Fiscal 2015-16 was the most challenging in recent history for the global graphite electrodes industry. The steel industry faced excessive capacity surplus, reduced steel demand coupled with an onslaught by Chinese steel exports. The EAF based steel industry struggled to compete with BOF steel due to a drop in iron ore and coal prices vis-à-vis scrap prices. Making BOF steel more cost-competitive compared to EAF steel. The above resulted in reduced graphite electrode demand globally with all major global graphite electrode leaders reporting sizable losses. HEG reported a relatively marginal loss emphasising its position as a competitive graphite electrode manufacturers in the world.

For the graphite electrode industry, 2015- 16 was the most challenging in history. However, the financial year under review was the most enriching for us. When the customer turned hesitant, we learnt what it means to find new ones. When sectors turned sluggish, we created new products to address others. When prices nosedived, we pruned costs to maintain viability. The result is that, in a year when most global graphite electrode manufacturers encountered substantial losses leading to closure, we remained steadfast despite reporting marginal losses.
