    Godawari Power is a fully backward-integrated steel company with strong presence across the value chain—from operating captive iron-ore mines to manufacturing and selling value-added steel products. The company is one of the largest pellet manufacturers in India and India’s only manufacturer of high-grade pellets. In addition to pellets, the company manufactures sponge iron, long steel products, ferroalloys and green energy.

    In Q3 of FY23, the company’s consolidated revenue fell 9 percent YoY to Rs 1,463 crore with EBITDA declining 65 percent to Rs 173.10 crore majorly because of lower realisations. Profit after tax also dropped around 68 percent for the December quarter to Rs 127.98 crore mainly on account of a fall in realisation.
