SHUBHSHREE - Shubhshree
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The company operates in a single reportable segment: manufacturing and trading of biomass fuels. Operating revenue in FY 2024-25 grew by 72.77% compared to FY 2023-24 and 177.50% compared to FY 2022-23. For H1 FY26, revenue reached INR 9,604.6 Lakhs, representing a 24.1% YoY growth from INR 7,736.4 Lakhs.
Geographic Revenue Split
Revenue is heavily concentrated in Northern India: Rajasthan (50.7%), Punjab (20.9%), Haryana (18.9%), Others (3.8%), Uttar Pradesh (2.9%), and Madhya Pradesh (2.8%).
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin improved from 3.51% in FY 2023-24 to 4.98% in FY 2024-25, a 41.9% increase. However, H1 FY26 PAT margin stood at 4.4%, slightly lower than the FY25 annual average due to seasonal headwinds and strategic investments.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for H1 FY26 was 6.3%, with EBITDA increasing 20.9% YoY to INR 601.7 Lakhs. The operating margin in FY 2024-25 was 6.7%, showing relative stability despite rapid scaling.
Capital Expenditure
The company is executing a strategic expansion to increase capacity to 1,000 MT/day through five new plants. While specific INR expenditure for these plants is not disclosed, the company has already expanded manufacturing capacity threefold to capitalize on the 20% biofuel blending mandate.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company maintains a low Debt-to-Equity ratio of 0.3. New bank facilities were recently secured to support working capital for ongoing projects, which contributed to elevated finance costs in H1 FY26.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Agricultural waste (recycled into clean energy) is the primary raw material, used to produce biomass briquettes and pellets. Specific cost percentages per material type are not disclosed.
Import Sources
Sourcing is primarily domestic and localized to Northern India (Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana) to minimize logistics costs and improve margins by placing plants closer to raw material sources.
Key Suppliers
Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company engages with over 5,000 employed farmers for biomass collection.
Capacity Expansion
Current supply capacity is 1,000+ tonnes per day. Planned expansion involves five new plants to solidify this 1,000 MT/day capacity and support India's 20% biofuel blending mandate.
Raw Material Costs
Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue, but the company utilizes a structured integrated supply chain to manage costs in a fragmented market.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Manufacturing capacity has expanded threefold. The company has supplied over 3,00,000 tonnes of briquettes and pellets to date.
Logistics & Distribution
The company focuses on regional presence in Northern India to optimize distribution, though specific cost percentages are not disclosed.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
50%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by doubling the topline over the next two years through five new manufacturing plants, a 34% stake investment in Biosteam LLP, and securing long-term offtake deals with industrial clients.
Products & Services
Biomass briquettes and biomass pellets used as solid bioenergy fuel.
Brand Portfolio
Shubhshree Biofuels Energy.
New Products/Services
Expansion into new geographies and the incorporation of Biosteam LLP are expected to drive future revenue, though specific contribution percentages are not disclosed.
Market Expansion
Targeting deeper industrial adoption and expansion beyond the current 1,500+ client base by leveraging the shift toward clean energy.
Market Share & Ranking
The company identifies as India's only listed company exclusively focused on solid bioenergy, positioning it as a first-mover in a fragmented market.
Strategic Alliances
Acquiring a 34% stake in Biosteam LLP (proposed LLP) to expand operational footprint.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is evolving from a fragmented, unorganized sector to a structured one, driven by MNRE capital subsidies and the national mandate for 20% biofuel blending.
Competitive Landscape
Market is dominated by unorganized, small-scale players with limited scalability; Shubhshree competes through structured operations and technology.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on being a 'first-mover' as a listed entity, having an integrated supply chain, and established relationships with 5,000+ farmers, which are difficult for small-scale players to replicate.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to government environmental policies and the 20% biofuel blending mandate which drives industrial demand.
Consumer Behavior
Industrial consumers are shifting toward sustainable fuels due to regulatory pressure and long-term cost benefits of biomass over conventional fuels.
Geopolitical Risks
Not disclosed as a primary factor due to the localized nature of biomass sourcing.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are influenced by India's 20% biofuel blending mandate and MNRE financial incentives for plants addressing stubble burning.
Environmental Compliance
The company benefits from MNRE capital subsidies for pellet units and electricity duty exemptions, which are contingent on maintaining green energy standards.
Taxation Policy Impact
Not disclosed as a specific percentage.
Legal Contingencies
The auditor reported no material misstatements or instances of audit trail tampering for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Market acceptance of biomass vs conventional fuels and the stabilization of new manufacturing operations are key risks that may impact near-term profitability.
Geographic Concentration Risk
90.5% of revenue is concentrated in three states: Rajasthan (50.7%), Punjab (20.9%), and Haryana (18.9%).
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on 5,000+ farmers for raw material collection; any labor or agricultural disruption in Northern India would halt production.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company mitigates this by using imported high-efficiency pressing units to ensure product quality meets global standards.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables quality is a focus area as the Debtors' Turnover ratio slowed by 41.83% YoY in FY25.
