Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue for Q2 FY26 reached INR 506.2 Cr, a marginal growth of 1.0% YoY. H1 FY26 revenue stood at INR 964.4 Cr, up 9.9% YoY. The Product and Aftermarket segments are seeing growth both domestically and internationally, with record order bookings of INR 652 Cr in Q2 FY26, up 14% YoY.
Geographic Revenue Split
Domestic sales accounted for INR 224 Cr in Q2 FY26, representing approximately 44% of total revenue but declining 20% YoY. Export sales contribute the remaining 56% and are a primary driver of the favorable revenue mix and higher margins.
Profitability Margins
EBITDA margin for Q2 FY26 was 26.3% (up from 26.1% YoY). PAT margin stood at 18.1% for Q2 FY26. H1 FY26 PAT margin was 17.8%, with a net profit of INR 155.8 Cr.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin improved by 60bps YoY to 26.1% in H1 FY26. Core profitability remains resilient due to a higher share of export and aftermarket revenues, which offset lower-margin domestic projects.
Capital Expenditure
The company maintains a debt-free capital structure with no major debt-funded capital expenditure planned. Growth is supported by strong internal accruals and a cash/investment balance of INR 883 Cr as of March 31, 2024.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company holds an [ICRA] AA+ (Stable) long-term rating and an [ICRA] A1+ short-term rating. It remains debt-free, resulting in negligible borrowing costs and high financial flexibility.

Logistics & Distribution
Not specifically disclosed as a percentage of revenue.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
14%
Growth Strategy
Growth is driven by a record order book of INR 652 Cr, expansion into international markets, and the introduction of new technologies such as CO2 turbines and heat pumps. The settlement of the GE joint venture dispute allows the company to focus on the high-margin 30-100 MW turbine segment.
Products & Services
Industrial steam turbines (up to 100 MW), CO2 turbines, heat pumps, energy storage solutions, and aftermarket services (spare parts and maintenance).
Brand Portfolio
Triveni Turbines, Triveni Energy Solutions Limited (TESL).
New Products/Services
New products include CO2 turbines and heat pumps aimed at the renewable energy and energy efficiency markets; these are gaining traction and provide a runway for stable future revenue.
Market Expansion
Targeting global markets for steam turbines and expanding the aftermarket business internationally to capitalize on the installed base.
Market Share & Ranking
Maintains a strong market position in the industrial steam turbine segment, particularly in the sub-100 MW category.
Strategic Alliances
Settled a long-standing dispute with JV partners regarding Triveni Energy Solutions Limited (TESL). Subsidiary Triveni Turbines DMCC recently entered into a Share Purchase Agreement for further expansion.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward renewable energy and energy efficiency. Triveni is positioning itself by developing turbines for the thermal renewable segment and high-efficiency heat pumps.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition in the global turbine market, but the resolution of the GE dispute strengthens its competitive positioning in larger turbine segments.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on a debt-free balance sheet, a negative working capital cycle driven by customer advances, and specialized engineering capabilities in the 30-100 MW turbine range.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to industrial capex cycles in sectors like sugar, steel, and cement. Global economic health impacts the 56% export revenue share.
Consumer Behavior
Industrial customers are increasingly demanding energy-efficient and green-energy-aligned power solutions, driving demand for the company's new R&D-led products.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers or geopolitical instability in key export regions could disrupt the growth of the international business segment.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Adheres to Secretarial Standards and manufacturing standards for power generation equipment; operations are subject to pollution control norms and export-import regulations.
Environmental Compliance
The company complies with BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report) mandates and focuses on products that support the global quest for a greener environment.
Taxation Policy Impact
The effective tax rate is approximately 28.3% based on Q2 FY26 figures (INR 36.1 Cr tax on INR 127.5 Cr PBT).
Legal Contingencies
Successfully settled the dispute regarding Triveni Energy Solutions Limited (TESL) with former JV partners, removing a significant hurdle for growth in the 30-100 MW segment.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Execution risk in H2 FY26 to catch up on deferred revenue; sensitivity to the cyclical nature of end-user industry capex.
Geographic Concentration Risk
44% of revenue is concentrated in the Indian domestic market, which currently shows lower margins and declining growth (-20% in Q2).
Third Party Dependencies
Significant reliance on the capacity and coordination of third-party vendors and subcontractors for manufacturing components.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of shifting energy technologies is mitigated by active R&D in CO2 turbines and energy storage solutions.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Low credit risk as working capital is largely funded by customer advances, ensuring high receivables quality.
