Time Technoplast delivered a solid Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,567 crore (+13% YoY) and PAT of ₹126 crore (+25% YoY), driven by 15% volume growth and a rising share of value-added products (30% of sales vs 27% last year). The composite segment grew 23%, supported by a healthy order book of ₹165 crore for Type-4 cylinders. Management reiterated a 15% revenue growth trajectory and guided for ROCE improvement to 20% in FY26 (9M: 18.6%). Key margin drivers include automation (₹75 crore capex), solar power savings (~₹10 crore annualized from FY27), and debt reduction to near-zero in 6 months, cutting finance costs from ~₹90 crore to ₹25-30 crore. Risks include potential raw material volatility and slower-than-expected ramp-up of new composite capacity.
Titagarh Rail Systems reported a mixed Q3 FY26. Freight rail revenue declined to ~600 cr from 800 cr YoY due to wheel set supply disruptions, though normalization is underway. Passenger rail revenue surged from ~40 cr to ~160 cr YoY, with EBITDA jumping to ~22 cr, reflecting successful ramp-up. The company flagged off the first Ahmedabad Metro train and secured a wagon leasing license to boost private sector presence. Management guided for metro car production to reach 20 per month in coming months and expects passenger rail to dominate revenue in 2-3 years. The aluminium metro line and ABB TCMS technology transfer strengthen backward integration. Risks include continued wheel set volatility and potential delays in new wagon orders. Overall, the passenger business turnaround is encouraging, but freight headwinds persist.
