6-6.5% New annual capex guidance as a percentage of manufacturing revenue.

What's new

  • Capex guidance shifted from a fixed ₹8,000 crore to 6-6.5% of manufacturing revenue.
  • Two-wheeler OEM wins include a ₹90 crore contract and a ₹220 crore Japanese OEM order.
  • Management expects the ₹94.7 crore one-time loss at SDM France to reverse this fiscal year.

Why this matters

Linking capex to revenue rather than an absolute figure provides better visibility into how the company scales investment during growth cycles. The reversal of the aerospace subsidiary loss is a critical component of the company's path to margin recovery.

What we're watching

  • Execution of the new two-wheeler OEM contracts.
  • Progress on the QIP approval process.
  • Whether the aerospace subsidiary hits its turnaround target.

The full read

Belrise Industries is moving to a variable capex model. Management now ties investment to 6-6.5% of manufacturing revenue, abandoning the previous ₹8,000 crore absolute target. This shift suggests a more disciplined approach to capital allocation as the company scales. The order book is also expanding, with two major two-wheeler OEM wins: a ₹90 crore contract from a domestic player and a ₹220 crore order from a Japanese OEM. These wins provide a clear revenue tailwind. Meanwhile, the company is working to clean up its balance sheet, specifically targeting a reversal of the ₹94.7 crore one-time loss at its aerospace subsidiary, SDM France. With QIP approval also on the table, the company is positioning itself for a period of expansion. The next test is whether the aerospace turnaround materializes as promised.
