Wheels India Ltd

- Wheels India has planned a capex of INR 250 crores for the current year, with INR 108 crores already spent. - The capex is expected to be completed by March 2026, with commissioning likely in H2 of the next year. - Significant portions of the capex target industrial segments, especially windmill machining and fabricated parts for offshore windmills in Europe (about 40% of the capex). - Part of the investment (~INR 90 crores) is conversion business with roughly 1:1 asset turnover ratio and healthy margins. - Additional capex of approximately INR 100 crores is being invested specifically in machining capacity, with machines arriving from November to January, expected to boost production. - The company aims to maintain debt levels around INR 700+ crores, funding capex largely through internal accruals. - Target growth from capex is an 8%-10% increase over the next 2-3 years, aiming for improved margins and scaling revenues toward INR 5,000 crores.

- The company expects reasonably strong export demand, targeting 8-10% growth driven by both domestic and export markets. - Growth in exports depends on the global economic situation but remains positive unless conditions worsen. - Domestic segments like tractor wheels and hydraulic cylinders are expected to grow, especially post-monsoon. - Capex of INR 250 crores (to be completed by March 2026) will enable increased volumes, particularly in cast aluminum wheels and windmill components. - Wind energy business growth is anticipated in the next two quarters. - The company anticipates growth in air suspension systems, especially supplying e-bus manufacturers. - Top-line growth was 8.63% in the first half; further growth is expected in H2, though not at 20% levels. - Overall, growth around 8-10% is expected in the near term with opportunities in domestic and export markets.
