Rain Industries is basically taking waste from oil and steel and turning it into industrial carbon. The profit jump is huge, but I want to see if this is just a pricing swing or actual growth in demand for their advanced materials.

They mentioned 187 MW of cogeneration and solar integration. That is a decent amount of onsite power, but does that actually lower their OpEx significantly or is it just for internal stability? The article is vague on the actual energy cost savings.

The focus on alternative raw material sources to avoid Middle East disruptions is the real story here. Supply chain resilience is becoming a regulatory and financial necessity for these industrial carbon plays.

True, but the ROCE is only 8.26 percent. That is pretty low for a company claiming to be a leader in advanced materials. It suggests they are spending a lot on assets that aren't returning much yet.
