4. FUTURE OUTLOOK & PLANS
A. JASH ENGINEERING LTD., INDIA
Jash Engineering is seeing uptick in order booking based on strong demand in domestic business. This uptick in domestic demand is expected to continue in future years and to meet this demand significant addition in manufacturing capabilities and capacity has to be done at Unit-1, Unit-2, Unit-3, Unit-4 & Unit-5 (Chennai after merging).
In Unit-1, to address the concerns of pollution control authorities about operating a coal-based melting furnace in a foundry, the company plans to switch to an electrically operated induction furnace for melting. This will increase the cost of operations due to higher rates for electrical energy, but this will partially be off-stetted by increasing the capacity of solar generation. Switching over to an induction furnace also helps increase yearly casting output by around 30% and also helps in reducing carbon footprint. Further investment is also planned in increasing the Foundry area and area available for assembly, testing, and painting for small and medium-sized cast iron water control gates. Investment into additional equipment for testing and painting of small and medium-sized gates as well as into an additional machining facility, is also planned. The total cost of all the investment is expected to be about Rs. 1040 lacs (Rs. 104 million). All this is expected to be commissioned by March 2026.
In Unit-2, the work on Guesthouse is progressing well and all civil work is expected to be over by Sept 2025. The furnishing work will start thereafter and we expect to commission the Guesthouse by end March 2026. The total cost for Guesthouse is expected to be about Rs. 275 lakhs (Rs. 27.5 million).
In Unit-3, investment on a CNC double column vertical milling machine for machining jobs as large as 3000 x 4500 mm and on a lathe to machine spindles of 6000 mm length x 200 mm diameter is planned. The ordering will be done in August 2025 and the commissioning is expected to be done by March-April 2026. The total cost of all the investment is expected to be about Rs. 430 lacs (Rs. 43 million).
In Unit-4, an entire new plant of approx. 65,000 sq feet is being made as an extension on a new plot across the road. This plant will have a facility for larger stores, machining, fabrication, pickling, grit blasting, and assembly of Screens as well as heavy-fab gates made of stainless steel. The existing facility at Unit-4 will be used mostly for assembly, testing, bath picking, and grit blasting of small and medium-sized fabricated gates made of stainless steel. The total cost of all the investments is expected to be about Rs. 1,900 lacs (Rs. 190 million). This plant is expected to be commissioned by March 2026.
Unit-5 is now going to be the Chennai plant designated for Shivpad - Process equipment products made of Stainless-steel material. This plant is now commissioned, and commercial production will start in August 2025. The incremental investment in this plant in current financial year will be approx. Rs. 700 lacs (Rs. 70 million).
The company is also in the process of acquiring 90% stake in WesTech Process Equipment India Private Ltd., Mumbai, a company producing equipment for wastewater treatment in Industrial and Mining segment. The process of Due diligence has commenced and subject to everything going through this company will become a subsidiary of Jash Engineering by Oct 2025. This acquisition is expected to cost the company about Rs. 4,100 lacs (Rs. 410 million).
The investment in all the Units put together is expected to be about Rs. 4,345 lacs (Rs. 434.5 million) and along with the acquisition of WesTech the total investment would be approx. Rs. 8,445 lacs (Rs. 844.5 million). This will be met partly by internal accruals and partly by raising debt from bankers.
B. RODNEY HUNT INC., USA
The Company did US$ 34 million (Rs. 29,300 lacs / Rs. 2,930 million) in revenue in 2024-25, and for the current year, the tentative revenue projection was US$ 42 million (Rs. 36,000 lacs / Rs. 3,600 million). However, after the Trump administration has announced the reciprocal tariff come there is now lot of uncertainty over US operations revenue. Due to the prevailing uncertainty on the applicable tariff, the Company has been indecisive in booking new orders for projects to be manufactured in India. It is also difficult to take more orders for manufacturing in the US plant at Orange, Massachusetts, because the company is already facing problems of getting and retaining competent manpower. In view of these issues the growth in the current financial year will slow down, and the company has lowered its revenue forecast to between US$ 38-40 million (Rs. 32,000-34,000 lacs / Rs. 3,200-3,400 million).
It was earlier proposed to build a new office building of approx. 13,000 sq feet in Houston in 2025. However, after the new tariff policy of the current US administration of the company decided in May 2025 to postpone the investment in the office and instead build the manufacturing facility at Houston to make Stainless steel Gates and Screens. The final drawings for this plant will be ready by August end / mid-September 2025 and submitted to Pearland city for approval. We expect the approval to come by the end of December and start construction of the plant by Jan-Feb 2026 and commission this plant by the end of 2026. The total investment envisaged for this plant is about US$ 4.5 million (Rs. 3,830 lacs / Rs. 383 million).
