Sponge Iron to Be Fully Used Captively 

Godawari Power & Ispat said the higher steel billet manufacturing capacity will allow it to use 100% of the sponge iron it produces captively. 

Captive consumption means using materials produced by a company in its own manufacturing operations. In this case, the sponge iron produced by Godawari Power & Ispat will be used in its steelmaking process. 

The company said this would lead to value addition and improve operating margins. It did not provide figures for the expected margin improvement or quantify the financial benefit from the change. 

Impact of the Capacity Expansion 

The increase in SMS capacity allows the company to use its sponge iron production in steel billet manufacturing. The expanded facility has already started operating, following receipt of the consent. 

Godawari Power & Ispat stated that the higher capacity would be value-accretive. However, its disclosure did not include details of the expected increase in revenue, production volumes, or operating profit. 

The immediate operational change is an increase of 50,000 metric tonnes in annual steel melting capacity, taking the total to 5,75,000 metric tonnes.
