Key Points

Positve
  • Revenue from operations for Q1 FY27 grew 31.6% year-on-year to Rs 294.5 crore, driven by strong execution in the piping segment.
  • Operating EBITDA margin improved to 16.9% in Q1 FY27 from 16% in Q1 FY26, supported by better capacity utilization and operating leverage.
  • Received a significant domestic purchase order of Rs 386.82 crore from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, one of the largest single orders in recent history.
  • The Thailand facility is practically 100% booked for the next three years, with a target to increase revenue to Rs 170-200 crore.
  • The Rs 300 crore preferential issue was allotted, with proceeds used to repay debt, expected to reduce net debt to Rs 400-425 crore by FY27 end and improve return ratios.
  • The newly commissioned biomass pellet plant is expected to contribute to revenue, with a target of Rs 80 crore from the non-core segment in FY27.
  • Management remains confident in achieving FY27 revenue guidance of Rs 1,500 crore plus and an EBITDA margin of over 19%.
  • Strong order book of Rs 2,408 crore as of June 30, 2026, providing good revenue visibility.
  • Siemens has signed a memorandum of understanding to provide continuous GT piping business starting next year, with 10 units in the first year.
  • The seamless pipe plant is expected to contribute to margin improvement as utilization ramps up, with a target of 50% captive consumption and 50% outside sales.
Negative
  • Around Rs 25 crore of dispatches scheduled for Q1 were pushed to Q2 due to deferrals by export customers in the Middle East.
  • The HRSG order from GE is delayed, although an agreement for 15-16 units exists, which may impact future order inflows.
  • The EBIT of the power plant division turned negative again in Q1 FY27, partly due to the focus on ramping up the new pellet plant.
  • Gross margins are expected to be lower due to a higher proportion of material-intensive power sector jobs, though EBITDA margins are guided to remain above 19%.
  • Working capital cycle remains elevated at 263 days, with debtor days increasing to 123, though management is working to reduce this.
  • The pace of order inflows from BHEL for domestic power projects has been slower than expected, though other customers are filling the gap.
  • The company has not yet received any direct inquiries from the Gulf region for reconstruction work, with potential orders expected only through OEMs.
  • The Anjar facility is currently operating at only around 50% capacity utilization, with a target to reach 100% only by FY28-29.
  • The tax rate is expected to fluctuate between 20-21% on a consolidated basis, which may create variability in quarterly net profit.
  • The company missed a fertilizer-related opportunity as a foreign customer awarded the work to a local player in their country.
