Tirupati continues on its journey to become a sustainable flake graphite producer

Specialist flake graphite company Tirupati Graphite has completed the first phase of its development into a global producer of flake graphite – a niche product used in energy storage lithium-ion batteries, chairperson Shishir Poddar says.

Reflecting on the company’s performance in the financial year ended March 31, he says the company successfully managed episodes of extreme difficulty, while remaining focused on its objectives and targets.

Tirupati, which owns and operates the Sahamamy and Vatomina graphite projects, in Madagascar, produced 4 770 t of graphite in the 2023 financial year – a 59% increase on the 2 996 t produced in the 2022 financial year.

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India. The Company is delivering on this strategy by being fully integrated from mine to graphene. Its global multi-location operations include primary mining and processing in Madagascar, hi-tech graphite processing in India to produce specialty graphite, and a state-of-art graphene and technology R&D center to be established in India.
