.94%, Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) at 4.49%, and public shareholders holding 19.61% of the company.
