- Pennar Industries expects sustained double-digit revenue growth driven by five key high-margin verticals: pre-engineered buildings (PEB) in India and the U.S., hydraulics, process equipment, boilers, and engineering services. - The U.S. PEB business is projected to grow substantially, potentially multi-fold, with revenues rising beyond the current ~US$80 million, supported by increased order books and expanded capacity. - In India, the PEB order book is growing rapidly, currently around ₹550 crores, projecting higher by March 2024. - Exit from low-margin businesses (water EPC, solar EPC, retail) with revenues of ₹150-200 crores per quarter is expected within 2-4 quarters, replaced by higher-margin businesses. - Overall revenue growth for the near term is moderate (5-15%) due to the exit of low-margin revenue streams but is expected to accelerate as new business verticals scale. - Long-term, the company targets doubling revenues by focusing on core verticals with strong market potential and expanding capacity.
