- Rishabh Digha Steel And Allied Products Limited engages in the manufacturing and processing of steel products in India. The company’s core offerings include hot rolled (HR) and cold rolled (CR) coil straightening and de-coiling services, along with cutting and shearing of steel sheets up to 16mm thickness. Its product range spans HR/CR steel coils, manganese steel coils and sheets, galvanized coils, and sheet metal strips. The company also provides warehousing services, steel bridge services, and operates cutting machines and equipment. Established in 1989, Rishabh Digha Steel started from a single shed in Navi Mumbai and later acquired a 5,340 square meter facility in the industrial area of Taloja near Mumbai, strategically positioned for efficient transportation and logistics near JNPT port. It is publicly listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
In recent years, the company has experienced significant operational distress with a near-complete cessation of manufacturing activities, reflected in consistently negligible revenues and a collapse in fixed manufacturing assets, down over 98% between FY23 and FY25. Profitability in recent quarters has largely stemmed from other income rather than ongoing manufacturing, with the core business reporting negative operating margins and no active manufacturing workforce. This downturn reflects challenges such as possible working capital shortages, loss of key customers, obsolete equipment, or regulatory hurdles. Despite these difficulties, promoters maintain a strong majority stake of approximately 74%, although there is no institutional participation. No recent major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic expansions have been reported, with the focus currently on managing the operational shutdown and exploring potential turnaround opportunities.
Rishabh Digha Steel operates primarily within India’s steel processing and allied services industry, targeting customers in infrastructure, automobile, construction, capital goods, and consumer durables sectors. The company’s strategic location near Mumbai supports its supply chain in servicing domestic steel demand. It is led by Managing Director Ashok Maganlal Mehta and headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The firm has historically paid dividends to shareholders, though operational performance deterioration poses ongoing risks to future profitability and business sustainability. The company remains a micro-cap entity with limited recent revenue activity reflective of its operational challenges.
