RAJOOENG - Rajoo Engineers
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The company reported a consolidated revenue of INR 253.66 Cr in FY25, representing a 28.5% growth from INR 197.35 Cr in FY24. For H1 FY26, revenue from operations surged to INR 177.33 Cr, a 64.67% YoY increase from INR 107.68 Cr in H1 FY25, driven by a robust order book and full-capacity dispatches.
Geographic Revenue Split
While specific regional percentages are not fully itemized, the company noted a significant increase in the proportion of export sales, which contributed to a 480 bps improvement in PBILDT margins in FY25. Domestic sales remain a core component, supported by a 40-45% repeat customer rate.
Profitability Margins
Profitability showed strong upward momentum. Net Profit Margin improved from 9.95% in FY24 to 13.89% in FY25. In H1 FY26, the PAT margin further expanded to 15.81% compared to 11.68% in H1 FY25, an increase of 413 bps due to better operational efficiency and higher contribution margins per unit.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin (excluding other income) stood at 20.80% in H1 FY26, a massive 1,570 bps increase from 15.10% in H1 FY25. For FY25, the PBILDT margin was 18.44%, up from 13.64% in FY24, reflecting process optimization and higher capacity utilization.
Capital Expenditure
In FY25, the company invested INR 12.26 Cr in the purchase of Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible assets, slightly up from INR 11.85 Cr in FY24. This investment is aimed at expanding manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing order book.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company is rated CARE A-; Positive for long-term facilities and CARE A2+ for short-term facilities. It maintains a strong financial profile with zero debt as of March 31, 2025, and negligible utilization of working capital limits, resulting in minimal interest costs (INR 0.84 Cr in H1 FY26).
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include steel, machinery components, and electronic controllers. Raw material costs accounted for INR 167.56 Cr (66% of revenue) in FY25 and INR 105.56 Cr (59.5% of revenue) in H1 FY26.
Import Sources
The company sources high-end components globally to maintain quality standards for its extrusion lines, though specific country-wise splits are not disclosed. Local sourcing from Gujarat and Maharashtra is utilized for structural steel and standard components.
Key Suppliers
Not specifically disclosed by name, but the company manages a diverse vendor base for specialized mechanical and electronic components to mitigate dependency risks.
Capacity Expansion
The company is currently operating at full capacity to fulfill its strong order book. It has raised approximately INR 160 Cr through a QIP in July 2025 to fund future capacity expansion and strategic initiatives.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs as a percentage of revenue decreased from 77.5% in FY24 to 66% in FY25. This 11.5% reduction in relative cost is attributed to better product mix and increased sales of high-value customized machines.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Manufacturing efficiency is high, with the company reaching a level of standardization where certain machines no longer require extensive trials, allowing for faster turnaround and higher capacity utilization.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution costs are managed as part of 'Other Expenses'; the company's focus on exports necessitates robust logistics for shipping large-scale machinery globally.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
25-30%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved through a combination of organic and inorganic strategies: 1) Forward integration via the 60% acquisition of Kohli Printing And Converting Machines, 2) Utilizing INR 160 Cr QIP proceeds for capacity expansion, 3) Increasing the mix of high-value customized machines with higher ASP (Average Selling Price) of ~INR 1.5 Cr, and 4) Expanding export market penetration.
Products & Services
Plastic extrusion machinery, blown film lines, sheet extrusion lines, thermoforming machines, and printing/converting machinery (post-acquisition).
Brand Portfolio
Rajoo
New Products/Services
The company is focusing on high-end customized extrusion machines and integrated printing solutions through its new acquisition, expected to contribute significantly to the 12-15% margin target.
Market Expansion
Targeting increased export sales and forward integration into the machinery segment to provide end-to-end solutions for the packaging industry.
Market Share & Ranking
Operates in a niche machinery manufacturing segment with a strong competitive position in the Indian plastic extrusion market.
Strategic Alliances
Maintains a Joint Venture which contributed a share of profit of INR 2.82 Cr in FY25. Recently signed an NBIO for a 60% stake in Kohli Printing And Converting Machines.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The machinery segment is evolving towards higher automation and energy efficiency. Rajoo is positioning itself by moving toward standardized, high-quality machines that require less manual intervention and testing.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with both domestic manufacturers and international players in the plastic machinery space, maintaining an edge through customization and cost-effective engineering.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on 30+ years of management experience, a niche focus on plastic extrusion, and a strong repeat customer base (45%). This is sustainable due to the high switching costs and technical expertise required in machinery manufacturing.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to industrial capex cycles and plastic consumption trends; a slowdown in the packaging industry would directly impact demand for extrusion lines.
Consumer Behavior
Increased demand for sophisticated packaging is driving plastic processors to upgrade to high-end multi-layer blown film lines produced by the company.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers or shipping disruptions could impact the delivery of export orders, which are a key driver of the current margin expansion.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to industrial safety norms and pollution control regulations for manufacturing units. Export products must meet international quality and safety certifications.
Environmental Compliance
The company complies with manufacturing standards; however, specific ESG compliance costs are not disclosed.
Taxation Policy Impact
The effective tax rate for FY25 was approximately 24.5% (INR 11.47 Cr tax on INR 46.71 Cr PBT).
Legal Contingencies
As of March 31, 2025, there are no pending litigations that would impact the financial position of the parent or the joint venture.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in raw material prices (steel/electronics) and the successful integration of the Kohli acquisition are key risks that could impact margins by 2-3%.
Geographic Concentration Risk
While expanding exports, a significant portion of manufacturing is concentrated in Rajkot/Shapar, Gujarat.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on specialized component suppliers for high-end extrusion lines; however, customer advances help secure these components early.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company mitigates technology risk through continuous innovation and moving toward standardized high-end products.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Low credit risk as the company operates with high customer advances (INR 118.33 Cr), significantly covering its trade receivables and procurement needs.
