Revenue Growth by Segment

Total revenue grew at a 3-year CAGR of 25.7%, reaching INR 215.3 Cr in FY25. H1 FY26 revenue stood at INR 116.7 Cr. While specific segment-wise INR splits are not provided, the company is expanding into high-value segments like GFRP Rebar and CFRP to drive future growth.

Geographic Revenue Split

Exports contributed 61% (INR 129.0 Cr) of revenue in FY25, up from 56% (INR 109.5 Cr) in FY24. Domestic sales accounted for 39% (INR 83.2 Cr) in FY25. In H1 FY26, exports maintained a strong presence at 55% of total revenue, serving over 39 countries.

Profitability Margins

Profit After Tax (PAT) grew at a 3-year CAGR of 54.6%, reaching INR 13.3 Cr in FY25. Return on Equity (ROE) stood at 19.6% and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) at 16.5% for FY25, indicating efficient capital utilization to generate profits.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin was 8.3% (INR 17.9 Cr) in FY25 and 7.5% (INR 8.7 Cr) in H1 FY26. The company has a long-term target of 10%+ EBITDA margins, intended to be achieved through operational efficiencies, solar energy adoption, and increased high-margin export volumes.

Capital Expenditure

Planned CAPEX of INR 27 Cr funded from IPO proceeds for infrastructure and capacity expansion. Specifically, INR 7.5 Cr is allocated for 5 FRP rebar production lines and associated machinery to capture the growing infrastructure demand.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

The company maintains a strong, low-debt balance sheet with robust liquidity. Specific credit ratings and interest rate percentages are not disclosed in the available documents.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key raw materials include various resins (including specialized and alternate resins) and reinforcing fibers used in pultrusion and moulding processes. These constitute a significant portion of the cost structure, though specific percentage splits per material are not disclosed.

Import Sources

Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company employs a multi-supplier sourcing strategy to mitigate procurement risks.

Capacity Expansion

The company is adding 22,000 tons of capacity at its Mehsana plant. In the FRP rebar segment, 2 lines are currently installed, with plans to reach 5 operational lines by the end of FY26 to meet rising global demand.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are managed through long-term contracts and R&D into alternate resins. Volatility in resin prices directly impacts the cost of goods sold, necessitating a diversified supplier base to maintain the 8.3% EBITDA margin achieved in FY25.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Efficiency is driven by standardized operating procedures (SOPs), ERP-enabled controls for automated checks, and the integration of pultrusion, moulding, and fabrication processes under one roof.

Logistics & Distribution

Logistics costs are a factor of the 55% export revenue share. The company utilizes natural hedging and forward contracts to manage the financial impact of international distribution and forex fluctuations.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

15%+

Growth Strategy

Growth will be achieved through a 22,000-ton capacity expansion at the Mehsana plant, increasing FRP rebar lines from 2 to 5 by FY26, and strategic entry into Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) markets. The company is leveraging its 'Star Export House' status to deepen penetration in 39+ international markets.

Products & Services

FRP/GRP Gratings, Pultruded Profiles, FRP Rebar, CFRP products, utility poles, and industrial structures used in railways, chemical plants, and wind energy sectors.

Brand Portfolio

Aeron Composite

New Products/Services

GFRP Rebar and CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) products are the primary new lines, expected to contribute meaningfully to EBITDA and profits within the next year as 5 production lines become fully operative.

Market Expansion

Targeting expansion in international markets (currently 55% of revenue) and niche domestic segments like telecom and oil & gas. The new Mehsana facility is central to this expansion timeline over FY26.

Strategic Alliances

The company engages in strategic alliances with industry players and research institutions to enhance R&D capabilities and foster technological advancements in composite materials.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials like FRP to replace steel. The global composite market is growing, driven by aerospace and renewable energy (wind) requirements for high strength-to-weight ratios.

Competitive Landscape

Competes with global and domestic composite manufacturers. Competitive advantage is maintained through a low-debt balance sheet and a diversified product portfolio ranging from pultruded profiles to advanced CFRP.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on 90+ years of combined promoter expertise, DSIR-recognized R&D, and a comprehensive suite of global certifications (ISO, CE, RoHS) which act as high entry barriers in regulated international markets.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Demand is highly sensitive to infrastructure and industrial capex cycles. A 15%+ revenue growth outlook is supported by burgeoning demand for lightweight materials in automotive and wind energy sectors.

Consumer Behavior

Increasing preference for sustainable and long-life materials in construction (GFRP Rebar) to reduce lifecycle maintenance costs is driving adoption away from traditional steel.

Geopolitical Risks

Trade barriers or changes in import/export regulations in any of the 39 countries of operation could impact the 61% export revenue base. Mitigation is sought through geographic diversification.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Adheres to stringent manufacturing standards including ISO 9001:2015 and CE certifications. Operations are subject to DSIR guidelines for R&D and Star Export House regulations for international trade.

Environmental Compliance

Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards. The company is also investing in solar energy to reduce its carbon footprint and operational costs.

Legal Contingencies

Management has certified that there are no significant changes in internal controls, no significant changes in accounting policies, and no instances of significant fraud involving management or employees as of the FY25 annual report.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Volatility in raw material prices (resins) and the cyclical nature of infrastructure spending are primary uncertainties that could impact the 15%+ growth guidance.

Geographic Concentration Risk

55% of revenue is concentrated in international markets (exports), making the company vulnerable to global trade dynamics, though this is spread across 39 countries.

Third Party Dependencies

Dependency on specialized resin and fiber suppliers is mitigated through a multi-vendor sourcing strategy.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

FRP technology evolves rapidly; the company mitigates this through its DSIR-approved R&D lab and strategic expansion into advanced CFRP materials.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

The company maintains robust liquidity and a strong capital structure to manage receivables and credit exposure, though specific receivables quality metrics are not disclosed.
