Gauri Kirloskar: Thank you, Sanjeev, for the introduction. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us for Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited Q1 FY27 earnings conference call. Joining me today are Rahul Sahai, CEO of KOEL, Sachin, our CFO, Kiran, our CHRO, Farah, Company Secretary, and from Arka, Riddhi Garg, Chief Financial Officer. Thank you all for joining us. The first quarter of FY27 reflects an important milestone in KOEL's transformation. While the quarter was characterized by significant geopolitical uncertainty and unusually weak export markets, our domestic businesses delivered broad-based growth across all our major operating segments. This reinforces our confidence that the strategic actions we have taken over the last few years are translating into stronger execution, improved market positioning, and a more resilient business model.

Speaker #3: Joining me today are Rahul Sahai, CEO of Coel; Sachin, our CFO; Kiran, our CHRO; Farah, Company Secretary; and from Arka, Riddhi Gar, Chief Financial Officer.

Speaker #3: Thank you all for joining us. The first quarter of FY27 reflects an important milestone in COEL's transformation. While the quarter was characterized by significant geopolitical uncertainty and unusually weak export markets, our domestic businesses delivered broad-based growth across all our major operating segments.

Speaker #3: This reinforces our confidence that the strategic actions we have taken over the last few years are translating into stronger execution, improved market positioning, and a more resilient business model.

Speaker #3: Our standalone revenue grew 16% year-on-year to ₹1,461 crore, led by robust domestic demand across power generation, industrial, and distribution and aftermarket businesses. Power generation grew by 18%, industrial by 19%, and the distribution and aftermarket business delivered another strong quarter with 20% growth.

Gauri Kirloskar: Our standalone revenue grew 16% year-on-year to INR 1,461 crores, led by robust domestic demand across Power Generation, Industrial, and Distribution and Aftermarket businesses. Power Generation grew by 18%, Industrial by 19%, and Distribution and Aftermarket business delivered another strong quarter with 20% growth. These are not isolated performances. They reflect sustained execution across our portfolio, continued customer engagement, and increasing market competitiveness. In the Power Generation business, one of the highlights of the quarter has been the continued strengthening of our position in the domestic Power Generation market. Over the last year, we have fundamentally redesigned our approach to the sub 30 kVA market. Rather than competing with individual products, we have created a comprehensive portfolio architecture covering multiple customer segments, technologies, and price points. This strategy has significantly strengthened our competitive position in India's largest genset segment and has contributed meaningfully to our domestic market share gains.

Speaker #3: These are not isolated performances; they reflect sustained execution across our portfolio, continued customer engagement, and increasing market competitiveness. In the power generation business, one of the highlights of the quarter has been the continued strengthening of our position in the domestic power generation market.

Speaker #3: Over the last year, we have fundamentally redesigned our approach to the sub-30 kVA market. Rather than competing with individual products, we have created a comprehensive portfolio architecture covering multiple customer segments, technologies, and price points.

Speaker #3: This strategy has significantly strengthened our competitive position in India's largest genset segment and has contributed meaningfully to our domestic market share gain. Alongside strengthening our core businesses, we continue to invest in building the next generation of growth platforms.

Gauri Kirloskar: Alongside strengthening our core businesses, we continue to invest in building the next generation of growth platforms. Our OptiPrime modular power platform continues to gain momentum as customers increasingly evaluate resilient and scalable power architectures for data centers and mission-critical infrastructure. During the quarter, we secured an important order in the data center segment, validating both the market need and the differentiated capabilities of our modular architecture. Coming to the Industrial business. Our Industrial business grew 19% domestically. Our construction segment saw double-digit growth in spite of muted growth in the overall construction industry. Marine segment more than doubled, growing 125%. Railways grew 62%. Both marine and railway segments are businesses where we have built durable platform relationships and a strong spares and service annuity behind the first sale.

Speaker #3: Our OptiPrime modular power platform continues to gain momentum as customers increasingly evaluate resilient and scalable power architectures for data centers and mission-critical infrastructure. During the quarter, we secured an important order in the data center segment, validating both the market need and the differentiated capabilities of our modular architecture.

