Operational Recovery and Margin Expansion

MSP Steel & Power demonstrated strong operational recovery during the second quarter of FY27, with revenue from operations reaching ₹807 crore. While revenue dipped slightly by 2.3% from the ₹826 crore recorded in Q1 FY27, the company achieved a robust 19.2% growth compared to the ₹677 crore reported in the same period of the previous fiscal. A key driver for the quarter was the improvement in operating margins, which climbed to 5.7% from 3.6% sequentially.

This expansion occurred despite the inherent volatility in the metals and mining sector, allowing the firm to consolidate its profitability after a heavy ₹100 crore loss before tax in Q2 FY26.

Strategic Capex and Tax Asset Utilization

In alignment with previous management guidance from May 2026, MSPL is pursuing a ₹500 crore capital expenditure program at its Raigarh facility to expand integrated steel capacity by over 6.2 lakh MT. Financial results also reflect the ongoing impact of a ₹47.37 crore Deferred Tax Asset recognized in the previous fiscal year, based on an independent tax opinion regarding interest liabilities.

These strategic moves aim to strengthen the balance sheet as the company navigates a TTM revenue of ₹2,958.62 crore.
