DANISH - Danish Power

📊 NSE: DANISH 🏢 Electric Equipment 📅 Last Updated: 12/13/2025 21:21

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

The company reported a 29% YoY revenue growth in H1 FY26, reaching INR 211 Cr compared to INR 163 Cr in H1 FY25. The Inverter Duty Transformer (IDT) segment is a primary driver, contributing approximately 70% of total revenues. Overall revenue has grown at a 41% CAGR over the three fiscals ending March 2024, driven by demand in the renewable energy sector.

Geographic Revenue Split

Domestic sales dominate the mix, but exports are a strategic focus. Exports currently contribute to the revenue with a target to reach 20% in the next year and 30% the year after. No single customer contributes more than 15-20% of overall revenue, indicating low geographic and client concentration risk.

Profitability Margins

Operating margins improved to 16.8% in FY24 and are projected to reach 19-20% for FY25 (19.8% reported through December 2024). This improvement is attributed to a higher contribution from the high-margin Inverter Duty Transformer segment. However, gross margins saw a 1-1.5% compression in H1 FY26 due to increased industry competition and supply.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margins are expected to remain stable in the 19-20% range. Management aims to sustain these levels despite a 1-1.5% drop in gross margins by focusing on high-margin customized orders and operational efficiencies.

Capital Expenditure

The company has planned a capital expenditure of INR 40 Cr over the medium term for business requirements. Additionally, INR 198 Cr was raised through an IPO in October 2024, with INR 120 Cr held in unencumbered fixed deposits as of February 2025 to be utilized for future capex and working capital.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

The company maintains a 'Positive' outlook from CRISIL. The financial risk profile is strong with a projected net worth of INR 310-320 Cr and gearing below 0.1x as of March 31, 2025. Interest coverage is healthy at a projected 14-15 times for FY25.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Specific raw materials like copper, aluminum, and CRGO steel are essential for transformer manufacturing; however, the specific percentage of total cost for each is not disclosed in the available documents.

Capacity Expansion

The company is undergoing capacity expansion expected to be fully operational by December 2025. This expansion is designed to support the revenue guidance of INR 500-550 Cr for FY26 and an estimated INR 650 Cr for FY27.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material price volatility is cited as a key risk that could cause actual outcomes to differ from projections. Management employs a made-to-order strategy to mitigate some pricing risks, though gross margins recently fluctuated by 1-1.5%.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The company operates on a made-to-order basis, emphasizing customization. Efficiency is monitored through the execution of a INR 405 Cr order book within a 6-8 month timeline.

Logistics & Distribution

Logistics are impacted by seasonal factors; abnormally high monsoons in H1 FY26 delayed client projects, preventing the shipment of goods and resulting in an 'H1 light' revenue cycle.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

20-25%

Growth Strategy

Growth will be achieved through a three-pronged strategy: 1) Expanding manufacturing capacity with full operational status by Dec 2025; 2) Increasing export market share from current levels to 30% within two years; and 3) Maintaining dominance in the Inverter Duty Transformer (IDT) market which supports renewable energy projects.

Products & Services

Inverter Duty Transformers (IDT), power transformers, and customized transformer solutions for renewable and traditional power sectors.

Brand Portfolio

Danish Power

New Products/Services

The company continues to focus on R&D for product diversification and higher-rating transformers (e.g., 50 MVA), though higher ratings may result in slightly lower realization per unit compared to smaller, high-volume units.

Market Expansion

Targeting international markets to increase export revenue contribution to 30% by FY27, focusing on regions that offer higher margins than the Indian domestic market.

Market Share & Ranking

The company is a leading player in the Inverter Duty Transformer segment, having entered the market in 2011. It competes with listed peers like Shilchar Technologies and CG Power.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The transformer industry is seeing a significant rise in demand due to the renewable energy transition. However, this has led to a surge in supply as existing players expand and new entrants like Waaree Energies enter the market, creating potential margin pressure.

Competitive Landscape

Key competitors include Shilchar Technologies, Wilson Power, Crompton, CG Power, Atlanta Electric, and new entrant Waaree Energies.

Competitive Moat

The company's moat is built on its early-mover advantage in Inverter Duty Transformers (since 2011) and its ability to provide in-house customization. This specialization makes it difficult for clients to switch suppliers once a project is designed around specific Danish Power units.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

The company is highly sensitive to the growth of the Indian power sector and renewable energy initiatives, which drive the demand for Inverter Duty Transformers.

Consumer Behavior

Shift toward renewable energy sources is increasing the demand for specialized transformers like IDTs.

Geopolitical Risks

Market fluctuations and international economic performance are cited as inherent risks to the company's export expansion strategy.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are subject to the Companies Act, 2013 and Accounting Standards. The company must comply with international quality standards to maintain its export eligibility.

Legal Contingencies

The company has disclosed the impact of pending litigations in Note No-28 of its financial statements, though the specific INR value of these contingencies is not provided in the summary.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the 'oversupply' risk in the transformer industry which could impact margins by more than the 1-1.5% already observed. Project execution delays by clients due to environmental factors (monsoons) also pose a risk to annual revenue targets.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Low; the company caters to various private and government entities across India and is actively diversifying into international markets.

Third Party Dependencies

The company depends on the timely project execution of its clients; delays at the client site lead to inventory build-up of customized goods that cannot be repurposed.
