Order Book: As of June 30, 2026, the total executable order book is ₹ 9,216.40 million, representing 564 3-phase propulsion equipment sets.

Financial Performance Health

Balance Sheet health detail: Total assets grew significantly from ₹ 741.19 million to ₹ 1,457.37 million in FY26, primarily driven by a surge in inventories (₹ 674.85 million) for new propulsion orders.

Share of domestic and exports: Revenue is almost entirely domestic, serving Indian Railways and domestic OEM suppliers.


Debt and CapEx (Last 3 Years):

  1. Total Debt: Increased from ₹ 275.85 million (FY24) to ₹ 498.93 million (FY26).
  2. CapEx: Totalled ₹ 250.72 million over the last three years (₹ 43.60 mn, ₹ 25.49 mn, and ₹ 181.63 mn respectively).

Profit Margins: EBITDA Margin dropped from 13.80% to (19.97%), and PAT Margin fell from 2.17% to (25.36%) in FY26. These decreased primarily due to high R&D costs charged to the P&L and a shift in product mix with lower margins on control panels.
