Small-cap stock with just ₹1,240 crore market cap bags ₹1,764 crore order from Tata Steel. Details here
Multibagger small-cap stock: Shares of BMW Industries, a leading manufacturer in the downstream steel sector, jumped 20% in Monday's trading session, to hit the day's high of ₹ 55.28 apiece. This sharp rise in the stock came after the company announced that it had secured a significant order from Tata Steel.
The company informed investors through an exchange filing during today's mid-session that it had received a work order from Tata Steel Limited for the processing and conversion of coils, worth ₹ 1,764 crore.
'The company has received a work order from Tata Steel Limited for 'Processing and Conversion of Coils' at our Jamshedpur works for a period up to 31.03.2029, amounting to Rs1,764 crore (Rupees One Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Four Crore approximately),' the company said in the filing.
This order is larger than the company's market capitalization of ₹ 1,244 crore as of today. In mid-March, the company had announced an ₹ 800 crore capital expenditure for setting up a greenfield downstream steel complex in Bokaro, Jharkhand, which will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.
According to the company, the proposed project involves the development of a downstream steel complex with an annual production capacity of 300,000 TPA of cold rolled full hard coils/sheets, 540,000 TPA of galvanized coils/sheets, and 200,000 TPA of color-coated coils/sheets. The project will be located in Bokaro, Jharkhand.
The company already possesses the required land, which is designated for industrial use and will serve as the site for this greenfield project. Meanwhile, in March, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Steel under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme 1.1 for specialty steel.
The company's shares have rebounded this month, gaining 18% so far, after remaining sideways for nine consecutive months (between August 2024 and March 2025), during which they lost 35.65% of their value.
Prior to the decline, the stock had rallied between June 2023 and August 2024, delivering a stellar gain of 186%. Despite the recent correction, the stock remains up by 332% over the past five years.

Government to 'facilitate' auto companies procure Chinese magnet
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. NEW DELHI: The government has stepped in to support the auto and component industry's efforts to procure rare earth magnets from Chin,a with companies submitting End User Certificate (EUC) to Beijing, certifying no diversion of the shipment towards defence or weapons production. The commerce department and the ministry of external affairs have been engaged in the process of seeking time for an interface of the Indian industry with representatives of the Chinese government. "We are mindful of the concerns of the industry, especially as manufacturing schedules are likely to be disrupted if the supplies do not resume in some time," one of the sources said. A senior government official said that commerce secretary Sunil Barthwal recently held consultations with auto sector representatives and over the next few weeks, a delegation of executives from industry bodies is expected to go to China, with the Indian embassy in Beijing facilitating the exercise. The government, however, wants to play the role of a "facilitator" in the process, clearly demarcating it from being seen as a G2G (government-to-government) negotiation. "The idea is to involve the respective stakeholders and ministries for a concerted effort to expedite the approval process. The industry has already submitted the requisite documents related to the matter." Local industry has argued it is working on developing capabilities, but it is seen to be a massive challenge. "Developing indigenous supplies and capabilities is crucial, but it's a complex process requiring large-scale investments. Also, mitigating challenges of radioactive materials during the extraction process is also a critical factor," said Alok Perti, former coal secretary and now a senior board advisor with B2B mining and metal industry body MMPI. "Providing viability gap funding like PLI schemes by the government, encouragement to undertake research with countries like Russia, Australia, is also relevant." Source said that auto industry bodies, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), that represents product companies as well as the Automotive Components Manufacturers Association (ACMA), have been carrying out direct interface with government on the matter, even while companies have submitted their petitions through the route mandated by the Chinese government. The applications have reached China, and companies are eagerly awaiting movement, officials of at least four large companies told TOI. The industry is hopeful of a "positive result" following the meetings that Chinese vice foreign minister Sun Weidong, who is on a two-day visit to India, has had with his Indian counterparts.

As Centre mulls easing norms for local telecom gear makers, GX Group flags import surge risk
New Delhi: Relaxation in value-addition norms for domestically-manufactured telecom equipment without proper guardrails may enhance risk of imports from non-trusted sources, a top official of GX Group has said. The Department of Telecom (DoT) has started a review of local value-addition norms in telecom equipment following reports that manufacturers are facing a challenge in achieving 50-60% local content in electronic and telecom products due to limited component ecosystem in the country. The move comes at a time when the government has rolled out a Rs 23,000-crore electronics component manufacturing scheme to enhance local value addition in domestically manufactured electronic products. "The consideration of a review to local content norms is a welcome move, however, relaxations need to come with caution on specific components. "Reducing value addition without utmost caution can enhance risk of increase in imports from non-trusted nations," GX Group CEO Paritosh Prajapati told PTI. GX Group is a beneficiary under the telecom sector's production linked incentive (PLI) scheme. The company has its manufacturing facility in Manesar and a research and development centre in Chennai. "The security-sensitive telecom equipment segment is already being infested from imported products, which is mitigating growth of indigenous production under telecom PLI scheme ," Prajapati said. The DoT on June 3 invited comments on the review of the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India ) from industry bodies -VoICE, TEMA, ICEA, COAI and MAIT, original equipment makers --Tejas, VVDN, HFCL, Nokia, Ericsson and CISCO. It has also invited comments from electronics manufacturing services companies Dixon, Syrma, Neolync and Jabil as well as public sector firms like BSNL and TCIL. The DoT has given 30 days for stakeholders to submit their comments. Prajapati said that GX Group and other industry stakeholders have been completely focused on indigenisation mandates and have built a robust local manufacturing ecosystem along with local R&D and IP rights in the past few years. He said that given the Indian component space is still growing somewhat, relaxations of the norms may bring in some relief to the industry for specific components only to ensure that Indian players become more competitive. "Foreign companies coming in to cater to the diverse Indian market should also invest in R&D within the country and make efforts to maximise local production of required components and sub-components," Prajapati said. He said that there are instances wherein global players expand into the market but rely on assembling of products rather than creating products and adding value, in a way not investing in the local economy but only ready to cater to the market demand and enhance revenues. "Relaxation in value addition norms should be accompanied with conditions like technology transfer, timeline for capacity development in India, phase-wise manufacturing programme, etc," Prajapati said.

