The full read
Happy Forgings closed its fiscal year with record annual profitability, but the focus is shifting toward structural changes. Management is actively working to reduce the company's reliance on the commercial vehicle sector, targeting a revenue concentration of 27%.
To fill the gap, the firm is pivoting toward high-precision heavy forgings for data centers, supported by a ₹950 crore new business order book. Looking ahead, the company plans to scale its total capacity to 187,000 tons by FY28.