In addition to this, the company will also carry out expansion in the Orange manufacturing facility by occupying the unused facility. The company currently use about 75,000 sq feet of the old Rodney Hunt facility to make Stainless steel, Carbon steel, and Cast-iron gates. However, the company expects the business for these products to grow beyond USD 15 million on the back of the current tariff policy, and for tha,t the company will be required to add more area from the old Rodney Hunt facility. In that case, the company will have to upgrade the old sheds to make them suitable for production. This will call for investment of US$ 1.5 million (Rs. 1,300 lacs / Rs. 130 million). The decision on this will be taken by Sept 2025, and the new facilities will be commissioned by May-June 2026.
The total investment on the new Houston plant and on existing Orange upgradation put together is expected to be about US$ 6 million (Rs. 5,160 lacs / Rs. 516 million). This will be met partly by funds already raised by Jash in 2024 from stock market sale and partly by raising debt from RH bankers in USA.
C. WATERFRONT FLUID CONTROLS LTD., UK
All the required investment in Waterfronts office and manufacturing infrastructure is now done, and the new team at the company is being built. Post acquisition, we realised that the company was still considered as a Scottish company located far from the heart of UK. This resulted in reservations from major utilities and contractors located in the Midlands / England to do business with Waterfront, To overcome these reservations and at the same time to have a base in the Midlands, the company is contemplating an acquisition of another company engaged in the manufacturing and sale of penstocks in the Midlands. Talks are at an advanced stage, and if everything goes right, this company will be acquired and merged with Waterfront by October 2026, subject to mandatory due diligence.
The new Waterfront entity post-merger will have having combined revenue of around Serling Pounds 4 million (Rs. 4,600 lacs / Rs. 460 million) in 2025-26 and will have a pan-UK presence with easy access to clientele and utilities in England as well as in Scotland.
To strengthen the balance sheet of Waterfront and to acquire this new company, an amount of approx. Sterling Pounds 2 million (Rs. 2,300 lacs / Rs. 230 million) will be required. This will be sent from Jash Engineering in the form of loan or capital within next 3-4 months. This amount will be met partly by internal accruals of Jash Engineering and partly by raising debt from bankers.
5. NEW PRODUCT ADDITION / DEVELOPMENT
The company has a policy of adding new products every year with a view to improve its product portfolio and maintain its leadership position in India.

The disc filter as per new design from Invent has now been indigenously developed and trial tested at a client site. Further improvements based on feedback from the trials to address the requirement of MBR process has to be done and these would be carried out and trials conducted within this year.
However, for primary and secondary treatment operations of Sewage Treatment plants, the new design is found to meet all the requirements. In view of this, the newly designed machine has already been launched in India. This machine is now ideal for smaller-sized sewage treatment plants and since its launch, the company has received orders for 6 machines from various clients, including for supply to projects outside India. After indigenous development and manufacturing, these machines are finally being sold at a profit in the Indian market after paying due royalty to Invent. We expect to further economize the cost of production to improve profitability as well as achieve leadership position in smaller Disc Filter machines business.
B. BLADDER TYPE AIR VESSELS:
The company had decided to develop a bladder-type air vessel to enhance its portfolio of water hammer control products.
This product was successfully developed and manufactured in October 2023. The first order of 9 m3 capacity vessel was taken and after development was delivered in 2023. Thereafter order of vessel of 40 m3 capacity was taken up. This too was developed and delivered in early 2025. We have now taken an order for vessels of 60 m3 & 80 m3 capacity. This is under development and is planned to be delivered in the current financial year. A vessel of 80 m3 capacity is considered amongst the largest sizes for this product, and there are very few manufacturers who produce this size.
Once these large bladder type air vessels are developed and delivered then development of the whole range will be considered to be done.
C. HIGH PRESSURE KNIFE GATE VALVES FOR CANADIAN OIL SANDS
We have tied up with a Canadian supplier who is quite established in the oil sands business. Along with him, we have developed a KGV of DN 150 size for 52 bar pressure. This valve has been supplied and successfully tested by the customer at their facility. Now the customer has applied for a Canadian Registration Number ( CRN ) for sizes DN 50 to DN 800 based on the drawings and data submitted by us. Once the CRN activity is done, the client will place a trial order for various other sizes for testing purposes. Successful development of this product can lead to export business in excess of Rs. 1,000 lacs (Rs. 100 million) every year in the future.
D. CONVEYORS & INTAKE STATION FOR SOLID WASTES COMING FROM CITIES
We have completed engineering drawings and trials for a solid waste intake station for SFC for the incoming solid waste coming from cities. This will comprise of stainless-steel chamber where trucks can tipple and dump solid wastes collected from cities. The material will be mixed using 3 or 4 screw conveyor and then conveyed up to segregating station. This is an indigenization of currently imported equipment used by SFC at their solid waste treatment plants.
We are now waiting for trial order after which we would make the equipment for their new projects. If this is found to meet their expectations then we can look forward to about Rs 1,000 lacs (Rs. 100 million) business every year in future.
E. AGITATORS AND MIXERS, AERATOR MIXER, TURBO BLOWERS, DECANTERS
Jash Invent India Pvt. Ltd.; India was incorporated in September 2023. Some of the products will be made by Jash Engineering Ltd. and some of the products will be directly imported and sold.
