Anand Rathi Report

Weak demand and heightened inventory led to Graphite India Ltd.’s subdued realisations and lower sales volumes (last six quarters).

We expect it to benefit, however, from coming tailwinds.

  1. A pick-up in steel production globally (up 2.3% YoY in Q2 FY21)
  2. The recent rebound in graphite-electrode prices in China
  3. Expectations of complete destocking of electrode stocks in the next two quarters
  4. Benign raw material prices

Q2 FY21 capacity utilisation improved sequentially from 42% to 72%, which, we believe would continue.
