margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- The company expects to achieve a turnover of approximately INR2,060 crores in FY27, projecting 20% growth over FY26's higher base (~INR1,900 crores). - For FY27-FY28, the target is maintained at INR2,500 crores in revenue with capacity expansions to support growth. - Margin improvement is expected to be constrained; margins are likely to remain stable around 9% due to rapid capacity expansion and associated costs. - Operational leverage benefits may be partially offset by increased expenses in expanding engineering, sales, project management, and export initiatives. - The company targets EPS growth driven by volume growth rather than realization gains, as prices are competitive with limited room for margin expansion. - Continued focus on productivity, internal efficiencies, and entering new sectors (heavy structure, exports) supports future earnings growth. - Overall, earnings growth is expected to be healthy with stable margins and higher capacity utilization.
