The sector is successfully navigating a turnaround in electrode demand driven by mandatory_industry_norms (EAF shift) while simultaneously deploying over ₹12,000 Cr in capex for the EV battery market. Although commodity risk from needle coke persists, the high treasury balances and HEG's demerger provide a strong margin of safety and value-unlock potential.
HEG reported revenue growth of 37.5% despite flat global EAF production, which management attributes to a gain in market share.
Global decarbonization is forcing a shift from blast furnaces to Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), which HEG expects will drive incremental demand of 200,000 tons of electrodes by 2030.
HEG is benefiting from its 100,000-ton single-location plant which management claims provides the lowest cost structure in the industry as 'cost per ton keeps coming down'.
Utilization remains high but GRAPHITE saw a sequential drop from 99%, indicating a potential cooling in immediate electrode demand.
The sector is pivoting toward the EV battery ecosystem, with investments focused on Synthetic Graphite Anode Materials.
High liquidity levels support the massive capex plans without immediate reliance on external debt for GRAPHITE.
Growth is driven by higher realizations and volume gains despite a 4.4% contraction in Chinese steel production.
HEG's single-location 100,000-ton plant provides a cost advantage over GRAPHITE's current structure.
