Management has signaled that Q1 FY27 would remain muted, with a production turnaround expected to begin from Q2 FY27 as wheelset supplies stabilize. While revenue is likely to show mid-to-high single-digit growth compared to the Rs. 459 Cr base in Q1 FY26, sequential performance may be constrained by seasonal softness and lingering supply chain bottlenecks. EBITDA margins are expected to show modest sequential improvement from the 10.68% level seen in Q4 FY26, though they will likely remain below the 13-14% guided range due to the absorption of fixed costs from recent capacity expansions. The company is working to normalize its Rs. 1,078.6 Cr inventory overhang, which management expects to address by the second quarter of the current financial year.

The Odisha railwheel and axle forging plant is undergoing a phased investment of Rs. 2,500 Cr. Interim partial operations are now expected by March 2027, with final commissioning scheduled for March 2028.
The company missed its FY26 targets due to a prolonged shortage of wheelsets and fresh supply chain disruptions involving LPG and consumables in the fourth quarter. Management has since revised its operational plans to focus on a turnaround starting in Q2 FY27.
Inventory increased by 40% to Rs. 1,078.6 Cr by the end of FY26 due to supply chain disruptions. Management has guided that they expect these levels to normalize by Q2 FY27.
