About the Capex
Gallantt Ispat Ltd has received considerable attention following the management’s announcement of its future capital expenditures that the firm intends to undertake to grow and make itself more efficient.

This amount will be spent on increasing production capacity for steel, mining of iron ores and renewable energy projects.
One of the key components of the proposed investment plan is Rs. 1,500 crore, which will be used for setting up an iron ore mine in Sonbhadra of Uttar Pradesh state and an iron ore mine in Todpura, Rajasthan. By having its own source of raw materials, the firm plans to decrease its dependence on external sources. This should help in improving the EBITDA margins by Rs. 2,000 per tonne.
Besides, Rs. 1,200 crores have been set aside to increase production of steel. The reason behind this plan is that there is going to be demand in future because of development and construction works. In addition to this, Rs. 300 crores are being set aside for the solar power plant of 78 MW.
According to management, the capex project has started. The capex spend for Q1 of FY27 stood at Rs. 137 crores and the total capex spend under the capex project reached Rs. 775 crores by June 30, 2026.
