1. Company overview & snapshot

1.1 Legal identity & corporate structure

IFGL Refractories Limited is a listed specialist-refractories company, CIN L51909OR2007PLC027954, registered at Sector B, Kalunga Industrial Estate, P.O. Kalunga, District Sundergarh, Odisha 770031. It manufactures and supplies specialised refractories and systems for iron and steel producers. The parent/group footprint includes Indian manufacturing at Kalunga, Kandla SEZ and Atchutapuram/Visakhapatnam, plus operating subsidiaries abroad. The campaign scope is one India consumer account at Kalunga, not a blended global/group energy programme.

Public sources show leadership changes/role variations across reporting periods. Arasu Shanmugam appears in 2024–26 disclosures as whole-time/executive director and CEO; a 2026 third-party corporate listing identifies Mihir Prakash Bajoria as Managing Director from March 2026. Verify current signing authority from latest company filing before commercial terms. The operational champion is clearer: Tanmoy Mallick’s public LinkedIn lists him as AGM–Electrical & Instrumentation, Kalunga/Rourkela.

1.2 What they make & where money comes from

IFGL designs, manufactures and sells continuous-casting refractories, slide-gate refractories, monolithics, precast shapes, zircon/zirconia nozzles, casting flux and mechanisms, and provides related technical/service support to steel producers. These products are quality- and heat-intensive. The Kalunga facility has received a Research & Technology Centre, a tar-impregnation plant and shuttle-kiln capability. Refractory operations can expose high-value energy decisions around thermal cycles, auxiliary electricity, peaks and idle intervals, but no public bill establishes a loss.

1.3 Plants, addresses & footprint

The recommended site is IFGL Refractories Limited, Sector B, Kalunga Industrial Estate, P.O. Kalunga, Sundergarh, Odisha 770031; works contact is +91 661 2660195 and ifgl.works@ifgl.in. Kalunga is near Rourkela. The company’s 2023–24 report says it has three national operational locations and one national office; do not treat Kandla or Visakhapatnam data as Kalunga data. Kalunga has an R&T centre inaugurated 24 November 2023. A new Odisha continuous-casting-refractories facility/project was described in investor materials with ~₹150 crore project cost subject to land/allotment and timing—confirm present status before using it as an expansion fact.

1.4 Leadership & CRM map

Tanmoy Mallick, AGM–E&I, is the strongest public target because his profile describes leadership of E&I teams, upgrades, reliability, project delivery and operational efficiency at IFGL, with Rourkela/Kalunga location. The first discovery call should pair him with a process/production owner and person responsible for TPWODL invoice/demand. ifgl.works@ifgl.in is a verified published works inbox, not a personal email; use it to route only after connecting on LinkedIn or via switchboard. Company CEO/MD should be a later escalation/economic path.

1.5 Recent news (24 months) & timing for Stamped

Public signals support a timely conversation: Kalunga R&T centre, tar-impregnation installation, shuttle kiln and India capex across Kalunga/Kandla/Vizag. These changes can alter demand patterns, thermal-baseline consistency and utility schedules. The appropriate tone is “make the new process’s electricity performance auditable,” not “your expansion is inefficient.”

2. Energy profile

DISCOM / supply (name early): TPWODL (TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited) is the appropriate distribution-company hypothesis for the Kalunga/Rourkela belt; confirm the IFGL consumer bill, supply point and tariff directly before scoping.

2.1 Bill band, tariff & demand

IFGL does not publish Kalunga monthly bills, CMD, MD, PF or voltage. A refractory site with kilns and expanded product capability may plausibly have ₹40 lakh–₹1.5 crore/month [~] electricity expenditure, but this is a screening estimate—not a statement of IFGL’s actual TPWODL bill. Obtain 12 bills and 15-minute data; map contract demand, maximum-demand charges, PF incentives/penalties, ToD, outage/DG treatment and all feeders. Separate thermal-fuel cost from electrical cost: Stamped’s invoice verification should not claim to optimise fuel without data and scope.

