From the Q&A
TopicWhat management said
Order Book & RFQ PipelineManagement explained the 10-year aerospace order book of INR5,960+ crores is for visibility and grows daily; the active RFQ pipeline of INR1,632 crores provides choice, with growth constrained by execution capacity, not demand.
Margin Outlook and SustainabilityManagement expects consolidated EBITDA margin trends to continue, driven by operating leverage; Aerospace margins were temporarily compressed by R&D expenses, which are fully written off, and aim to stabilize at ~25% long-term.
Capacity & GrowthExisting aerospace facility is expected to exceed earlier INR600 crore revenue estimates. The new Andhra facility is on track for late 2027 production, with revenue impact expected in FY28 after customer approvals.
Inorganic Growth & Warrant IssuanceThe recent warrant issuance provides flexibility for potential acquisitions in aerospace, auto components, or defence; evaluations are ongoing, but no specific deals were disclosed.
Supply Chain & CompetitionManagement stated they are less exposed to specific aerospace bottlenecks and view the market as large enough for multiple players, emphasizing execution and their first-mover advantage in a 'China Plus One' environment.
Customer Concentration & Value ChainTop 3 customers currently account for 40-45% of aerospace business, but the goal is to diversify. The strategy is to move up the value chain into more critical components and subassemblies.
Guidance
  • Aerospace business is committed to 25% growth.
  • Automotive aftermarket product line scheduled for commercial rollout in Q2 FY27.
  • Andhra Pradesh greenfield facility targeted for commercial production in late 2027.
  • Long-term EBITDA margin aims: ~25% for Aerospace, 12%-13% for Precision Manufacturing.
