What the record says.
TD Power Systems delivered an exceptional Q1 FY27 with standalone revenue of ₹630 crore (up 74% YoY) and PAT of ₹85.3 crore (up 81% YoY), driven by surging demand across gas turbines, gas engines, and hydro segments. EBITDA margin expanded 64bps YoY to 19.34%, reflecting favorable product mix and pricing actions. The order book stands at ₹2,208 crore with Q1 inflows of ₹734 crore (up 87% YoY), underpinned by strong execution capacity and 57% export mix. Management raised FY27 revenue guidance to ₹2,600 crore with potential upside and outlined capacity expansion plans targeting ₹3,200 crore by FY28 (via ₹50 crore debottlenecking) and ₹4,000+ crore by FY29-30. Key near-term catalyst is the August announcement on large generator (>100MW) opportunities. Risks include execution delays in data center projects, India domestic market seeing only 10-12% growth, and pending clarity on QIP fundraise and large generator timelines.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Full year FY27 revenue guidance raised to ₹2,600 crore with small chance of crossing this number, up from prior expectations, supported by strong order book and execution capabilities.
- Post ₹50 crore debottlenecking capex, capacity target for FY28 is approximately ₹3,200 crore, with potential upside if market demand warrants.
- Management plans another round of capacity expansion for FY29-30 to push capacity beyond ₹4,000 crore, with specific investment plans to be detailed in the next earnings call (3 months).
- Management maintains EBITDA margin guidance within 18-19% band, utilizing levers including pricing, cost reduction, capacity utilization, and exchange rates.
Risks flagged
- Despite 75% total revenue growth, domestic market continues at 10-12% growth rate with no explosive demand for power generation equipment. Hyperscaler data centers in India face constraints around gas and water availability for large-scale facilities.
- Company is not taking any fresh orders in the railway segment and will review sustainability at end of FY27. Once Indian Railway contract completes, production spacing capacity will need to be redeployed to generator and motor products.
- While all customers are taking delivery of products as ordered, there are execution delays on ground with projects getting delayed. This could impact timing of replacement orders and service revenue.
- Trade receivables stand at approximately ₹785 crore with customer advances and tax provisions increasing current liabilities. Customer payment terms cannot be altered significantly without risking business relationships.
Key quotes
- The forecast of demand at the moment are very strong and TDPS is taking the position to maximize the order inflow. On the capacity side, we are focusing on efficiency as well as debottlenecking to increase output for FY28.
- The power plant informs a very very small percentage of overall project costs and things like that it's less than 5%. So the demanded elasticity is very high. They need electricity and there's no choice.
- Our customers have taken significant amounts of binding from the advances from people who want to buy their equipment and that is the reason why we have confidence and they have confidence that the demand will be in the US.
