The full read
Transrail Lighting ended FY26 with ₹6,880 crore in revenue, a 30% increase that confirms the company is successfully scaling its power transmission and distribution business. Profitability followed suit, with operating profit after tax reaching ₹421 crore, up 28%.
Growth is accelerating.
The most telling metric is the ₹16,361 crore unexecuted order book, which grew 12% and provides multi-year revenue visibility. Perhaps more important than the headline growth is the efficiency of these operations, as operating cash flows nearly doubled to ₹817 crore because management finally tightened the working capital cycle. With a new ₹203 crore capex plan approved to expand capacity, the company is betting that its current execution momentum will persist, while the board's decision to declare a dividend of ₹2 per share signals clear confidence in the firm's current cash position.
