Rulka cuts debt 45%, now chasing ₹50-70 cr projects
FY26 revenue rose 38% to ₹110 cr and net profit jumped 46% to ₹3.29 cr. The ₹90 cr capital raise is to fund the pivot to bigger jobs.
What's new
- FY26 revenue rose 38.2% to ₹110 cr; net profit jumped 45.8% to ₹3.29 cr.
- Order book strengthened to ₹144 cr; total debt slashed 45% to ₹4.80 cr.
- Plans a ₹90 cr capital raise to fund a pivot to large-ticket projects of ₹50-70 cr each.
Why this matters
Rulka is no longer a small civil-work contractor. The ₹144 cr order book is larger than last year's revenue, and the company is raising ₹90 cr to chase even bigger jobs. The shift to EHV transmission, solar EPC, and airport MEP work explains the margin improvement and sets up a sharper growth trajectory.
What we're watching
- Execution on the new Maharashtra Transco and airport MEP orders.
- Progress of the ₹90 cr capital raise and its terms.
- Whether large-ticket wins keep landing to backfill the ₹1,000 cr revenue ambition.
The full read
Rulka Electricals is trying to outgrow itself. FY26 revenue rose 38.2% to ₹110 cr and net profit jumped 45.8% to ₹3.29 cr on the back of 36 projects, but the real story is what comes next. The company is raising ₹90 cr to chase projects of ₹50-70 cr each, up from jobs that were a fraction of that size. The order book stands at ₹144 cr and management is betting on EHV transmission, solar EPC, and airport infrastructure to get to ₹1,000 cr revenue. Early wins at Maharashtra Transco and Mumbai and Lucknow airports give that ambition some proof of concept. Meanwhile, debt fell 45% to ₹4.80 cr, leaving the balance sheet clean enough to support the raise. The margin improvement, driven by a deliberate exit from low-margin civil work, suggests the pivot is already lifting profitability.
Questions answered
- How did Rulka achieve the profit jump in FY26?
- Management attributed the 45.8% rise in net profit to ₹3.29 cr to executing 36 projects and deliberately shifting away from low-margin civil work. That mix shift lifted profitability even as revenue grew 38.2% to ₹110 cr.
- What does the ₹90 cr capital raise fund?
- The raise backs a strategic pivot toward large-ticket projects of ₹50-70 cr each. It follows an early win at Maharashtra Transco and turnkey MEP work at Mumbai and Lucknow airports, which are the first jobs in the new verticals.
- How much debt does the company carry now?
- Total debt fell 45% to just ₹4.80 cr, leaving Rulka nearly debt-free. The low leverage gives it room to raise the ₹90 cr without overburdening the balance sheet.
- What are the new business verticals?
- Rulka is entering EHV transmission, solar EPC, and airport infrastructure. These are the large-ticket segments management believes can eventually push revenue past ₹1,000 cr.
