      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The auto-component maker posted its best-ever year, but a 25x scaling target in railways is the higher-risk bet.</em></p>
<h3>What’s new</h3><ul><li>FY26 consolidated revenue was a record ₹2,477 cr, up 12% YoY; net profit jumped to ₹52.4 cr from ₹19.2 cr.</li><li>New orders of ₹2,500 cr won from Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, and Bosch across transmission, braking, and EV parts.</li><li>Railway revenue, at just ₹3-4 cr in FY26, is now targeting ₹100 cr after RDSO approvals and initial dispatches.</li></ul>
<h3>Why it matters</h3><p>The ₹2,500-crore order book equals a full year's sales, locking in visibility for the core auto business. The railway segment is the asymmetric bet, scaling from a near-zero base to a target that requires flawless execution from early-stage dispatches.</p>
<h3>What we’re watching</h3><ul><li>Whether FY27 revenue crosses the ₹3,000 cr management guidance.</li><li>Execution on the ₹100 cr railway target from a ₹3-4 cr base.</li><li>Final terms for the Delhi land sale after rejecting a ₹700 cr offer.</li></ul>
<h3>The full read</h3><p>Rico Auto Industries just posted its best year ever. Revenue hit <strong>₹2,477 crore</strong>, a <strong>12%</strong> year-on-year gain, and net profit more than doubled to <strong>₹52.4 crore</strong>. The core auto business has a strong backstop: new orders of <strong>₹2,500 crore</strong> from Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, and Bosch, spread over five years. That is almost exactly a full year's sales locked in. The railway business is the speculative part. It generated only <strong>₹3-4 crore</strong> in FY26, but management is targeting <strong>₹100 crore</strong> this year after winning RDSO approvals. A 25-33x jump from a standing start is a management hope, not yet a revenue line. For FY27, the company is guiding for revenue above <strong>₹3,000 crore</strong>, backed by a <strong>32% rise</strong> in exports and 40 new product launches. It is also negotiating to sell land near Delhi after rejecting a <strong>₹700 crore</strong> offer. The auto story is solid. The railway story is the optionality, and it's unproven.</p>

      <title>Rico Auto guides for ₹3,000 cr FY25 revenue after record ₹2,477 cr in FY24</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The auto-components maker expects 25% topline growth, a margin recovery above 10.25%, and a massive ramp-up in its new railway business.</em></p>
<h3>What’s new</h3><ul><li>FY24 revenue hit a record ₹2,477 cr, up 12% year-on-year, with net profit rising to ₹52.4 cr from ₹19.2 cr.</li><li>Management guided for FY25 revenue above ₹3,000 cr, implying 25% growth, and EBITDA margins to recover past 10.25%.</li><li>The railway segment, which contributed just ₹3-4 cr in FY24, is targeting ₹100 cr in FY25 after receiving regulatory approvals.</li></ul>
<h3>Why it matters</h3><p>Rico is pivoting from a slow-growth auto-components vendor to a business with a clear railway pipeline and an aggressive topline target. The ₹100 cr railway target is a 25x step-up from FY24, though from a tiny base. Delivering 25% revenue growth in a cyclical auto industry will hinge on execution of the new order book and export plans.</p>
<h3>What we’re watching</h3><ul><li>Whether the railway ramp-up to ₹100 cr in FY25 hits its first milestones.</li><li>Margin recovery to above 10.25% — FY24 margins were 9% after one-offs.</li><li>Export growth in the US and Germany, which are expected to double over two years.</li></ul>
<h3>The full read</h3><p>Rico Auto Industries posted its highest-ever annual revenue of <strong>₹2,477 crore</strong> in FY24, a <strong>12%</strong> increase. Net profit more than doubled to <strong>₹52.4 crore</strong> from <strong>₹19.2 crore</strong>. The bigger story is the forward guidance: management is guiding for FY25 revenue above <strong>₹3,000 crore</strong>, a <strong>25%</strong> jump, underpinned by new orders worth <strong>₹2,500 crore</strong> over five years. The most dramatic pivot is in railways. The segment contributed a mere <strong>₹3-4 crore</strong> last year but is now targeting <strong>₹100 crore</strong> in FY25 after regulatory approvals. That's a 25x step-up. Exports are also in focus, with a <strong>32%</strong> growth target for FY25 and plans to double the US and Germany businesses over two years. The margin path is key. FY24 EBITDA margins sat at <strong>9%</strong> after one-offs, and management expects to recover to above <strong>10.25%</strong> as the higher volumes flow through.</p>
