- Andritz commissioned a second acid-regeneration plant for JSW Steel in Vasind, India.

- Third-quarter revenue and comparable EBITA increased year on year, while management maintained its 2026 outlook.
Andritz has commissioned a second acid-regeneration plant for JSW Steel Coated Products Limited at its Vasind site in Maharashtra, India. The operational update was reported by Börse Global on Monday, November 9, adding a project-specific development to the investment case after Andritz's third-quarter report.
The new facility can process 6,400 liters of spent pickling acid per hour. According to the report, the second plant works together with the existing installation to cover the acid-regeneration requirements at the Vasind location. The development gives investors a concrete example of Andritz's environmental and process-technology business in operation, although the report does not disclose an order value or expected earnings contribution.
Operational update follows strong quarter
Andritz's third-quarter revenue rose 9.2% year on year to EUR 2,059.6 million, while comparable EBITA increased 10.3% to EUR 184.9 million. Net income reached EUR 127.3 million, up 14.4% from the prior-year quarter. Order intake fell 0.6% to EUR 2,166.2 million, but remained above quarterly revenue.
Management kept its 2026 targets unchanged. Andritz expects revenue between EUR 8.0 billion and EUR 8.3 billion and a comparable EBITA margin between 8.7% and 9.1%. The company also reported a record order backlog of EUR 12,729.1 million at September 30, supporting visibility for future project execution. The India installation is therefore relevant mainly as an operating milestone rather than as a separately quantified earnings catalyst.
