EV Shift se Revenue Boom!
Dekho, Subros ne FY26 ke end tak apna revenue 11.52% bada ke ₹3,755.52 crore kar liya. Poora credit jaata hai unke electric, hybrid, aur CNG thermal systems par focus karne ko. Ye naye energy solutions ab company ki total sales ka 25% ban gaye hain, jo pehle ke traditional AC systems se kaafi alag hai. Company bol rahi hai ki in advanced systems se revenue per vehicle 2.5 se 3 guna zyada mil raha hai conventional gaadiyon ke comparison mein. Isse lagta hai ki company India ke badalte auto market mein achha perform karegi. P/E ratio bhi around 28.1-29.34 ke aas paas hai, jo investors ka confidence dikha raha hai.
Profitability par Costs ka Pressure
Revenue toh badha, par profit kaafi pressure mein raha. FY26 ke fourth quarter mein, revenue 15.55% badh kar ₹1,049.76 crore ho gaya, lekin profit after tax sirf 7.56% badh kar ₹49.69 crore tak pahuncha. EBITDA toh bas 0.84% badh kar ₹100.07 crore hua, aur EBITDA margins 9.57% par aa gaye, jo pichhle saal ke 10.96% se kam hai. Iska reason hai badhti commodity prices aur unfavorable forex rates. Poore saal ki baat karein toh EBITDA 5.77% badh kar ₹362.93 crore hua, lekin margin gir kar 9.70% ho gaya 10.22% se, kyunki raw material costs sales ke comparison mein zyada the. Labour codes se related ek one-time charge ne bhi net profit ko affect kiya.
Electric Compressors mein ₹175 Crore ka Investment
Subros ne electric compressor program ke liye ₹175 crore ka bada investment kiya hai. Isse potential annual revenue ₹250 crore tak aa sakta hai aur company 70% localization ka target rakhi hai. Yeh paisa Karsanpura plant ko expand karne aur Kharkhoda mein naya facility banane mein lagega. Production FY2027-28 se start hone ki ummeed hai. Yeh investment dikhata hai ki company EV market mein kitni serious hai. Commercial vehicle sector mein bhi achhi growth dikh rahi hai aur unhone ₹52.18 crore ka railway maintenance contract bhi jeeta hai.
Aage ki Challenges: Margins aur Competition
EV components ki taraf shift karne ke baad bhi Subros ko margins manage karne mein dikkat aa rahi hai. Profitability commodity prices aur currency rates ke upar neeche hone se affect hoti hai. Motherson Sumi Systems jaise competitors ke paas shayad bade product lines ya scale hone ki wajah se zyada advantage ho sakta hai cost badhne par. Filhaal, passenger vehicles ke liye AC aur blower systems mein Subros ka market share 41% aur trucks mein 42% hai. Lekin naye EV thermal systems ko scale karna aur target margins achieve karna important hoga. Debtor days bhi 46.2 se badh kar 55.9 din ho gaye hain, jo working capital management mein strain ka issue ho sakta hai. Lekin achhi baat ye hai ki debt-to-equity ratio sirf 0.02 hai, matlab loan ka zyada burden nahi hai.
Investors ka Outlook
Subros ka electrification aur advanced thermal solutions par focus long-term trends ke hisaab se sahi hai. Electric compressors mein itna bada investment future demand par unka confidence dikhata hai. Investors ka sentiment EV adoption se hone wale growth aur margin pressure ke immediate challenges ke beech balance hoga. Company ka P/E ratio theek hai, par agar margins lagataar girte rahe toh valuation par asar pad sakta hai. Promoter group ne confirm kiya hai ki FY26 mein unke equity shares encumbered nahi the, jo ownership stability batata hai.
