What the record says.
DEE Development Engineers delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue of 286.7 crore (up 77% YoY) and EBITDA of 47.6 crore (up 741% YoY), driven by robust execution in the core piping and fabrication business. Core business EBITDA for 9M FY26 stood at 129.8 crore, up 175.5% YoY, reflecting improved capacity utilization and operating leverage. The Anara facility is fully operational and the seamless pipe plant (7,000 TPA, capex ₹90 crore) is nearing commissioning, expected to generate peak revenue of ₹450 crore with 30-35% IRR. Management reiterated core business margin guidance of 18-20% for FY27, supported by a strong order pipeline (₹1,300 crore order book) and L1 positions worth ₹300-400 crore. The non-core power segment remains a drag (₹36 crore loss expected in FY26), but biomass pellet plant commissioning should make it EBITDA-neutral from FY27. Key risk: further adverse tariff revisions or delays in power segment resolution could prolong cash drain.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated guidance of 18-20% EBITDA margin for the core business in FY27, excluding non-core power segment losses.
- The new seamless pipe plant with 7,000 TPA capacity and ₹90 crore capex is nearing commissioning, expected to generate peak revenue of ₹450 crore at optimal utilization.
- With biomass pellet plant commissioning and expected tariff relief, the power division should become EBITDA-neutral in FY27, eliminating the ~₹36 crore loss.
- Management expects to repay ~₹40 crore debt annually and generate positive cash flows from H1 FY27, reducing interest costs without new term loans.
Risks flagged
- The power division faces adverse tariff revisions (from ₹8.5 to ₹3.5 per unit for Balwa plant) with final orders pending; further delays or unfavorable outcomes could prolong cash drain.
- High inventory levels (₹500-600 crore) relative to order book due to project-specific procurement and import lead times; any order cancellation or delay could strain liquidity.
- Rising steel prices and import dependence (50% of raw material) could pressure margins if not passed through; management claims insulation via back-to-back ordering but risk remains.
- Analyst flagged confusion in EBITDA reporting (labor code impact inclusion); management acknowledged and promised revised filing, indicating potential transparency issues.
Key quotes
- Our core business EBITDA per 9 month FY26 stood at 129.8 crores representing a year-on-year growth of 175.5%.
- We are absolutely on track sir... many tenders have been opened and we are L1 in many of those.
- Our original guidance was 18 to 20%... we are absolutely on track as a matter of fact we are much better than what we have projected.
