The full read
Indo SMC enters the fiscal year with revenue targets of ₹450-500 crore. After closing FY24 with 15% EBITDA margins, up from 11% in the second half of the previous year, management is moving into higher-margin equipment like meter cubicles and current transformers. The order pipeline provides a base, with the company adding ₹125 crore in new contracts over April and May to its year-end book of ₹237 crore. The next step is entry into the railway sector. Indo SMC expects a decision on Vande Bharat component approvals by late June. If cleared, this provides the platform for their goal of reaching ₹1,000 crore in annual revenue by FY28. The guidance is specific. The reliance on a single major railway contract makes the next month a deciding moment for the company's growth plan.
