šŸ’° Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total revenue grew 63% from INR 233.45 Cr in FY23 to INR 380.56 Cr in FY25. Segmental breakdown for FY25: New/Customized machines contributed INR 231.90 Cr (60.9%), Used/Refurbished machines contributed INR 131.11 Cr (34.5%), and the proprietary HexL brand contributed INR 14.42 Cr (3.8%).

Geographic Revenue Split

The company is heavily export-oriented with 99.18% of revenue (INR 377.43 Cr) derived from international markets and only 0.82% (INR 3.13 Cr) from domestic Indian sales in FY25.

Profitability Margins

PAT margins improved from 4.33% in FY23 to 5.03% in FY25. In H1 FY26, PAT margins significantly expanded to 9.04% (INR 11 Cr PAT on INR 121.6 Cr revenue) due to a shift toward higher-margin products and operational efficiencies.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin increased from 6.29% in FY23 to 7.52% in FY25. For H1 FY26, the EBITDA margin strengthened further to 9% (INR 16.2 Cr), up from 4.8% (INR 10.3 Cr) in H1 FY25, representing an 87.5% improvement in margin profile.

Capital Expenditure

JKIPL follows an asset-light model with no heavy factory capex; HexL machines are produced via outsourced contract manufacturing. Historical investment includes a centralized ERP system at the Raipur HO and a 30,000 sq. ft. refurbishment center.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CRISIL assigned a 'CRISIL BBB/Stable' long-term rating and 'CRISIL A3+' short-term rating for INR 52 Cr in bank facilities. The company maintains an interest coverage ratio of 13.5 times as of FY24.

āš™ļø Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

The primary 'raw materials' are used heavy construction and mining equipment (excavators, loaders) which are refurbished, and components for the HexL brand. Specific costs are not broken down by material type but are part of the procurement for 584 units supplied in FY25.

Import Sources

Sourcing is conducted through an extensive network across India and international markets, with refurbishment centers located in India and 1 in the UAE to facilitate global staging.

Key Suppliers

The company manages a network of 220+ suppliers for equipment procurement and partners with 6 refurbishment centers in India and 1 in the UAE.

Capacity Expansion

Current capacity involves 7 refurbishment partner centers and 3 global offices. Expansion is focused on scaling the HexL brand and increasing the number of machines exported beyond the 1,500+ units supplied since 2017.

Raw Material Costs

Not explicitly disclosed as a % of revenue, but the company targets a 7-9% PAT margin range by managing procurement costs of used equipment which are 20-50% cheaper than new units.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Asset-light model allows for high scalability; the company achieved a 38-fold top-line growth over 7 years by utilizing outsourced manufacturing and partner workshops.

Logistics & Distribution

Distribution is managed through yards near major ports to reduce cycle times; 99% of sales are international, requiring high coordination with global shipping lines.

šŸ“ˆ Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

30-40%

Growth Strategy

The company aims to reach INR 800 Cr revenue in 2-3 years by scaling the proprietary HexL brand, expanding into electric construction equipment (backhoes and loaders), and increasing penetration in 30+ served countries using the INR 200 Cr equity base post-IPO.

Products & Services

Refurbished and customized excavators, backhoe loaders, graders, bulldozers, and proprietary HexL brand machinery.

Brand Portfolio

HexL

New Products/Services

Launch of electric backhoe loaders and loaders under the HexL brand to align with global emission trends (EU Stage V).

Market Expansion

Targeting increased penetration in the Americas (where used machines are 1/3 of transactions) and emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East.

Market Share & Ranking

India's largest non-OEM exporter of construction machines with a 6.9% market share according to CARE Edge.

Strategic Alliances

Arrangements with 7 designated refurbishment centers (6 in India, 1 in UAE) and outsourced manufacturing partners in China for HexL assembly.

šŸŒ External Factors

Industry Trends

The global equipment rental market is growing at >10% CAGR, increasing the circulation of high-quality used machines. There is a significant shift toward 'Circular Economy' practices and stricter emission norms (BS VI-equivalent).

Competitive Landscape

Competes with unorganized used equipment dealers and OEMs; JKIPL differentiates through organized refurbishment, after-sales support, and proprietary branding (HexL).

Competitive Moat

Durable advantages include its status as a 3-Star Export House, a 50+ year family legacy in the industry, and being the largest non-OEM exporter with a 6.9% market share, which are difficult for unorganized players to replicate.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to global infrastructure spending and interest rates; higher rates drive demand for JKIPL's cheaper refurbished equipment (20-50% price differential).

Consumer Behavior

Increasing acceptance of 'as-good-as-new' refurbished equipment over expensive new units to reduce capital expenditure for contractors.

Geopolitical Risks

Exposure to international trade barriers; mitigated by FTAs with UAE, Australia, and the UK which reduce tariffs on Indian machinery.

āš–ļø Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Compliance with DGFT 3-Star Export House standards and international safety/performance standards for refurbished machinery.

Environmental Compliance

Adapting to EU Stage V and upcoming BS VI-equivalent emission standards through the development of electric loaders.

Taxation Policy Impact

The company avails RoDTEP (Refund of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) incentives which are included in other operating income.

āš ļø Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Revenue concentration (75% from top 5 clients) and exposure to the cyclical nature of the global mining and construction sectors.

Geographic Concentration Risk

99.18% of revenue is dependent on export markets, making the company vulnerable to global trade policy shifts.

Third Party Dependencies

Heavy reliance on outsourced contract manufacturing for the HexL brand and 7 third-party refurbishment centers.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Risk of traditional diesel machines becoming obsolete; mitigated by planning for electric backhoe loaders.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Receivables management is a key rating sensitivity factor; a stretch in receivables could lead to a rating downgrade if cash accruals fall below INR 10 Cr.
