Containerway International Ltd, with a market capitalization of Rs. 25.74 crore, opened at Rs. 22.24 against a previous close of Rs. 21.19. The stock opened at its intraday high of Rs. 22.24 and immediately locked into the 5% upper circuit, reflecting positive market sentiment.
The company's new venture, under the brand 'Indus Cables,' is expected to commence operations in October 2025. Management has confirmed that tie-ups and contractual arrangements for the venture are underway. This strategic move is aimed at capitalizing on the anticipated surge in real estate development over the next five years. The company projects substantial growth in turnover, driven by the strong demand for household cables in the real estate sector.
By diversifying into the cables manufacturing business, Containerway International Ltd is positioning itself to tap into the fast-growing household and real estate-linked demand for cables. This move is expected to broaden the company's revenue streams and strengthen its long-term growth prospects.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q1FY26), the company reported a sequential decline in sales from Rs. 7.81 crore to Rs. 7.14 crore, a fall of 8.6%. Operating loss widened from Rs. 0.30 crore to Rs. 3.01 crore, while the negative profit before tax increased from a loss of Rs. 0.27 crore to a loss of Rs. 3 crore. Net loss also expanded from Rs. 0.36 crore to Rs. 2.05 crore.
On a yearly basis, sales improved from nil in Q1FY25 to Rs. 7.14 crore in Q1FY26, although the company had reported other income of Rs. 1.07 crore in the base period. Operating loss widened from Rs. 0.05 crore to Rs. 3.01 crore, and profit before tax fell from a gain of Rs. 1.02 crore to a loss of Rs. 3 crore. Net profit turned into a loss of Rs. 2.05 crore compared to a profit of Rs. 0.89 crore last year. Despite these financial challenges, the stock has delivered a strong return of 87% over the past year.
Containerway International Ltd, now rebranded as Indus Aluminium Recyclers Limited, was previously engaged in transport and logistics services, handling freight booking, customs clearance, documentation, and haulage. The company has recently realigned its focus towards aluminum recycling, in line with growing global demand for sustainable materials and ESG compliance requirements.
This transition marks a strategic shift from pure logistics operations to a recycling-led business model, with added diversification into household cables manufacturing under the Indus Cables brand. The company's move into cables manufacturing is seen as a strategic step to capitalize on the growing demand in the real estate sector and to diversify its revenue sources.
