These acquisitions will also help the company expand its presence in key markets and strengthen its product offerings.

We remain constructive on the company’s growth prospects due to its higher focus on value-added products, established relationship with marquee customers, stronger domestic portfolio; focus on exports, diversifying industry mix – railways, auto, traction motors, renewable energy etc. Capacity expansion directly results in strong improvement in the company’s order book, Merger with Pitti Casting will add to margins, and strengthens the components business. Strong industry tailwinds – such as India targeting 800 Vande Bharat trains by 2030, EV sales CAGR of ~49% over FY22-30 to 10mn units, and China+1 playing out as a big theme for fabrications business – will provide growth momentum going forward. PEL’s target is to garner more than 80% revenue through assembly and value-added products, which will also help in increasing EBITDA per tonne in quarters to come. The increasing demand in renewable energy and marine applications in the international market is expected to significantly aid in PEL’s revenue growth and improve its profitability moving forward. At CMP of Rs.1426, the stock is trading at 23x FY26E.
