Chennai Ferrous Industries Limited (CHENFERRO.BO) is an India-based company primarily engaged in the trading of coal and iron-related products; it also manufactures sponge iron and rents out its sponge iron plant facilities. The company offers coal trading services across various grades and specifications for industrial applications; sponge iron production using iron ore as raw material; and plant rental operations to support steel manufacturing processes. Incorporated on May 7, 2010, as a public limited company under the Companies Act, 1956, Chennai Ferrous Industries Limited maintains its headquarters in Periya Obulapuram Village, Survey No. 180-183, 190 & 191, Gummidipoondi, Tamil Nadu 601201, India, with operations focused on the domestic Indian market within the metals and mining trading sector.
Originally established with the main objective of manufacturing sponge iron products, the company strategically shifted its focus to coal trading amid sluggish market demand for sponge iron, volatile raw material prices, and regional supply imbalances. It emerged as one of the resulting entities from the demerger of Kanishk Steel Industries Limited, through which it vested with all assets and liabilities of the demerged entity's Sponge Iron Division on a going concern basis, completing the business realignment.
In recent developments, Chennai Ferrous Industries Limited held its 15th Annual General Meeting on September 25, 2025, approving the FY2024-25 annual report, appointing auditors and an independent director, adopting the Memorandum of Association, and conducting e-voting from September 22-24, 2025; it also published unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, on August 14, 2025, reflecting ongoing operational stability with low debt levels and sales growth. The company reported a market capitalization of approximately INR 48 crore as of recent trading, with a stock price around INR 134, trading at a discount to book value, and employs about five staff members focused on trading activities. No significant partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or major expansions were announced in the last 1-2 years.
