PAT down 17% to ₹49.92 Cr, Revenue up 10% to ₹559.28 Cr. Reader Takeaway: Strong order book provides visibility, but expansion hit Q1 margins and profits. ## What just happened Transformers and Rectifiers (India) Limited (TARIL) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹49.92 Cr, a decrease of 17% compared to ₹60.20 Cr in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations saw a 10% increase, reaching ₹559.28 Cr from ₹510.53 Cr in Q1FY26. EBITDA for the quarter declined by 10% to ₹87.37 Cr from ₹96.70 Cr year-on-year. Consolidated revenue was ₹572.34 Cr with an EBITDA of ₹109.65 Cr. ## Why this matters The decrease in profit and EBITDA, despite revenue growth, is attributed to short-term operational constraints due to ongoing expansion activities at the Changodar plant. This impacted capacity utilization and throughput in the quarter. However, the company maintains a robust order book of ₹6,630 Cr, offering revenue visibility for the next 18-24 months, with power transformers forming 80% of this book. ## The backstory Transformers and Rectifiers India Ltd is a key player in the manufacturing of power and distribution transformers. The company has been focused on expanding its manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand in the power sector. This current expansion phase aims to increase overall capacity and efficiency. ## What changes now The management expects the expansion at the Changodar plant to be completed by August 2026. Following this, improved throughput and utilization levels are anticipated, which should positively impact future financial performance. The company has also guided for FY27 revenue growth of 25% and targeted EBITDA and PAT margins. ## Risks to watch Key risks include potential delays in the completion of the Changodar plant expansion and the backward integration facilities, which could further impact margins. The company also needs to manage operational efficiency during the transition period. A delay in the commercial commissioning of backward integration facilities to Q1 FY28 has already been noted. ## Peer comparison While specific peer performance data for Q1FY27 is not detailed in the filing, the company's focus on power transformers places it within a segment influenced by government infrastructure spending and renewable energy project developments. Competitors in this space include companies like KEC International and Kalpataru Power Transmission, among others, though their product mix may vary. ## Context metrics (time-bound) * The un-executed order book grew 26% year-on-year to ₹6,630 Cr as of June 30, 2026. * New order inflow for Q1FY27 was ₹2,114 Cr. * The Changodar plant expansion is expected to complete by August 2026. * Backward integration facilities are targeted for commissioning by Q1 FY28. ## What to track next Investors will be watching the progress of the Changodar plant expansion and its impact on capacity utilization and margins.

Tracking new order inflows and the status of backward integration projects will also be important.
