EBITDA margin expected to show some improvement for FY26 overall compared to prior year, though Q3's 15.7% represents record and focus is on stabilizing at this level.
Company aims to productionize 30 crore of new business by March end FY26, with approximately 20 crore already done in 9 months; projects in final launch phase.
Of 25 crore FY26 capex budget, approximately 18 crore has been spent through Q3, with remainder to be completed in Q4; turnaround time for projects monitored for efficiency.
Management stated 15% is now the floor and baseline minimum, with a clear target to move closer to 20% EBITDA margin by end of FY27 or early FY28, driven by business mix optimization and operational efficiency gains.
New capex plan of 30 crores with 60% allocation to future growth areas (drive line, axle, new programs), 5 crores for existing business, and 10 crores each for ramp-up and new business.
At fixed asset turnover ratio of 3x with current PPE of ~97 crores (including CWIP), management sees 300 crores as achievable steady-state revenue level.
Target reduction from current elevated levels through improved credit controls, inventory rationalization, and better payables management.
