Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Expect growth of 18% to 20% for Industrial Switchgear business in the current financial year, though slightly toned down by 4-5% from earlier estimates due to temporary slowdown.
  • Wire Harness business targeted to grow from around INR70 crores last year to INR100+ crores this year, with capacity utilization around 70%.
  • Export share expected to increase from ~26% last year to around 30% by year-end, driven by new product additions and growth in US, Europe, Middle East, and Africa markets.
  • Contactors segment potential remains strong with expectations to reach $2-2.5 million revenue this year and likely double or triple by FY '25, aiming for $20 million in next 2 years.
  • EV charger business launch expected in Q4 FY '24 with capacity to produce 70-100 chargers per month and anticipated investment of INR4-5 crores.

Fundraise plans

  • There is no explicit mention of any current or planned new fundraising through equity or debt in the call transcript.

  • Discussions are ongoing for partnerships and tie-ups in the EV charging segment, which may involve joint investments.
  • Short-term borrowings have increased recently by about INR 15 crores, mainly due to higher receivables and working capital needs.

Capex plans

Yes
  • Salzer is planning a capital investment of INR 4-5 crores over the next two to three quarters for expanding EV charging station capacity through a joint venture.
  • Current EV charger production capacity is about 70-100 chargers per month, but additional capex is needed to scale.
  • Wire harness capacity expansion at Hosur plant is dynamic; the new plant is operating at 30-40% utilization with an overall 70% utilization. No significant capex is required here.
  • For fast chargers, the company is currently focusing on market development before considering joint ventures or third-party supply expansions; it's too early to invest heavily in this segment.
  • Overall, investments are targeted at EV charging infrastructure and selective capacity expansion aligned with market opportunities.
