APL Apollo Tubes reported robust sales volume growth of 41%/42% y-o-y/q-o-q to 602 kt (highest ever quarterly volume); while VAP mix declined to 54% (versus 61% in Q1FY23) but would improve with ramp-up of Raipur plant. H1 volume of 1 mt and potential ramp-up at Raipur plant to help achieve 37% y-o-y volume growth guidance for FY23. Raipur plant (innovative first-time products in India) would help APL beat industry growth rate and expand market share (from 55% in FY22). Management has guided for 32% volume CAGR over FY22-25E with high margin on new products and thus target to more than double EBITDA to Rs. 2,000 crore by FY25 (versus Rs. 945 crore in FY22). Primary structural steel tube market expected double to 6 mtpa by FY25 as volume would shift towards primary market from secondary. Moreover, steel tubular technology is gaining acceptance in construction projects. APL has capacity (to reach 4mtpa soon) and product portfolio to tap growth opportunities in structural steel tube market.
