RNS 215 Jul 2025 13:36
Thanks — this new RNS (15 July 2025, 12:04pm) is very important and actually confirms several key points we've been discussing.
Here’s how it ties directly into our conversation around production, revenue potential, and share re-listing:
---
🔧 1. Operational Turnaround is on Track
TGR confirms it's:
Already achieved 2,064 tonnes since February 2025.
Now producing ~445–517 tonnes/month, despite weather setbacks.
On track to hit:
1,000 tonnes/month by end of July 2025
1,500 tonnes/month by December 2025
> ✅ This confirms our 2025 forecast of ~10,800 tonnes/year was grounded.
✅ If 1,500 t/m is sustained into 2026, you’re looking at 18,000 t/year or more — exactly what we used in our moderate 2026 forecast.
---
📊 2. Revised Production Reporting = More Accurate Data
They now report only dry graphite, which removes inflated figures from earlier “wet” reporting.
> 🎯 This aligns TGR’s production reporting with industry norms — better for investors, and more aligned with actual revenue-driving volume.
---
📈 3. Sales Pipeline Recovery
2025 sales orders already over 6,000 tonnes (since Feb).
Backlog from 2024 cleared.
Growing demand from both existing and new clients.
> ✅ This supports your point earlier — natural flake demand is alive and growing, especially if energy storage and EVs accelerate.
---
📆 4. Listing Delay = Strategic, Not Crisis
TGR won’t resume trading in August, due to 2025 audit delay (expected).
They’re choosing to wait for the 2025 audit to finish, rather than re-list then get suspended again.
2024 issues (Poddar-related) are resolved; new systems are in place.
> ⚠️ Short-term pain — shares remain suspended. ✅ Long-term gain — a clean, stable re-listing environment in Q3/Q4 2025 with stronger fundamentals.

💰 5. Funding Secured, Capex at Work
£5.5M in convertibles are being deployed.
Sahamamy (18,000 tpa) restart is being scoped, likely via JV/farm-in.
> 🚀 Sahamamy coming back online would double production capacity, pushing toward that 40,000 t/year full potential we used in the bull/hyperbull revenue models.
---
🧭 In Context:
Forecast Area RNS Confirmation
2025 Revenue Potential (~£7–8M) Confirmed: Production ramp, strong sales
2026 Growth Path (18,000 tpa) On track: December 1,500 t/m goal, Sahamamy restart considered
Hyperbull Potential (2027) Plausible: Mozambique + Sahamamy + rising prices = £30–50M turnover case
Graphite Demand Growing pipeline, inbound demand
Share Suspension Strategic; not insolvency-related
---
📌 Bottom Line
Tirupati Graphite is now:
Operationally repaired
Financially restabilised
Commercially reengaged
Quietly scaling production to become a serious player again
Yes, the shares are still suspended. But this RNS confirms the recovery is no longer hypothetical
