INGERRAND - Ingersoll-Rand
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue from operations reached INR 1,374.58 Cr in FY25, a 10.75% increase from INR 1,241.20 Cr in FY24. The high-margin services segment (7% of revenue) grew 23% YoY, while finished products (91% of revenue) grew 5% YoY in fiscal 2024. H1 FY25 revenue grew 10.2% YoY to INR 640 Cr.
Geographic Revenue Split
Domestic sales dominate the portfolio, supported by an established position in the Indian compressor market. Export sales are tracked separately, with the company leveraging its global parent network, though specific regional percentage splits are not disclosed beyond the total export trend shown in visual charts.
Profitability Margins
Gross profit for FY25 was INR 378.76 Cr (27.5% margin) compared to INR 317.85 Cr in FY24. Net profit rose 20.3% to INR 267.52 Cr in FY25. Operating margins improved by 230 basis points to 24.0% in FY24 due to cost reductions and lower commodity prices, reaching 25.3% in H1 FY25.
EBITDA Margin
Operating margin is projected to stabilize between 20-22% over the medium term. The current H1 FY25 margin of 25.3% reflects high operational efficiency and the resolution of previous supplier-related constraints that had limited volume growth.
Capital Expenditure
The company is investing INR 170 Cr in a new manufacturing plant in Gujarat. This facility is designed to increase production capacity by 50%, moving from 10,000 units per month to 15,000 units per month to meet rising industrial demand.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Maintains a 'CRISIL AA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' rating. The company is debt-free with a healthy financial risk profile. Borrowing costs are minimal, evidenced by finance costs of only INR 1.36 Cr in FY25, primarily related to lease liabilities or minor operational charges rather than long-term debt.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include steel and iron, which are critical for compressor manufacturing. Fluctuations in these commodity prices directly impact the operating margin, as seen in the 230 bps margin expansion when prices moderated in FY24.
Import Sources
Sourcing is primarily domestic within India to support the Gujarat and existing manufacturing bases, supplemented by technological components and specialized parts facilitated through the global supply chain of the ultimate parent, Ingersoll Rand Inc (USA).
Key Suppliers
Not specifically named in the documents, but the company recently resolved a 'supplier-related issue' in Q2 FY25 which had previously hindered production volumes, indicating a reliance on specialized component vendors for compressor assembly.
Capacity Expansion
Current installed capacity is 10,000 units per month. A planned expansion to 15,000 units per month (a 50% increase) is underway at the new Gujarat site, with production expected to commence in Q2 FY26.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are a significant portion of the expense base; total expenses were INR 1,014.22 Cr in FY25. Profitability remains highly susceptible to volatility in steel and iron prices, which the company manages through cost reduction measures and operational efficiencies.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company focuses on 'Execution Excellence' to drive margins. The transition to a new 15,000-unit capacity plant is expected to further improve economies of scale and operational throughput.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution is handled through an established domestic network. The company's presence in the domestic compressor segment is a key driver of its 'Stable' outlook and market leadership.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
15-20%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved through a 50% capacity expansion (15,000 units/month), aggressive cross-selling of high-margin services (which grew 23% recently), and capitalizing on the domestic industrial capex cycle. The new Gujarat plant (INR 170 Cr investment) is the primary vehicle for volume growth starting Q2 FY26.
Products & Services
Industrial air compressors, reciprocating compressors, centrifugal compressors, and high-margin aftermarket services including maintenance and spare parts.
Brand Portfolio
Ingersoll Rand
New Products/Services
Expansion of the high-margin services business is expected to contribute more than the current 7% of revenue, acting as a buffer against the cyclical nature of new product sales.
Market Expansion
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint in Gujarat to better serve the domestic industrial market and potentially increase export volumes through the parent's global channels.
Market Share & Ranking
Holds a leading position in the domestic compressor manufacturing segment in India, supported by strong brand recognition and global technology.
Strategic Alliances
Receives continuous technological and operational support from ultimate parent Ingersoll Rand Inc (USA). No local joint ventures or subsidiaries are currently held.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward energy-efficient compressors and digital monitoring services. IRIL is positioned to capture this through its 'services' segment growth and technological backing from its 'BBB' rated global parent.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with both global and domestic engineering firms in the compressor space, maintaining an edge through its extensive service network and technological pedigree.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on the 'Ingersoll Rand' brand, a debt-free balance sheet, and exclusive access to the parent's proprietary compressor technology, which is difficult for local competitors to replicate at scale.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to industrial GDP and the capex cycle. A slowdown in industrial activity in early FY24 led to a moderation in revenue growth to 5.7% before recovering to 10.2% in H1 FY25.
Consumer Behavior
Industrial customers are increasingly prioritizing total cost of ownership and uptime, driving the 23% growth in IRIL's high-margin service business.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers or global supply chain disruptions could impact the sourcing of specialized components from the parent company or international suppliers.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Complies with the Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules, 2014 and standard manufacturing regulations. No significant regulatory hurdles were reported that impact the going concern status.
Environmental Compliance
The company publishes a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) aligned with NGRBC principles, focusing on sustainable operations and environmental responsibility.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate for FY25 was approximately 25.7%, with a total tax expense of INR 92.83 Cr on a profit before tax of INR 360.34 Cr.
Legal Contingencies
No significant or material orders passed by regulators or courts impacting the going concern status. No proceedings are pending under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Primary risks include the cyclicality of industrial demand (potential 10-20% revenue volatility) and the impact of raw material price spikes on the 20-22% projected medium-term margins.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Concentrated in the Indian domestic market, though the new Gujarat plant provides a strategic base for both domestic and potential export growth.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on the ultimate parent for technology and a recent history of supplier-related bottlenecks that impacted quarterly performance.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by continuous technology transfer from Ingersoll Rand Inc, ensuring products remain at the forefront of industrial compressor standards.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Maintains high-quality receivables and a strong liquidity position, although high dividend payouts (INR 236.76 Cr) are noted by rating agencies as a factor that moderates cash reserves.
