From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Ordering Environment | Ordering has picked up; expecting INR90,000 crores to INR1 lakh crores of bids in the Indian transmission market this year. |
| Finance Cost and Fundraise | The Q1 improvement in finance cost was due to working capital management, not the fundraise; post-fundraise, finance cost is expected to be 3.2% to 3.5% for the full year. |
| Export Outlook | Export order inflow is expected to see a more than 50% jump compared to last year, with strong bounce-back expected from Q2. |
| Revenue and Order Book Guidance | Company maintains 15% revenue growth guidance for FY27, expects to execute approx. INR5,000 crores from the current order book this year, and targets total order inflow of INR7,000 crores for FY27, including about INR1,100 crores from exports. |
| Margins and Commodity Prices | Margin improvement is seen as structural, driven by completion of legacy low-margin contracts and operational leverage; commodity price fluctuations are managed through a mix of firm and variable price contracts, inventory management, and hedging. |
| Capacity Expansion | The 75,000 ton capacity expansion is expected to commission by end of Q2; total capacity will reach 450,000 tons per annum, with no impact on the 15% revenue growth target. |
