Does management do what it says?
The facility is progressing with a confirmed outlay of INR 20+ crores and is expected to be commissioned in the next 3-4 months. (1 in progress across 1 tracked commitment)
“The sheet metal fabrication facility with a capital outlay of approximately INR20+crores is expected to be commissioned in the next three to four months.”
Revenue from higher voltage power transformers (up to 245 KV) is expected to start from FY28. — target: Revenue contribution (+1 more commitment)
“So the real revenue from the higher voltage power transformers would come in in the next financial year FY28 only and that's our expectations on that.”
A decision on the next level of capacity expansion is expected within three months. — target: Decision on expansion (+1 more commitment)
“Is there a timeline by which we sort of take a decision in terms of next level of expansion? Shivam Talwar: Hopefully in the next three months.”

How durable is the business?
Export revenue grew by 11.6% year-over-year. While growing in absolute terms, its share of total sales dropped slightly from 2.4% to 2.1% due to the massive surge in domestic demand. (4 expanding)
“So, this year we are hopeful that at least we should be touching 15% to 20% somewhere in between that is our faith in this.”
The company is significantly strengthening its technical moat by entering the Extra High Voltage (EHV) segment up to 245 KV. It also achieved a first-in-India BIS license for Ester (biodegradable fluid) filled distribution transformers. (4 expanding)
“The segment has naturally high entry barriers including extensive testing requirements, audits, performance validation. We are well into that journey and we believe this segment will become a meaningful contributor for our revenue from FY28 onwards.”
The transformer segment continues to dominate revenue, growing by 29.7% year-over-year. Inverter-duty transformers (IDT) remain the leading contributor, having powered over 12 GW of solar projects. (4 expanding across 1 engine)
“Next our Panel and Automation division as well is which is currently contributing about 7% to 9% of our revenue... our key revenue driver of inverter duty transformers.”
Order book visibility remains strong with a confirmed book of over INR 500 crores, providing 6-9 months of revenue coverage. (1 expanding)
“As of today, our confirmed order book stands at over INR500 crores compared to about INR450 crores at the time of our last call.”
EBITDA margins stabilized at 19% despite ramp-up costs for new facilities and volatile raw material prices (transformer oil up 100%+). (1 stable)
“Despite the commissioning and the ramp up costs associated with the new facility we have been still able to maintain a healthy EBITDA margins of approximately 19%”

Where does growth come from?
The company is doubling its transformer capacity to 11,000 MVA per annum. Phase 1 was completed in October 2025, and Phase 2 is on track for December 2025 completion, despite earlier monsoon-related delays. (1 steady, 2 accelerating, 1 new trend across 4 signals, 2 leading indicators)
“I am pleased to share that both phases of our capacity expansion which were planned post our IPO are now fully commissioned and operational... With this our transformer manufacturing capacity has increased to approximately 11,000 MVA on an annual basis.”
The company is expanding its product line into 'Dry Type' transformers to capture the high-growth data center market, where demand for specialized power infrastructure is surging.
“Next in terms of the dry type transformers... The demand is rising across data centers. And we are currently building capacities and certification pathways to increase this segment as well.”
Export contribution is accelerating from historically low levels to a target of 10% this year, with a long-term goal of reaching 30% of total revenue by FY28. (2 accelerating, 1 steady across 3 signals, 1 leading indicator)
“So, if we have to commit to a new client in export, we have to make sure that we have capacities available for them... we have already signed some long-term framework agreements with our clients in the international segment as well. So, this year we are hopeful that at least we should be touching 15% to 20% somewhere in between.”
The company is investing Rs. 20 crores in a new sheet metal fabrication facility to resolve supply chain bottlenecks and improve quality, expected to be operational in 6-8 months. (2 new trend across 2 signals, 1 leading indicator)
“With the new facility our power transformer division is also now activated. We have upgraded our capabilities to manufacture transformers up to 100 MVA and 245 KV voltage class... we believe this segment will become a meaningful contributor for our revenue from FY28 onwards.”
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as a major new revenue vertical, already accounting for a quarter of the current order book. (1 new trend across 1 signal)
“Naman Parmar: Okay, understood. So, currently in our current order book, how much would be the BESS project contributing? Shivam Talwar: I think it should be about 20% to 25% roughly.”

What could break the thesis?
The risk remains stable as management explicitly expects momentum to 'accelerate in H2 FY2026', confirming the back-ended nature of the business. (1 stable, 1 insufficient_data, 1 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“but certain prices where we have seen abnormal rise like in transformer oil there is an 100% plus rise.”
The risk is intensifying as the company is now actively executing the capital expenditure to enter this segment, with Phase 1 and Phase 2 capacity additions scheduled for late 2025. (2 intensifying, 1 easing, 1 stable)
“So the real revenue from the higher voltage power transformers would come in in the next financial year FY28 only and that's our expectations on that.”
The risk remains high as the company explicitly states it is following a 'margin-conscious' and 'selective' approach to new orders to protect profitability, implying the existing fixed-price exposure is a concern. (3 stable, 1 easing, 1 high-severity)
“if you are looking at the total mix I think again around, around 30% of the orders should be on price variation.”
Competition is intensifying with new players like Waaree Energies entering and listed peers like Shilchar and CG Power active. Management noted a 1-1.5% drop in gross margins. (1 intensifying, 1 stable)
“See, competition will always come in wherever other manufacturers feel there is some potential. Everyone would want to take a pie of that.”
