Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue reached INR 186.47 Cr in FY25, representing a 41% YoY growth from INR 132.23 Cr in FY24. H1FY26 revenue surged to INR 146.86 Cr, a 68% increase over H1FY25, primarily driven by the introduction of Philips feature phones and increased market visibility post-listing. The company has maintained a 3-year revenue CAGR of approximately 51%.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents, though the company operates a manufacturing facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and serves major Indian government entities and private brands.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit (PAT) grew by 58% from INR 12.7 Cr in FY24 to INR 20.1 Cr in FY25. PAT margin improved from 9.56% to 10.75% in FY25 due to better absorption of fixed costs. H1FY26 PAT margin stood at 10.34% on a profit of INR 15.18 Cr.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin improved to 17.91% in FY25 from 16.96% in FY24. This 95 bps expansion resulted from a notable reduction in variable costs and higher profitability in the hearing aid segment. H1FY26 EBITDA margin was 16.79%.
Capital Expenditure
The company raised INR 63 Cr via IPO in September 2024 and INR 54 Cr via preferential warrants in September 2025. These funds are primarily allocated for working capital and debt reduction rather than large-scale greenfield capex, though networth is expected to reach INR 190-195 Cr by March 2026.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Crisil upgraded the outlook to 'Positive' while reaffirming 'Crisil BBB' in November 2025. Infomerics assigned 'IVR BBB+/Stable' for INR 48 Cr bank facilities. Interest coverage improved significantly from 6.6x in FY24 to 9.6x in FY25 due to reduced debt levels.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key components for LED screens (modules, controllers) and hearing aid components (microphones, receivers, amplifiers) constitute the primary raw material base. Raw material price fluctuations are cited as a key risk to the 17-18% projected operating margins.
Import Sources
The company procures a significant portion of its key raw materials from China, making it sensitive to Chinese supply chain disruptions and trade policies.
Capacity Expansion
Current installed capacity is 15,000 sq ft per annum for LED displays and 400,000 units per annum for hearing aids at the Greater Noida facility. Specific expansion figures for FY26 were not quantified, but the company is scaling through the new Philips feature phone segment.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are a major component of the total expenditure of INR 157.64 Cr in FY25. Margins are sensitive to these costs as the company often operates on tender-based pricing with limited immediate pass-through capability.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operating margins are expected to sustain at 17-18% in FY26, driven by better fixed-cost absorption as the scale of operations increases toward the INR 300 Cr revenue target.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
51%
Growth Strategy
Growth is targeted through the expansion of the LED display business into export markets, leveraging the 'Make in India' initiative. The company is also scaling its consumer electronics reach by selling Philips branded feature phones and maintaining deep relationships with government clients like Doordarshan and ISRO.
Products & Services
LED display screens (various SKUs and customized), hearing aids (listening devices), and Philips branded feature phones.
Brand Portfolio
OSEL (LEDs and Hearing Aids) and Philips (Feature phones under license/distribution).
New Products/Services
Introduction of Philips feature phones contributed significantly to the 68% revenue jump in H1FY26. The company is also exploring energy-efficient, high-resolution LED solutions for overseas markets.
Market Expansion
Targeting international markets for LED exports and expanding domestic reach through increased market visibility following the 2024 NSE Emerge listing.
Strategic Alliances
The company has a strategic arrangement for selling Philips feature phones, which has become a major revenue driver in FY26.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The LED display industry is shifting toward high-resolution, energy-efficient solutions. The hearing aid market is growing due to increased healthcare awareness and government support for medical device manufacturing in India.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition from both large multinational electronics brands and unorganized local assemblers, particularly in the LED screen market.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on established relationships with critical government agencies (ISRO, DRDO) and a diversified manufacturing setup. However, this is partially offset by the high risk of technological obsolescence in electronics.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to Indian government infrastructure spending (for LED displays) and healthcare subsidies (for hearing aids).
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward branded feature phones in rural/semi-urban segments and increasing adoption of hearing assistance devices among the aging population.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers or import restrictions on electronic components from China would directly increase input costs and disrupt the Greater Noida assembly lines.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations must comply with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for electronic goods and medical device regulations for hearing aids. Changes in import duties on electronic components significantly affect cost structures.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate is approximately 28.5% based on a provision of INR 8.26 Cr on a PBT of INR 28.96 Cr in FY25.
Legal Contingencies
The company reported no pending litigations that would materially impact its financial position as of March 31, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the working capital cycle; receivables increased to 128 days in FY25 from 73 days in FY24, which could strain liquidity if collections from government clients are delayed.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Manufacturing is concentrated in a single facility in Greater Noida, making operations vulnerable to regional disruptions.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on Chinese suppliers for critical electronic components and on the Philips brand for the new mobile segment growth.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
High risk due to rapidly evolving LED and mobile phone technologies; failure to innovate could lead to significant inventory write-downs.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Exposure to government entities provides high credit security but results in longer payment cycles (60-90 days), necessitating high working capital limits.
