Gravita India forms Mozambique scrap sourcing unit
Gravita India incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Green Maputo Recyclers, in Mozambique with an initial USD 200,000 investment. This expands its African footprint to secure localized scrap for lead, aluminium, and rubber recycling.
The entity is 99% held by its Dutch subsidiary, ensuring tight group control while minimizing upfront capital risk. This follows a strong Q1 FY27 where revenue surged 41.8% to ₹1,475.10 crore. This matters because it directly addresses the supply chain bottlenecks that compressed margins last quarter, while diversifying feedstock beyond lead. I am watching the Q3 FY27 earnings for the first scrap volume metrics from this new node and the sequential gross margin recovery as African sourcing scales.
The market views this USD 200,000 incorporation as a negligible administrative step. What the consensus misses is the structural supply chain moat this creates. Step one: establishing a direct presence in Mozambique bypasses intermediaries and secures cheaper feedstock. Step two: it diversifies raw material risk across aluminium and rubber, buffering against regional lead supply disruptions. Step three: this capital-light model mechanically protects gross margins from global freight volatility. The market treats this as a minor geographic addition, ignoring it is a critical node in a high-ROCE network.
Accumulate for long-term supply chain margin defense.
