Together, Tega and Molycop reported $1.73 billion (₹15,207 crore) in revenue and ₹217 million (₹1,906 crore) in Ebitda in 2024-25 (FY25). Ebitda stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.
Once completed, Tega will become the controlling shareholder, with Apollo Funds holding a significant minority equity interest. The consortium will prioritise integration in the first two years and leverage complementary product portfolios to deliver comprehensive mill optimisation solutions.
The combined entity will operate 26 global manufacturing sites, including Molycop’s 13 facilities and three joint ventures. Tega’s strong presence in Europe, West Asia, Africa, and Latin America will be complemented by Molycop’s foothold in the US, Canada, and Australia.
Centrum Broking on Tega Industries acquisition
Centrum Broking said that the deal values Molycop at a FY25 enterprise value to Ebitda multiple of 8.6 times. The brokerage noted that Molycop's grinding media business complements Tega's mill liners portfolio and would significantly scale up Tega's presence, with FY25 revenue of ₹16.4 billion for Tega compared to ₹135.2 billion for Molycop. The brokerage retains its positive outlook on the company.
The EV/Ebitda multiple assigned to Molycop appears fair and could drive significant value unlocking for Tega through scale and cross-selling opportunities, Centrum said.
