- The Consumer electrical segment surged by 23% YOY to Rs. 672.6 crore in FY22 as compared to Rs. 549 crore in FY21. These increments in the consumer electrical segment resulted from a favourable demand pattern due to the reopening of the economy. Positive customer sentiments and associated demand are visible in the export as well. Export revenue surged by 63% in Q4FY22 and 48% in FY22.
- EBITDA for FY22 at ₹ 125 crore; EBITDA margin at 12.3%
- Cash Profit during FY22 stood at ₹ 61 crore.
Mr. Gautam Seth, Joint Managing Director and CFO, said, “Despite a challenging economic environment, we are pleased to report that we registered a commendable 16% growth YoY in our revenue to cross the Rs. 1,000+ crore milestone in FY22. Our EBITDA also improved YoY by 5% to reach Rs. 125 crore in FY22.
The industry is steadily improving, and the demand for the metering segment is once again reviving, with demand coming from both the B2B and B2C quarters. Favourable government policies such as the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), coupled with Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), are helping smart meters rejuvenate. As the economy returns back to operating at pre-Covid levels, both the public and private sector industries are shifting their interest toward the smart meter. By the close of FY22, our meter order book stood at Rs. 337 Crore, giving us strong visibility for this business. The consumer electric segment has seen a good growth since past 2 years and we see that trend to continue.
Our window to the future looks encouraging. The Company is squarely focused on increasing its market share through its diversified portfolio of electrical equipment. We are optimistic that our short and long-term goals and efforts, with our dedicated research and development capability, will lead to multiple value creation opportunities.”
