🏗️capex
Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?
- The company plans a capital investment of ₹500-600 crores over the next 4-5 years to shift operations from the current city campus to a new larger facility.
- This new facility will improve efficiencies by consolidating operations currently spread across four factories, reducing costs in logistics, security, housekeeping, and canteen.
- The new campus will serve as a staging area to scale business before moving fully to the main campus.
- Capex includes support for new products like centrifugal compressors, but large buildings won't be constructed for very small new products.
- The company is investing 1-1.5% of top line into initiatives covering go-to-market strategy, digital transformation, finance transformation, and setting up shared services to lower costs outside India.
- Cost reduction benefits, especially from US tariff cuts and efficient motors, are expected to partially offset increased investment costs from Q2 FY27 onwards.
- Inorganic growth via acquisitions is minimal, limited to opportunities in product expansion and customer access.
📊revenue
Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?
- **Outside India growth:** Scaled down from earlier 13% to around 10% due to suboptimal past strategies and challenges in getting in front of customers globally; currently discovering new strategies for better growth.
- **India growth:** Expected at 4% equipment market growth, but ELGI aims for 12% overall growth fueled by a large installed base and aftermarket sales.
- **Market share:** Gaining market share in India, Europe, and the US, but not reaching 4% and 12% growth exclusively in equipment; aftermarket drives significant growth.
- **Aftermarket contribution:** Expected to increase, with aftermarket margins potentially six times higher than equipment margins.
- **US and Europe:** Growth strategies focused on increasing distributor penetration and customer access; US growth at 10-11% is plateauing under current strategy.
- **Capex:** INR 500–600 crores planned for campus relocation over 4-5 years; annual capex for incremental growth within depreciation levels.
