Key Financial Highlights from Management Commentary:

  • Orders: H1 order intake grew 25% Year-on-Year (YoY) to INR 2,180 crore. Q2 order intake was INR 1,265 crore, a greater than 50% increase like-to-like.
  • Sales: Q2 sales grew 20% YoY to ~INR 780 crore. H1 sales grew 12.5% to INR 1,400 crore.
  • Profitability: Q2 EBIT margin was 7.2%, improving sequentially from 4% in Q1. H1 EBIT margin stood at 6.2%. Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q2 was INR 30 crore, down 43% YoY from INR 52 crore.
  • Margin Pressure: The drop in profitability was attributed primarily to a sharp increase in material costs, specifically for copper, transformer oil, and steel. The company noted challenges in passing these costs through to customers due to tender terms that often lack price variation clauses.
  • Depreciation: Depreciation increased due to the partial capitalization of the Kolkata Medium Voltage Components (KMVC) capacity expansion, which was recently approved by the Board.

Strategic and Business Updates:

  • Awards & Recognition: The company won several awards, including the Golden Peacock Award for corporate governance, an award from the Indian Chamber of Commerce for sustainability manufacturing, and two awards at the POWERGEN India & Indian Utility Week.
  • New Product Launch: The company launched a new advanced, digitally sensorized circuit breaker manufactured in its Kolkata plant, claimed to have twice the industry life and 40% lower maintenance costs.
  • Key Growth Drivers: Management highlighted four mega-trends supporting demand: Energy Transition, AI & Digitalization, Urbanization, and Make in India. Specific growth segments mentioned were data centers, semiconductors, and renewables.
  • Project Wins: The call detailed recent wins, including supplying powertrain for a semiconductor setup in Gujarat, a skid-mounted station for a data center in West India, and solutions for sectors like metals, automotive, defense, and EV batteries.
  • Capacity Expansion: The Kolkata plant's capacity for medium voltage components (interrupters) is being expanded in phases, recently approved to increase from 2.5 lakh to 3.75 lakh units per annum due to strong demand outlook, including for exports.
  • Sustainability & CSR: The company reported 100% renewable energy sourcing at its sites, a gender diversity ratio nearing 20%, and training for 1,900 youth through its skill centers in Gujarat.