2.2 Generation, fuel & renewables

No public Kalunga captive-power, solar, DG, open-access/PPA, kiln fuel or steam balance was confirmed. Refractory production often uses fuel/thermal equipment, but the actual energy source must be established. Ask whether kilns are electric, gas/fuel fired, hybrid, and whether electrical auxiliary load is sub-metered.

2.3 EnMS, PAT, ISO, BRSR

The FY24 BRSR/annual report identifies ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 for Kalunga process scope. No verified ISO 50001 or PAT designation was found. The R&T/E&I context suggests data maturity, but no named SCADA/EMS vendor or feeder architecture is public. Begin read-only, bill-first; escalate to historian/PLC/meter integrations only with site permission.

2.4 Likely ₹ leak categories (hypothesis)

Potential levers are thermal-process/auxiliary sequencing, shuttle-kiln and impregnation schedule coordination, high-load overlap, compressed air/vacuum/cooling, off-shift idling, PF and tariff-window dispatch. Do not change firing curves, refractory composition, safety systems, temperature setpoints, QA trials or customer performance specification without plant approval.

3. Operations, equipment & digital stack

3.1 Process flow & critical loads

Product routes differ by refractory. A typical Kalunga flow could include raw-material receipt/preparation, mixing/forming/pressing, drying, firing/sintering or other thermal treatment, tar impregnation for relevant products, machining/finishing, quality testing, packing and dispatch. Candidate electrical loads include mixers, presses, kiln auxiliaries/blowers, material handling, compressors, dust collection, cooling/water systems, R&T equipment and test systems. Confirm each before quantifying a prescription.

3.2 Shifts, seasonality, production pattern

Determine whether kilns are continuous/batch, cycle duration, permitted loading windows, campaign changes, maintenance shutdowns and demand variation by steel-customer schedule. Production-normalise all comparisons by product family, batch/tonnage, thermal cycle and reject/rework status. A lower invoice due to reduced throughput, shutdown or shifted production cannot be counted as saving.

3.3 Automation, metering, SCADA/EMS/DCS

Tanmoy’s E&I remit makes a data conversation credible. Ask what exists at incomer and high-load feeders; whether interval data can be exported; whether PLC/SCADA process tags can be read; and who approves OT access. Stamped is a read-only layer: it uses existing bills/meters and approved production data to issue tasks, never writes to kiln or process control.

3.4 Capex / tech projects affecting energy

Log R&T start-up, tar-impregnation commissioning, shuttle-kiln additions and any new Odisha capacity as baseline-break dates. The first site proof should use a stable operating interval and explicitly exclude commissioning/trial runs from savings evidence.

4. Stamped Energy fit analysis

4.1 ICP scorecard

Manufacturing and process intensity: pass. Potential scale: pass/likely. Champion: strong public E&I contact. Data maturity: likely, unverified. TPWODL bill ≥₹30L: unverified. Geography: Odisha is outside core North-India-first motion, so it is a strategic expansion account rather than a core-density target.

4.2 Fit score rationale

Fit score: 8/10. IFGL has process-specific energy levers, a published E&I champion, investment timing and a potentially large Kalunga consumer account. Score is conditional on actual bill floor, safe process flexibility and site-level data authority.

4.3 Wedge (parser-critical)

The strongest wedge is: at Kalunga, use TPWODL bill and existing E&I/process data to separate unavoidable refractory thermal production from avoidable peak coincidence, auxiliary idle load and PF cost—then assign safe actions and verify them on the invoice.

4.4 Objections & competitors

The E&I team may say an existing system already monitors energy. Position Stamped above it: “your system shows a trend; we create an assigned, ₹-ranked action and invoice reconciliation.” Process leadership may say firing cycles cannot change; agree and scope only approved flexible/support loads. Alternatives include internal E&I, furnace OEMs, APFC vendors, energy auditors and EMS providers. Do not compete with them through an unsupported hardware claim.

