- Order inflows surged 218% to ₹2,114 crore, pushing order book to record ₹6,630 crore.
- Q1 revenue rose 8% to ₹572.34 crore but PAT fell to ₹64.34 crore from ₹67.46 crore.
- MD Satyen Mamtora said Changodar expansion temporarily moderated revenue; ₹150 cr capex there, plus ₹900-1,000 cr for backward integration with three greenfield facilities.
Why this matters
The record order book provides exceptional forward visibility at nearly 11 times quarterly revenue. The slight profit dip is a short-term cost of capacity expansion; the heavy investment in backward integration signals management's bet on sustained demand. The next few quarters will test management's ability to deliver on both capacity and margins.

The full read
Transformers & Rectifiers reported a record order book of ₹6,630 crore after order inflows surged 218% to ₹2,114 crore in Q1 FY27. Revenue grew 8% to ₹572.34 crore, but profit after tax slipped to ₹64.34 crore from ₹67.46 crore a year ago. Profit dipped, but the order book is the story. The EBITDA margin of 19.16% reflects the temporary impact of the Changodar facility expansion, where the company is investing ₹150 crore. Management is betting big on the transmission upcycle: it plans to spend ₹900–1,000 crore on backward integration across three new greenfield facilities at Chiyada. The record order book, roughly 11 times quarterly revenue, provides exceptional visibility. But the heavy capex and modest profit dip mean the next few quarters will test management's ability to deliver on both capacity and margins. The stock trades at a P/E of 38x trailing earnings, pricing in the growth story. The open question is whether management can execute the expansion without margin erosion.
