What the record says.
Techno Electric delivered a resilient Q3 FY26 with 26% revenue growth to Rs 857 Cr and PAT up 45% to Rs 151 Cr, with EPS of Rs 30. The company is transforming from a pure-play EPC player into a digital infrastructure platform, leveraging its 40-year power sector expertise to build data centers and smart metering assets. Management guided FY26 revenue of Rs 3,300-3,400 Cr with EPS of Rs 50, maintaining FY27 EPS guidance of Rs 75. The order book stands at Rs 10,200 Cr, with new orders of ~Rs 2,500 Cr secured YTD. Data center capex guidance for FY27 is Rs 500-600 Cr, with plans to invest Rs 5,000 Cr by 2030. The smart metering segment faces margin pressures, prompting a profit-over-volume strategy. Key risks include execution challenges tied to land availability and data center monetization timelines, with management declining to provide detailed Chennai revenue/EBITDA commentary until September 2026.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Full-year guidance reaffirmed; Q4 expected to be the best quarter, growing over prior year. Other income guidance of ~Rs 150 Cr annually.
- Management confirms ~Rs 50 EPS target for FY26 on standalone basis; consolidated within +/-5% of standalone.
- Company maintains Rs 75 EPS guidance for FY27, anticipating no major execution challenges beyond land availability delays.
- Capex planned for NOIDA, Kolkata, and 3-4 edge data centers in FY27 (April 2026 - March 2027).
Risks flagged
- New tenders in smart metering space showing margin pressures. Management has adopted a profit-over-volume strategy and become selective, potentially limiting order intake growth in this vertical.
- Management declined to provide Chennai data center revenue/bottom-line specifics, stating they would share clarity by September 2026. Phase 1 utilization expected to reach full by H1 FY27.
- Management explicitly stated limiting annual order intake to Rs 3,000-3,500 Cr despite large pipeline, citing need to sustain execution quality. This disciplined approach may cap near-term revenue visibility.
- Smart metering concession revenue recognition depends on system acceptance tests and government deployment timelines, creating potential volatility in quarterly reporting.
Key quotes
- We are not just observing the digital revolution. We are building the infrastructure that powers it.
- Data centers are at an inflection point. In FY27, we must achieve Rs 100 Cr plus revenue from data centers with 50-60% EBITDA margins, nearly 4x of our EPC margins.
- We won't be expanding speculatively but given the way industry is evolving and rapidly evolving, I believe we should be commissioning the entire capacity and maybe more within the next 2.5-3 years.
