capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Atlanta Electricals is planning a backward integration capex, currently in the planning stage, with an intention to start by Q1 of the next fiscal year (Page 17). - The backward integration aims to insource radiators and tank components, potentially leading to cost savings (Page 17). - Construction for unit six, which focuses on inverter duty transformers (IDT), has recently started, and once operational, will enable opening floodgates for incremental IDT orders (Page 17). - Unit 5, capable of manufacturing 765 kV class transformers with 15,000 MVA capacity and provisions for expansion to 45,000 MVA, is operational and ramping up (Page 14). - The company has prudently delayed larger 400 kV class orders until successful prototype execution, signaling a strategic and phased capital deployment on product development (Page 13).

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Atlanta Electricals aims to sustain a robust growth rate of approximately 40% year-on-year in revenue, maintaining this trajectory into FY 2027 and beyond. - The company targets a quarterly order intake in the range of INR 600 to 700 crores to keep existing units operational. - Volume-wise, the company produced around 13,500 MVA in nine months, with plans to further ramp up capacity, especially in higher kV segments (400 kV and 765 kV). - Expansion into higher kV classes is expected to drive revenue growth and margin improvement. - New facilities like the 15,000 MVA capable unit 5 (for 765 kV transformers) are starting to contribute to sales. - Order pipelines, especially for inverter duty transformers and renewables, support sustained growth. - The company does not anticipate pricing or margin pressures despite capacity additions in the industry.
