1. HSS drill and spring-washer capacity already installed - FY26 installations (an Aus tempering furnace, automated continuous furnace, and CNC machines) added 90 MT of spring-washer capacity and roughly 350,000 units of HSS drill capacity. These lines are already in place, so the incremental volume flows straight into revenue without further capex lead time.
2. High Performance Tools and Taps ramp-up - New flute grinding machines with robotic integration were installed for HPT, and substantial investments were made in the Taps segment, where management expects a high rate of growth. Both segments are adding export customers and upgraded geometries, suggesting the capacity is filling with confirmed demand rather than speculative build.
3. Debt-funded capex programme nearing completion - A ₹29.47 cr capex programme (₹17 cr term debt tied up by December 2024, balance from internal accruals) is in the stabilisation and scaling-up phase. With debt already arranged and machines installed, the project moves from cash-out to cash-in, lifting EBITDA while the balance sheet carries only modest leverage (D/E 0.10).
4. Aerospace certification opens a regulated end-market - The company obtained AS 9100 D certification, the mandatory standard for aviation, space, and defence supply chains, and developed machining solutions for titanium and high-performance alloys. Certification converts the Make-in-India defence and aerospace opportunity from a pipeline into an addressable order book.
5. Export presence restored in the Far East and GCC - Business was regained in Far East and GCC countries during the year, restoring a presence in those markets. These are large, price-sensitive geographies where re-entry typically follows requalification, so the regained base can scale with repeat orders.
6. SAP S/4HANA and HRMS go live - SAP S/4HANA implementation was advanced and an integrated HRMS went live in April 2026. For a ₹251 cr revenue company, a modern ERP removes a silent drag on working capital and order-cycle time that manual or legacy systems impose.
