MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“We are happy to share with you our robust business and financial performance for Q2 and H1 FY24. Our revenue from operations increased by 6.42% from Rs. 2,587.33 Mn in Q2 FY23 to Rs. 2,753.53 Mn in Q2 FY24. Our EBITDA margins increased by 93 bps from 8.12% in Q2 FY23 to 9.05% in Q2 FY24 and PAT margins improved by 39 bps in Q2 FY24 to 3.29%.
In this quarter, we added a significant project in our order book reflecting our growing presence in the infrastructure and engineering sector. We secured a monumental EPC contract from Energy Development Corporation Limited valued at USD 9.40 Mn (Rs. 752.38 Mn). Our scope of work includes providing end-to-end EPC solution including designing, supplying, and installation of a 110kv transmission line in the African region of Rwinkwavu-Kirehe, Gabiro-Nyagatare, and Rulindo-Gicumb. The 110kV transmission line project is a specialized endeavour that demands a deep understanding of power transmission, engineering, and project management. Winning this order is a testament to our engineering prowess and our ability to execute complex projects on a global scale. It not only opens up new avenues for growth but also enhances our reputation as a trusted partner in the international market. This project bolstered our order book to Rs. 14,400 Mn as at 30th September 2023.
Moreover, in line with our commitment to expand our manufacturing capabilities and to meet the growing demand of our products, we are thrilled to announce the commencement of operations of our new zinc galvanization plant in Uttar Pradesh. This state-of-the-art facility boasts of latest and most advanced galvanization technology having an impressive annual production capacity of 96,000 MT. The facility is geared to manufacture high quality galvanized products such as transmission line monopoles of up to 3 meter diameter in size, up from current capacity to produce 1.6 meter diameter monopoles. These higher meter diameter poles will be used in high KVA transmission lines offering us better revenue prospects. Moreover, this expansion enables us to manufacture large sized structures in sectors such as infrastructure, construction, automotive, and more. This strategic investment not only enhances our production capacity but also positions us as a prominent player in providing high-quality galvanized products to meet the ever evolving needs of our customers.
As we look to the future, we anticipate that our strong performance will remain resilient, underpinned by robust demand and the exceptional performance exhibited in the nation. On the energy front, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) initially projected a peak power demand of 230 GW for the 2023-24 period however, the actual demand surged to an unprecedented 240 GW, prompting an upward revision for the next year, now estimated at 256.6 GW. This surge in power demand will drive the need for infrastructure development, generating significant demand for our products and giving us good revenue visibility for us.
In the telecommunications industry, we are currently witnessing a pivotal moment marked by significant potential, driven by the deployment of 5G technology and the government's increasing commitment to bolster the nationwide 4G infrastructure. In line with this, the two leading operators of India has already introduced 5G services in over 3,500 cities and towns, with comprehensive urban coverage expected to be achieved within this year. Remarkably, approximately 2,75,000 5G base transceiver stations (BTS) have been deployed by these operators across the country, exemplifying the nation's progress in the telecommunications sector. This robust growth and unwavering commitment exhibited by the telecom industry presents us with a significant opportunity to manufacture and supply the towers needed to meet the increasing demand.
Moreover, India is presently undergoing a notable upswing in the demand for steel, largely propelled by the construction sector and ongoing infrastructure initiatives. We expect this surge in steel demand to intensify with the commencement of new projects in upcoming years providing us good revenue visibility.
Lastly, We remain focused on our core mission of delivering exceptional engineering and construction solutions to our customers while driving sustainable growth to our stakeholders. We will continue to invest in our network and technology, while also exploring new opportunities for growth and innovation. We would like to conclude by thanking our whole team who have stood tall with us in every situation.”
