What Foseco does

Foseco India Limited (BSE: 500150, NSE: FOSECOIND) is a publicly listed, Pune-headquartered manufacturer and supplier of foundry consumables and metallurgical solutions, operating since 1958 as the Indian subsidiary of UK-based Foseco Overseas Limited (part of the Vesuvius Group). Its product portfolio spans insulating and exothermic feeding systems, molten metal filters for iron, steel and aluminium, direct pour technology, advanced coatings for cylinder liners and mould surfaces, non-ferrous degassing systems, ladle and furnace lining systems, energy-saving crucibles, and solidification simulation software, organized across three solution pillars: Foundry, Iron & Steel, and Industrial Processes.

The company's underlying technology combines proprietary consumable formulations with computer-based casting simulation and an in-mould quality monitoring concept (XMAT), enabling customers to reduce casting defects (pinholes, shrinkage cavity, inclusions, scabbing), minimize metal usage, and lower labour-intensive fettling operations. Following the November 2025 acquisition of a 75% stake in Morganite Crucible (India) Limited (renamed Foseco Crucible India Limited) for INR 6.5 billion, the portfolio now also includes crucible manufacturing for the metallurgical industry.

Foseco operates a direct enterprise field-sales B2B model, selling quote-based technical consumables and solutions to foundries serving the automotive, engineering, and capital goods sectors in India. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of high-technology consumables. FY2025 revenue was Rs 643.42 crore (+22.61% YoY) with PAT of Rs 72.29 crore; Q1 FY26 revenue was Rs 201.88 crore (+35.94% YoY) with PAT of Rs 33.81 crore (+56.02% YoY), reflecting strong operating momentum and margin expansion.
