PEB India

- Labor issues fully resolved; recently declined a ₹150 Cr order on product mix grounds
- Double-digit revenue growth expected this year
PEB US

- Order backlog up ~20% in the last three months
- Currently serving only South/Midwest — East and West Coast remain untapped
Engineering Services
- Outperformed in Q4; billing is entirely project-outcome based (not man-hours), so AI adoption improves margins

Boilers

Margin trajectory
PAT margins have compounded from ~2% to 3.83% over four years, driven by mix shift toward PEB US, Engineering Services, and Boilers. ~30-35% of revenue is still legacy (low-growth, no fresh capital deployment); the remaining 65-70% is growing faster. Management guided for continued gradual improvement — no commitment to a big jump in FY27.
FY27 guidance
- PAT growth of 20% — firm management commitment
- Capex: ~₹100 Cr (BIW Hyundai plant + automation)
- Finance cost: below 4% of revenue
- Debt-to-equity: target 0.8x by year-end
