JTL Industries Ltd.

Excellent show for FY 2024: Sales at highest ever level

JTL Industries Limited is a fast-growing dynamic steel tube manufacturing company that specializes in producing black steel pipes, pre-galvanized and galvanized steel pipes, large-diameter steel tubes and pipes, and hollow structures. The company in its Board Meeting held on 10th May 2024 announced financial result for Q4 and FY24.

JTL industries delivered a strong performance in FY24, marked by a remarkable 31.6% revenue growth reaching Rs. 20,402.3 Mn in FY24 compared to Rs. 15,499.2 Mn in FY23. This substantial growth was driven by high demand for the company’s products and the effective execution of strategic expansion initiatives throughout the year

“On the profitability front,” says Mr. Singla, “we remain committed on gradually increasing the same, since EBITDA for this fiscal year reported at Rs. 1,521.9 Mn with an EBITDA margin of healthy 7.5%. This performance was supported by several key factor, which includes the increase in the share of Value-Added Products (VAP), overall increase in scale of operations, and continuous focus on enhancing efficiency across our plants.”

Mr. Singla adds, we’re delighted to declare a dividend of Rs. 0.25 per share on the nominal value of Rs. 2/-, i.e. @ 12.50% for FY24, showcasing our steadfast dedication to enhancing shareholder value. We have recently acquired a 67% controlling interest in Nabha Steels and Metals, in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. With a capacity of 200,000 mtpa, this acquisition bolsters our backward integration capabilities.

This strategic move enables JTL to venture into new product segments, broadening our market reach. Additionally, it will enhance coil production at the Raipur plant from 150,000 to 250,000 mtpa and increase long product output by 100,000 mtpa across Chhattisgarh and Punjab. “Furthermore,” according to Mr. Singla, “JTL intends to increase production capacity in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh through expansion initiatives. The initial phase aims to raise the overall capacity from 600,000 to 1,000,000 mtpa by introducing Direct Forming Technology (DFT) lines alongside traditional forming technology. This expansion will focus on manufacturing galvanized steel tubes and pipes. This strategic initiative is set to improve plant capacity utilization, streamline manufacturing processes, and broaden the range of value-added products (VAPs), facilitating entry into new geographical markets. Following this, a significant expansion is planned for the Maharashtra plant to increase our manufacturing capacity to 2,000,000 mtpa. This expansion will enable JTL to effectively meet market demand and diversify its product portfolio

In conclusion, we are pleased to report strong financial results for FY24, highlighting our strategic direction in navigating challenging market conditions. The robust revenue growth led by strong volume growth and consequent increase in profitability reflects the effectiveness of our business strategies and the dedication of our team. As we look ahead, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth, delivering value to our stakeholders, and contributing to the economic development of the regions we serve.
