✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Kranti Industries delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹22.87 Cr (+32.2% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹3.55 Cr (15.5% margin), nearly tripling YoY. PAT turned positive at ₹0.74 Cr vs a loss last year. Growth was driven by improved capacity utilization, cost optimization, and early traction from defense and new plant. The company secured ₹2.04 Cr in defense orders and commissioned a new Jaipur plant (capex-light model). Management guided for 12-15 Cr defense revenue in FY27 and expects 20% revenue growth over the next two years. EBITDA margin target is 16-18%. Key risk: defense orders are still in sample/development phase; scaling and margin realization remain unproven.
