ATLANTAELE - Atlanta Electric
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue grew 43% YoY to INR 1,244.18 Cr in FY25. Segment mix is dominated by Transmission & Distribution (T&D) at 75%, followed by Renewable Solar at 16%, Renewable Wind at 5%, and others at 4%. Q2 FY26 revenue stood at INR 317 Cr, up 17.3% YoY.
Geographic Revenue Split
The company is expanding its domestic presence with utilities like GETCO and PGCIL while actively broadening its export footprint to leverage India's cost competitiveness. Specific regional percentage splits are not disclosed.
Profitability Margins
FY25 Net Profit Margin was 9.54% (INR 118.65 Cr). Q2 FY26 PAT margin declined to 8.0% (INR 25 Cr) from 9.9% in Q2 FY25 due to a 6% decline caused by higher interest and depreciation from new facilities. H1 FY26 PAT margin was 8.9% (INR 56 Cr).
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin improved to 16.07% in FY25 from 14.20% in FY24. H1 FY26 EBITDA margin reached 16.4% (INR 104 Cr), up from 14.6% in H1 FY25, driven by operational efficiencies and cutting overhead/testing expenses.
Capital Expenditure
Planned capex of INR 100 Cr in fiscal 2027 for backward integration in a subsidiary. Recent capex includes capacity expansion at the Vadod plant and the acquisition of Atlanta Trafo Pvt Ltd for an EV of approximately INR 260 Cr.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Ratings upgraded to 'Crisil A/Stable/Crisil A1' in October 2025. Borrowing costs are being reduced by prepaying INR 130 Cr of term loans using INR 400 Cr IPO proceeds, with plans to repay an additional INR 80 Cr.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented) steel, CTC (Continuously Transposed Conductors), and bushings. Specific cost percentages for each are not disclosed.
Key Suppliers
Not disclosed by name; however, management indicates they maintain strong relationships by providing long-term order visibility to secure supply.
Capacity Expansion
Expanding into higher voltage classes including 400 kV and 765 kV. Peak utilization is projected for FY28, at which point 2/3 of capacity will be dedicated to 400 kV and 765 kV class transformers.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are managed through early order placement. FY25 growth was partially driven by moderate price realization amid high input prices.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Focusing on automation and digitization to sustain quality as volumes rise. New manufacturing facilities are expected to reach peak operating levels from Q3 FY26.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
60.7%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by scaling capacity utilization at BTW plants, entering the high-margin 400/765 kV EHV segment, and expanding export footprints. The company has a robust order book of INR 1,943 Cr as of September 2025.
Products & Services
Power Transformers, Auto Transformers, and Inverter Duty Transformers (33 kV to 765 kV class).
Brand Portfolio
Atlanta Trafo (100% subsidiary), Atlanta Electricals.
New Products/Services
Entry into 400 kV and 765 kV class transformers, which have structurally higher entry barriers and margins.
Market Expansion
Targeting renewable transmission projects and international export markets to leverage India's cost competitiveness.
Strategic Alliances
Acquired 100% stake in Atlanta Trafo Pvt Ltd (formerly a 90:10 JV with BTW) to gain EHV manufacturing capabilities.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is seeing a shift toward higher kV class transformers and renewable energy integration. Revenue recognition is seasonal, typically clustering post-monsoon in H2.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with major players like CG Power and Transformers & Rectifiers India Ltd (TRIL) in the high-voltage segment.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 30+ years of promoter experience, established utility relationships, and high technical entry barriers in the 765 kV transformer segment.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Business is highly sensitive to government infrastructure spending and the economy's overall capex cycle, as most clients are state-sector undertakings.
Consumer Behavior
Utility clients schedule shutdowns and capital expenditure toward the end of the fiscal year, leading to stronger H2 performance.
Geopolitical Risks
Export growth strategy makes the company sensitive to international trade standards and India's cost competitiveness relative to global peers.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by tender-based bidding processes for state electricity boards and compliance with EHV testing standards for PGCIL and other utilities.
Taxation Policy Impact
Current tax liabilities (net) stood at INR 9.9 Cr as of September 2025. Specific tax rate percentage not disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in tender-based orders and the ability to bid successfully against aggressive competition are primary risks to revenue stability.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Significant revenue is derived from Indian state utilities like GETCO (Gujarat) and Telangana utility.
Third Party Dependencies
Moderate dependency on specialized suppliers for CRGO steel and CTC conductors.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk is mitigated by ongoing investments in EHV technology (765 kV) and automation to maintain manufacturing standards.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Exposure is primarily to government-linked utilities; while credit risk is low, payment cycles can lead to high receivables (108 days).
