The full read
Powerica delivered a record year, with profit after tax climbing 61% to ₹277 crore on revenue of ₹3,012 crore. The 13.5% top-line growth was anchored by the generator set business, which provides 83% of total revenue.
Caution is rising.
Chairman Bharat Oberoi noted that geopolitical instability and rising energy prices are already pressuring demand as of the first quarter of FY27, forcing the company to rely on its diversified portfolio to weather these supply chain and cost pressures. Management remains committed to a double-digit revenue growth target for the coming year, but whether they can hit that mark while energy costs remain elevated is the next test. For now, the record profit is a rearview-mirror event.