Shortage of rare earth magnets can decelerate India's automotive ride, Crisil says
New Delhi [India], June 15 (ANI): Rare earth magnets, low in cost but critical in function, could emerge as a key supply-side risk for India's automotive sector if China's export restrictions and delays in shipment clearances persist, according to a report by Crisil Ratings. The rating agency said this week that a disruption lasting more than a month can already impact electric vehicle (EV) launches, affect production, and weigh on the sector's growth momentum. Rare earth magnets are integral to permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) used in EVs for their high torque, energy efficiency and compact size. Hybrids also depend on them for efficient propulsion. The use of rare earth magnets in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is largely limited to electric power steering and other motorised systems. In April 2025, China - the world's dominant exporter of rare earth magnets - imposed export restrictions on seven rare earth elements and finished magnets, mandating export licences. The revised framework demands detailed end-use disclosures and client declarations, including confirmation that the products will not be used in defence or re-exported to the US. 'With the clearance process taking at least 45 days, this added scrutiny has significantly delayed approvals. And the growing backlog has further slowed clearances, tightening global supply chains,' Crisil said. India, which sourced over 80 per cent of its 540 tonne magnet imports from China last fiscal, has started to feel the impact, Crisil asserted. 'By end-May 2025, nearly 30 import requests from Indian companies were endorsed by the Indian government, but none have yet been approved by the Chinese authorities, and no shipments have arrived,' Crisil claimed. Anuj Sethi, Senior Director, Crisil Ratings, 'The supply squeeze comes just as the auto sector is preparing for aggressive EV rollouts. Over a dozen new electric models are planned for launch, most built on PMSM platforms. While most automakers currently have 4-6 weeks of inventory, prolonged delays could start affecting vehicle production, with EV models facing deferrals or rescheduling from July 2025. A broader impact on two-wheelers (2W) and ICE PVs may follow if the supply bottlenecks persist for an extended period.' In fiscal 2025-26, domestic passenger volumes are expected to grow 2-4 per cent, while electric passenger vehicles could rise 35-40 per cent, albeit on a low base. Electric 2Ws could grow 27 per cent, outpacing overall 2W growth of 8-10 per cent. However, Crisil notes that sustained supply tightness could soften this momentum, especially in the EV segment. Recognising the rare earth supply risk, the government and automakers are taking action on two fronts. In the short term, the focus is on building strategic inventories, tapping alternative suppliers and accelerating domestic assembly under Production Linked Incentive schemes. For the long term, reducing import dependency will hinge on fast-tracking rare earth exploration, building local production capacity and investing in recycling infrastructure. Meanwhile, India on Thursday said it is in touch with the Chinese side, seeking predictability in the supply of rare earth metals -- which had been put under the export controls regime by the Xi administration. 'We are in touch with the Chinese side, both here in Delhi as also in Beijing to bring predictability in supply chain for trade, consistent with international practices,' Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters in the weekly briefing. The MEA spokesperson was asked about India's engagement with China on rare earth, given that it is to an extent impacting the auto industry, among others in India. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal described China's rare earth export restrictions as a global 'wake-up call' recently, emphasising that India is actively building alternative supply chains while positioning itself as a trusted partner for international businesses seeking to reduce their dependence on Chinese suppliers. Speaking to reporters during his official visit to Switzerland, where he met with Swiss government officials and business leaders, Goyal acknowledged that China's export curbs will create short-term challenges for India's automotive and white goods sectors. China's overwhelming control of global rare earth processing - commanding over 90 per cent of the world's magnet production capacity - has created significant vulnerabilities for industries worldwide. These materials are critical across multiple sectors, including automobiles, home appliances, and clean energy systems. Beyond China, there are only a few alternative suppliers. The new Chinese restrictions, effective from April 4, require special export licenses for certain specific rare earth elements and their related magnetic products. Separately, India and Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and, Uzbekistan) have recently expressed interest in joint exploration of rare earth and critical minerals at the recently held India-Central Asia Dialogue here in the national capital.
