Sharan Bansal, Director, said: “We are thrilled to report an exceptional start to the financial year, with our highest-ever first-quarter revenue and profitability a clear validationof the strategic roadmap we’ve laid out. With a 15% YoY topline growth, the momentum across our core segments remains strong andbacked by solid execution across businesses. We are especially encouraged by the unprecedented momentum in the Power Transmission & Distribution (T&D;) sector, which has emerged as apowerful multi-decade growth opportunity both in India and globally. The accelerating energy transition, massive grid modernization, and risinginvestments in renewables and cross-border interconnections are driving a structural upswing in T&D; capex across key markets. Our business isperfectly aligned to capitalize on this shift. This quarter, we secured Rs 9,775 million in fresh orders, including marquee wins from PGCIL and international customers, and our order book nowstands at an all-time high level of Rs 85,205 million, providing long-term visibility and execution strength. With a bidding pipeline exceeding Rs 300,000 million,we are participating in a wide range of high-value tenders across domestic, Middle East, LATAM, Asia Pacific, North America andAfrican markets many of which are significantly larger in size and more complex in scope than ever before. We see this as a transformationalperiod for the company, where scale, cost leadership, and trust will define the winners—and we are exceptionally well-positioned on all threefronts. Our 75,000 MTPA new capacity is now fully installed and commercially operational. This is a strategic enabler that now allows us to target fasttrack export orders and short-cycle demand, segments where we faced constraints last year. In addition, we have embarked on another 75,000MTPA capacity expansion, with a bold vision to become the world’s largest transmission tower manufacturer with 600,000 MTPA capacity by FY28.On the financial front, our bottom-line saw a 41 % YoY growth, supported by improving EBITDA margins, stronger working capitalefficiency, and disciplined control over finance costs. This performance reaffirms our ability to grow profitably even as we scale rapidly. We believe we are entering a golden era for power infrastructure, and our company stands at the forefront of this opportunity—leveraging itsscale, credibility, and cost advantage to lead in both traditional and new-age markets. With a record order book, growing execution muscle, andan unmatched manufacturing footprint, we are confident of delivering another landmark year of performance and creating sustained value forour investors” Result PDF
