Management Commentary

Commenting on the Q2FY25 performance of the company Mr. James McIntosh, Managing Director for
IFGL Refractories Limited Said,

“During Q2FY25, we achieved a consolidated Total Income of ₹415 crores. Despite the challenges faced in our
overseas markets due to slowdowns that impacted exports and international business, our domestic operations
demonstrated resilience with a 15% growth. This growth is particularly commendable considering the shutdowns at
some of our major client locations. The global logistics crisis and overall market slowdowns continued to weigh on
our export performance.

In terms of strategic expansion, we are pleased to announce a significant milestone for IFGL with the signing of an
agreement with Marvels International Group Co. of Seychelles and Marvel Refractories Anshan Co. of China.
Together, we will establish a joint venture in India to bolster our brick production capabilities. This partnership is a
key step in our entry into the Cement, Glass, Non-Ferrous, and Gasification Industries, reinforcing our commitment
to diversifying and strengthening our portfolio.

Additionally, our subsidiary, EI Ceramics, has acquired a building in Ohio, USA, which will be converted into a state-
of-the-art ISO Plan facility. This transformation will allow us to produce the highest quality and most consistent
Isostatic Products for the steel industry, further reinforcing our manufacturing excellence.

We are also progressing with our land acquisition in Odisha, with a payment of ₹12 crores made to the Odisha
James McIntosh Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation. We look forward to receiving the land and commencing the
Managing Director project in due course.

Despite facing external challenges, we remain focused on driving long-term growth through strategic investments,
partnerships, and innovations that will continue to support our core industries and expand our reach."

chrome bricks.

❖ The cost of the project is estimated at Rs 300 crore. The agreement states that the trial

A Responsible Corporate..
Sustainability
As a responsible corporate entity, IFGL constantly strives to drive sustainability through a holistic approach. From understanding the true essence of
sustainable actions, to establishing the tiers of responsibility and integrating justifiable elements at every stage, sustainability is a multifaceted process for
us. Responsible Care is the mantra that keeps IFGL going.
What Does Sustainability Mean For Us?
Holistic development is the cornerstone of each and every sustainability policy implemented at IFGL. We believe that, it is only through adoption of a just,
equitable and inclusive organisational culture, that we can do our bit to keep our ecosystem healthy and vibrant. We understand sustainability as an
amalgamation of four key considerations, which are:

The Importance Of Giving Back To The Planet

Replenishing the resources of Mother Earth is a key point of concern for everyone at IFGL. Through efficient product
management, agile & conscious manufacturing standards, and diligent waste management modules, we build cleaner, greener
chemistries – for a world where everyone can breathe easy.

A Focus On Socio-Economic Betterment

From starting medical clinics and arranging for free beds at hospitals, to providing school aids, setting up public toilets & more
– IFGL constantly endeavours to work towards the greater good of the world. We also conduct a series of CSR activities, in our
bid to create better opportunities for people, and foster mutually rewarding collaborations.

Caring For The Environment

At IFGL, we acknowledge and appreciate the fact that each of our activities touch the environment in some way or the other.
That is precisely why we strive to ensure that ecological sustainability is maintained at all times, through responsible
environmental transactions and payloads. Every little step matters – this is the belief that drives IFGL.

Sustainability

Ensuring The Welfare Of All Stakeholders

Through the implementation of the latest safety protocols, production parameters and efficient processes, IFGL ensures that
the health & well-being of our employees or our esteemed customers are never put at any risk. The robust safety culture,
together with seamless communications and talent recognition drives, establishes an ecosystem of all-inclusive growth.

Leveraging the Potential Of Renewable Energy Resource

The potential of renewable energy for transforming operations and ensuring sustainability is immense. At IFGL, we understand
this – and that’s precisely why we have set up solar panels and a photovoltaic (PV) system at our production units in the UK,
Germany and Vizag. As an ecologically responsible organisation, we plan to become more self-reliant and energy-efficient in
future.

➢ Global outlook:
▪ As per WSA, this year global steel demand will drop further by 0.9% to 1,751 Mt. After three years of decline, WSA expects to see a broad-based
recovery in the world excluding China in 2025. Global steel demand is forecast to finally rebound by 1.2% in 2025 to reach 1,772 Mt.
▪ Steel demand in the developing world excluding China is projected to grow by 3.5% in 2024 and 4.2% in 2025, driven by India’s robust growth and a
rebound in other major emerging economies
▪ India has emerged as the strongest driver of steel demand growth since 2021, and this trend is set to continue. WSA is maintaining robust growth
projections for India, anticipating an 8.0% increase in steel demand over 2024 and 2025. This expansion is fuelled by growth across all steel-
consuming sectors, especially by continued strong growth in infrastructure investments.
