Pace Digitek's FY26 Revenue Grows 8.3%, Order Book Fuels Future Growth
**FY26 Revenue:** ₹2,641 crore **Executable Order Book:** ₹11,338 crore Reader Takeaway: Strong revenue growth and order book visibility contrast with margin pressure from a business mix shift. ## What just happened Pace Digitek Ltd announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending March 31, 2026. The company reported a 60.5% year-on-year surge in Q4 FY26 revenue to ₹1,097 crore. For the full fiscal year FY26, revenue increased by 8.3% to ₹2,641 crore. Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY26 grew 10.1% to ₹307 crore. However, EBITDA saw a slight decline to ₹455 crore from ₹482 crore in FY25, attributed to a business mix change towards the energy sector. ## Why this matters The substantial growth in Q4 revenue and the strong overall FY26 revenue indicate robust project execution capabilities. The massive executable order book of ₹11,338 crore, with a significant portion (78.1%) from the energy sector, provides strong visibility for future revenue streams, particularly for FY27 and FY28, with management guiding for ₹3,200-₹3,400 crore in FY27. The strategic expansion into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) manufacturing signals a move towards higher-growth sectors. ## The backstory Pace Digitek is transitioning from a telecom-focused infrastructure provider to an integrated infrastructure platform encompassing telecom, energy, and BESS. This shift has impacted profitability margins, as energy sector margins are historically lower than those in telecom. Finance costs have reduced significantly due to debt optimization. ## What changes now The company is aggressively scaling its BESS manufacturing capacity, aiming for 10 GWh by October 2026. It is also focusing on integrated manufacturing, including in-house container fabrication, to improve cost efficiencies. The balance sheet shows total debt of ₹961 crore, primarily for BESS expansion and energy assets, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.43x. ## Risks to watch Key concerns include potential margin compression due to the business mix shift towards the lower-margin energy segment. High inventory levels (₹540 crore) for commodity hedging and significant trade receivables (₹2,442 crore) due to milestone billing cycles require close monitoring for working capital normalization, which management expects by September 2026. The increased debt also needs careful management. ## Peer comparison As Pace Digitek diversifies into energy storage and integrated infrastructure, direct peer comparisons become complex. Its telecom infrastructure peers may show higher EBITDA margins, while pure-play energy companies might have different debt profiles. The company's integrated approach aims to leverage synergies across these segments. ## Context metrics (time-bound) * **Revenue Growth:** FY26 revenue grew 8.3% YoY to ₹2,641 crore. * **Q4 Revenue Growth:** Up 60.5% YoY to ₹1,097 crore. * **FY26 PAT:** ₹307 crore (up 10.1% YoY). * **FY26 EBITDA:** ₹455 crore (down from ₹482 crore in FY25). * **Order Book:** ₹11,338 crore as of May 25, 2026. * **BESS Capacity:** Planned expansion to 10 GWh by October 2026. * **Debt:** ₹961 crore as of March 31, 2026. ## What to track next Investors should closely monitor the progress of BESS capacity expansion, the effective management of working capital, and the trend of EBITDA margins. Meeting the FY27 and FY28 revenue guidance will be critical performance indicators.
