💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total revenue grew by 56.9% YoY, reaching INR 894.50 Cr in FY25 compared to INR 569.99 Cr in FY24. This growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of Uttaranchal Industries (UTI) and volume growth in the fans segment. However, revenue is expected to decline by 15-20% in FY26 due to an early monsoon impacting seasonal demand.

Geographic Revenue Split

Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company operates manufacturing plants in Roorkee, Hyderabad, and Haridwar to serve its distribution network.

Profitability Margins

Net Profit Margin improved to 2.12% in FY25 from 1.78% in FY24. Operating Profit Margin increased to 3.58% in FY25 from 3.30% in FY24, driven by administrative cost efficiencies and higher production scales.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin stood at 4.38% in FY25 (INR 39.19 Cr), up from 4.33% in FY24 (INR 24.66 Cr). The margin is expected to remain stable between 4.0-4.5% in the near term as the company balances volume growth with intense price competition.

Capital Expenditure

The company has no major debt-funded capital expenditure plans for the immediate future, focusing instead on accretion to reserves which grew net worth to INR 83 Cr in FY25.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

The company maintains a healthy financial risk profile with an interest coverage ratio of 4.73x in FY25. Borrowing costs are reflected in a finance cost of INR 6.78 Cr for FY25, a 56.4% increase YoY following the UTI acquisition.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Not specifically named in documents, though 'raw materials' accounted for INR 278.11 Cr in Q4 FY25 alone.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity enhancement is planned to drive a 5-6% medium-term revenue increase, though specific unit expansions are not quantified. Current operations are spread across plants in Roorkee, Hyderabad, and Haridwar.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are a significant component of the cost structure, with management citing price volatility as a key risk to sustaining the 4.0-4.5% operating margin.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Inventory turnover ratio improved by 27.29% to 12.78 in FY25 (from 10.04 in FY24), reflecting higher production efficiency and reduced inventory levels.

Logistics & Distribution

The company utilizes a diversified distribution network and robust supply chain to mitigate logistics risks and maintain service excellence.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward energy-efficient products like BLDC fans. The government's 'Make in India' initiative and focus on domestic manufacturing excellence are key positive drivers.

Competitive Landscape

Intense competition from several large players has led to significant price competition, adversely affecting overall industry profitability.

The moat is built on the promoters' 40+ years of industry experience and established OEM relationships with reputable clients. This provides a steady stream of repeat orders, though it is challenged by intense price competition.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to weather patterns (monsoon) and disposable income levels. Rising disposable incomes are expected to support long-term growth in the electrical consumer durables sector.

Consumer Behavior

Evolving customer requirements are driving demand for premium, innovative, and energy-efficient electrical products.

Geopolitical Risks

Geopolitical tensions are noted as a potential cause for supply chain and logistics disruptions.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations must adhere to varying regulatory standards and certifications across different markets, which increases operational complexity.

Environmental Compliance

Stricter environmental regulations are noted as a factor that may require additional investments in sustainable technologies.

Taxation Policy Impact

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Seasonality is a major uncertainty; an early monsoon can reduce annual revenue by 15-20%. Raw material price volatility poses a risk to the company's thin profit margins.
