Chamunda Electrical Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

1. Industry Structure and Developments

During FY 2025-26, the Indian power and electrical infrastructure industry continued to witness significant growth, supported by increasing electricity demand, expansion and modernization of transmission and distribution infrastructure, integration of renewable energy into the grid and continued investments in substations and associated electrical infrastructure.

The Government of India continued to focus on strengthening the transmission network to facilitate the integration of renewable energy capacity. Under the Green Energy Corridor programme, substantial investments are being made in transmission lines and substations, including in Gujarat. The Intra-State Green Energy Corridor Phase-II scheme envisages approximately 10,750 ckm of transmission lines and 27,500 MVA of substations to facilitate integration of around 20 GW of renewable energy capacity.

The renewable energy sector remained one of the major drivers of growth for the electrical infrastructure industry during the year. India added substantial renewable energy capacity during 2025, with solar power continuing to account for a significant proportion of new capacity additions. The increasing deployment of solar and other renewable energy projects is creating corresponding demand for substations, transmission systems, grid evacuation infrastructure, testing, commissioning and operation and maintenance services.

In this environment, the industry presents opportunities for companies having technical expertise in substation operation and maintenance, testing and commissioning, EHV electrical works and solar EPC activities. The increasing focus on grid modernization, renewable energy integration and development of transmission infrastructure is expected to provide sustained opportunities for specialized electrical infrastructure service providers.

Going forward, the Companys industry is expected to benefit from continued investments in power transmission and distribution, renewable energy evacuation, substation infrastructure, grid strengthening and solar power projects. At the same time, the industry remains competitive and is subject to factors such as project execution timelines, availability and cost of equipment, raw-material prices, skilled manpower, regulatory requirements and competitive pricing.

Overall, the industry outlook remains positive, supported by Indias increasing power requirements, renewable energy expansion and the Governments continued emphasis on strengthening and modernising the countrys electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure.

5. Risks and Concerns

Key risks faced by the Company include:

Over-reliance on Substation Services:

A substantial portion of Chamundas revenue comes from operation, maintenance, testing, and commissioning (OMTC) of electrical substations. Any project delays, rising material costs, or execution problems could significantly dent its revenue and cash flow

Customer Concentration

All of the companys revenue is generated from just its top ten customers. Should it lose one major client, the impact on revenue and profitability could be substantial- even though such a disruption hasnt occurred in recent years.

Geographic Concentration in Gujarat

Chamunda conducts most of its operations in Gujarat in recent years. Any economic downturn, policy shift, or regional regulatory changes in Gujarat could severely impact the business.

Dependence on Government Contracts

A significant portion of Chamundas business is tied to state electricity boards (like GETCO) and government tenders. The companys growth and stability hinge on maintaining favorable relations, timely payments, and continued access to such contracts.

6. Internal Control Systems and Their Adequacy

The Company has a sound internal control system commensurate with its size and nature of operations. It includes policies and procedures to ensure:

Efficient use and protection of resources. Accuracy and completeness of accounting records. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Periodic internal audits are conducted and findings reported to the Audit Committee and Board for necessary action. No significant internal control weaknesses were observed during the year.

Ratio Variation Point-wise reason for variation
(a) Current Ratio (24.14%) The Current Ratio decreased from 3.48 to 2.64 mainly due to changes in current assets and current liabilities during the year. The decrease indicates relatively higher utilisation of current assets towards business operations and/or an increase in short-term obligations.
(b) Debt-Equity Ratio N.A. The Debt-Equity Ratio increased to 0.10 from nil mainly on account of borrowings/debt availed by the Company during FY 2025-26. As there were no debts as on March 31, 2025, the ratio was not applicable/was nil in the previous year.
(c) Debt Service Coverage Ratio N.A. The ratio is not applicable as the Company did not have significant debt servicing obligations requiring computation of the ratio during the relevant period. Accordingly, the ratio has been disclosed as N.A.
(d) Return on Equity Ratio (38.67%) The decrease from 21.36% to 13.10% is primarily attributable to a lower level of profitability relative to the shareholders equity during FY 2025-26. The increase in the equity base and/or reduction in profit has resulted in a lower return generated on shareholders funds.
(e) Inventory Turnover Ratio N.A. The ratio is not applicable as the Company does not maintain inventory as part of its principal business operations.
(f) Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio (15.11%) The ratio decreased from 6.09 to 5.17 mainly due to an increase in average trade receivables in relation to revenue. The variation reflects a comparatively higher level of outstanding receivables during the year.
(g) Trade Payables Turnover Ratio (24.26%) The decrease from 415.54 to 314.74 is mainly due to changes in trade payables and purchases/operating expenses during the year. The lower ratio indicates relatively higher average trade payables during FY 2025-26.
(h) Net Capital Turnover Ratio (35.71%) The ratio decreased from 5.60 to 3.60 primarily due to an increase in net working capital relative to revenue. The higher working capital employed during the year resulted in lower utilisation of net capital in generating revenue.
(i) Net Profit Ratio (17.26%) The decrease from 13.27% to 10.98% is mainly attributable to a reduction in the net profit margin during FY 2025-26 due to changes in operating costs, finance costs and other expenses in relation to revenue.
(j) Return on Capital Employed (31.78%) The decrease from 23.38% to 15.95% is primarily attributable to lower operating profitability relative to the capital employed. The increase in capital employed and/or reduction in operating profit has resulted in a lower return generated on the capital employed.
(k) Return on Investment N.A. The ratio is not applicable as the Company does not have material investments for which a meaningful Return on Investment ratio is required to be computed.
