Business Overview

Incorporated in 2015, we are an engineering company engaged in the manufacturing of ready-to-use components, assemblies, and subassemblies for Indian railways, defence, power generation and allied industries. Our product portfolio includes critical components such as traction motor components and bogie assembly components for the railway sector, sub-assemblies for thermal and hydro turbines used in the power generation sector and components for industrial machinery, equipment and the defence sector. These components are manufactured using unmachined and machined castings made from metals including carbon steel, ductile iron, grey cast iron and medium and low alloy steels. Our clientele primarily comprises companies operating in the heavy engineering, railways and defence sector.

In the railway sector, we supply components for the production of traction motors and bogie assemblies, including control arms for FIAT LHB coaches, stator frames for various motors used by railways for manufacturing of traction motors serving the railway and heavy engineering industries. In the defence sector, we manufacture components such as cradles and recoiling assembly cylinders for government defence production units. In the power generation sector, we manufacture guide vanes, bush housings and fork systems for heavy engineering companies, which are used in hydro and thermal power generation. In components for industrial machinery and equipment, we manufacture High Temperature Resistance Liner and other components.

D. Accounting Convention

The Company follows the mercantile system of accounting, recognizing income and expenditure on accrual basis. The accounts are prepared on historical cost basis and as a going concern. Accounting policies not referred to specifically otherwise, are consistent with the generally accepted accounting principles.

The following significant accounting policies are adopted in the preparation and presentation of these financial statements:

1. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Sales of goods are recognized on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers.

Income from Services is recognized on an accrual basis when it is earned and the right to receive payment is reasonably assured.

Interest Income is Recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable i.e. on the basis of matching concept.

2. Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets i. Property, Plant & Equipments:

a) Property, Plant and Equipment Intangible Assets are stated as per Cost Model i.e., at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any; Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets are ready for use, as intended by the management;

b) Subsequent expenditures relating to Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of profit & Loss when incurred;

c) The cost and related accumulated depreciated are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell;

d) Depreciation on fixed assets will be calculated using the Written Down Value Method (WDV) method, which involves applying depreciation rates prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. to the carrying amount of the asset. The carrying amount is reduced each year by the amount of depreciation charged.

e) Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end;

3. Impairment

The Management periodically assesses, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the assets net selling price and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

4. Inventories

Raw material, Work in Progress and finished goods ::

Raw Materials -Lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on First in First out (FIFO) basis.

Finished goods and Work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on First in First out (FIFO) basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Resultant gain or loss on account of the fluctuation in the rate of exchange is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

6. Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non- cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.

7. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Costs incurred in raising funds are amortized equally over the period for which the funds are acquired. All other borrowing costs are charged to profit and loss account.

Such deferred tax is quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset/liability is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and consequential adjustments are carried out.

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value which is the average market value of the outstanding shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

10. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the best estimate of the likely future outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Where no reliable estimate can be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Adjustments are required to assets and liabilities for events which occur after balance sheet date which offer added information substantially affecting the determination of the amounts which relates to the conditions that existed at balance sheet date.

15. Related Party Transactions

Short-term borrowings amounted to ?729.30 lakhs as on September 30, 2025, compared to ?851.95 lakhs as on March 31, 2025, and ?704.63 lakhs in FY 2023-24. The reduction in short-term debt during the period was mainly due to repayment of cash-credit facilities and better working capital management.

Trade Receivables:

Our Companys trade receivables stood at ?1,390.20 lakhs as on September 30, 2025, compared to ?1,480.05 lakhs as on March 31, 2025, ?909.83 lakhs as on March 31, 2024, and ?453.25 lakhs as on March 31, 2023. The marginal decrease during the current period indicates improved collection efficiency and timely realization from customers. The overall increase in receivables over the past years aligns with the significant growth in revenue from operations, which increased from ?2,059.06 lakhs in FY 2022-23 to ?3,156.02 lakhs for the half year ended September 30, 2025..

Trade Payables:

Our trade payables increased from ?359.33 lakhs in FY 2022-23 to ?638.78 lakhs in FY 2023-24 and further to ?727.97 lakhs in FY 2024-25, with a balance of ?415.88 lakhs as on September 30, 2025. The rise in trade payables was primarily driven by higher procurement of raw materials and components in line with the increase in production and sales volumes during the year. Additionally, extended credit terms negotiated with suppliers and timing differences in payments around the year-end also contributed to the higher outstanding balance.

Inventories:

Our inventories increased from ?325.76 lakhs in FY 2022-23 to ?527.60 lakhs in FY 2023-24 and further to ?628.89 lakhs in FY 202425, representing a growth of 61.96% from FY 2022-23 to FY 2023-24 and 19.20% from FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25. As on September 30, 2025, inventories stood at ?632.11 lakhs. The increase was primarily driven by higher stocking of raw materials and finished goods to meet anticipated demand and support the growing scale of operations. The Company continues to maintain optimal inventory levels to ensure smooth production while effectively managing carrying costs.

Short Term Loans and Advances:

Our short-term loans and advances stood at ?404.24 lakhs as on September 30, 2025, compared to ?184.44 lakhs as on March 31, 2025, ?346.20 lakhs in FY 2023-24, and ?64.46 lakhs in FY 2022-23. The significant increase in FY 2023-24 was primarily due to higher advances to suppliers amounting to ?331.74 lakhs, reflecting the procurement requirements for increased production. In FY 2024-25, the balance declined to ?184.44 lakhs mainly due to a reduction in advances to suppliers to ?166.94 lakhs. The subsequent rise to ?404.24 lakhs as of September 30, 2025, was largely attributable to higher advances to suppliers of ?376.75 lakhs and preliminary expenses of ?13.45 lakhs related to the proposed IPO.