4.5 Pilot design

Scope one Kalunga TPWODL account. In weeks 1–2, obtain bills, interval demand, asset/feeder map, batch/production data, process constraints and expansion timeline. Weeks 3–6 build matched-cycle baseline. Weeks 7–12 execute approved actions on peak sequencing, idle utilities/PF or tariff timing, record owner/action/status and reconcile to an agreed bill methodology. Kill criteria: <₹30L bill, no interval/bill data, no named action owner or no safe flexible load.

5. Before you reach out

5.1 Discovery checklist

Confirm exact Kalunga consumer name, TPWODL tariff, voltage, CMD/MD and bill band.
Request 12 invoices and 15-minute data; separate demand, energy and PF components.
Map kiln/firing/impregnation process boundaries and the E&I feeder architecture.
Confirm energy source for thermal steps and which auxiliaries are electric.
Identify Tanmoy’s process, maintenance and production co-owners.
Date all R&T, tar-impregnation, shuttle-kiln and expansion commissioning events.

5.2 Do not lead with

Do not imply that every kiln/furnace setting can move.
Do not lead with generic ESG, solar EPC, or a dashboard replacement.
Do not state a specific TPWODL bill or savings before the invoice/data review.

5.3 Opening hooks (email / call / WhatsApp)

“The question is not whether a refractory thermal cycle consumes energy—it must. The question is whether the TPWODL bill exposes avoidable peak overlap, PF or auxiliary-idle ₹, and whether E&I can assign a safe corrective action with proof next cycle.”

6. Risks, flags & sources

6.1 Integrity / controversy / regulatory (search explicitly)

Targeted searches for IFGL Refractories/Kalunga paired with fraud, scam, litigation, NGT, pollution, PCB and regulatory terms found no credible company-specific controversy that can responsibly be asserted here. The honest risks are scope/data risks: group plant confusion, ongoing capex, thermal-fuel/electricity boundary, and an unverified TPWODL account. This is not a legal or regulatory clearance.

6.2 Data quality flags

TPWODL is a location-based supply hypothesis and requires bill confirmation.
Kalunga equipment, fuel mix, site bill and meter topology are not public.
Current CEO/MD status differs across sources; check latest filing.
Tanmoy’s public role is strong; no personal email is asserted.
Listed company/global headcount or group revenue cannot be used as Kalunga site scale.

Subject: Kalunga kiln and TPWODL bill proof

Tanmoy ji,

I’m Utso Sarkar, co-founder of Stamped Energy (IIT Roorkee). IFGL’s Kalunga additions—tar impregnation, shuttle-kiln capability and R&T work—make the energy question operational: which furnace/process schedules and supporting loads create avoidable TPWODL demand or idle cost?

Stamped sits read-only on existing meters/PLC/SCADA and bills. It turns load sequencing, heater discipline, PF and off-shift utility patterns into named ₹ tasks, then verifies the result on the next invoice. We do not replace your E&I systems or write to controls.

If Kalunga’s monthly bill is ₹30L+, could we take 20 minutes with the process and electrical owners?

Utso Sarkar · Co-founder, Stamped Energy · stamped.work

4. WhatsApp / LinkedIn DM

Tanmoy ji—Utso, Stamped Energy (IIT Roorkee). For Kalunga, we would start with safe kiln/thermal-process sequencing, MD/PF and idle-utility evidence from your existing data, then prove any action on the TPWODL bill. No controls write, no new EMS. Is a 20-minute bill-band check possible?

5. Cold-call script (≈45 seconds)

Open: “Tanmoy ji, Utso Sarkar—Stamped Energy, IIT Roorkee. Forty seconds on Kalunga’s TPWODL bill?”
Hook: “We help E&I teams see which kiln, impregnation and supporting-load timing creates demand or hold-energy cost, then assign a safe action without touching the process recipe.”
Proof: “This is not maintenance software or an EMS replacement: each task has an owner and ₹ value and is verified against the next invoice.”
Ask: “Could we confirm the largest Kalunga consumer account, rough monthly bill and the process owner for a scoped 90-day proof?”
If busy: “May I send the three qualification questions to ifgl.works@ifgl.in?”