Speaker #3: Now, coming to the industrial business, our industrial business grew 19% domestically. Our construction segment saw double-digit growth in spite of muted growth in the overall construction industry.

Speaker #3: The marine segment more than doubled, growing by 125%. Railways grew by 62%. Both the marine and railway segments are businesses where we have built durable platform relationships and a strong spares and service annuity behind the first sale.

Speaker #3: But the more interesting development in industrial is that our growth is no longer confined to selling engines into applications we have always served. We received a landmark order from the oil and gas segment for natural gas gensets across ratings up to 500 kVA.

Gauri Kirloskar: The more interesting development in Industrial is that our growth is no longer confined to selling engines into applications we have always served. We received a landmark order from the oil and gas segment for natural gas gensets across ratings up to 500 kVA. This reinforces our presence as a credible gas power solutions partner, and further, it strengthens our position in industrial gas-based power solutions and our investments in advanced fuel-agnostic technologies. Last quarter, we also established a dedicated subsidiary for our defense business called Kirloskar Advanced Systems Private Limited. India's defense opportunity is expanding rapidly, and our position here is unusual. The research, development, and intellectual property are entirely indigenous. That allows us to offer global standard solutions that directly reinforce national capability. We are building this deliberately and for the long term. Coming to the Distribution and Aftermarket business.

Speaker #3: This reinforces our presence as a credible gas power solutions partner and further strengthens our position in industrial gas-based power solutions, as well as our investments in advanced fuel-agnostic technologies.

Speaker #3: Last quarter, we also established a dedicated subsidiary for our defense business called Kirloskar Advanced Systems Limited. India’s defense opportunity is expanding rapidly, and our position here is unusual.

Speaker #3: The research, development, and intellectual property are entirely indigenous. That allows us to offer global-standard solutions that directly reinforce national capability. We are building this deliberately and for the long term.

Speaker #3: Now, coming to the distribution and aftermarket business. The distribution and aftermarket business is, in many ways, the truest measure of our franchise. It cannot be bought with a quarter of good pricing; it grows only where the installed base is large, the service network reaches, and the customer chooses to come back.

Gauri Kirloskar: The Distribution and Aftermarket business is in many ways the truest measure of our franchise. It cannot be bought with a quarter of good pricing. It grows only where the installed base is large, the service network reaches, and the customer chooses to come back. This quarter, it grew across every channel led by service, which brings resilience and healthy cash generation alongside that loyalty. We completed our first end-to-end turnkey repowering high horsepower project. A 1,010 kVA installation won in direct competition, a signal of how far the capability now extends. On the International business. As expected, our International business remained affected by geopolitical developments and delayed customer investment decisions across several regions. The Middle East region is an important export market for us, and it continued to operate below normal levels, impacting both business mix and operating leverage during the quarter.

Speaker #3: This quarter, it grew across every channel, led by service, which brings resilience and healthy cash generation alongside that loyalty. And we completed our first end-to-end turnkey repowering high-horsepower project.

Speaker #3: A 1,010 kVA installation was won in direct competition, a signal of how far the capability now extends. On the international business front, as expected, our international business remained affected by geopolitical developments and delayed customer investment decisions across several regions.

Speaker #3: The Middle East region is an important export market for us, and it continued to operate below normal levels, impacting both business mix and operating leverage during the quarter.

Speaker #3: While these conditions affected our international performance, we remain committed to our EBITDA delivery for the full year. We remain confident in the long-term opportunity and continue to engage closely with customers while preparing for demand normalization.

Gauri Kirloskar: While these conditions affected our international performance, we remain committed to our EBITDA delivery for the full year. We remain confident in the long-term opportunity and continue to engage closely with customers while preparing for demand normalization. On KOEL Fluid Dynamics, our fluid dynamics business was broadly flat year-on-year at INR 294 crore, with domestic sales up and exports down. Underneath that flat headline, however, the business strengthened materially. Channel pump business more than doubled, and we delivered our highest ever V8 submersible output. On the balance sheet, total borrowings reduced from INR 167 crore to INR 77 crore. Working capital improved by 11 days and our credit rating was upgraded to double A. This is a business that is being made structurally healthier while it waits for its exports markets to recover. On Arka reported revenue of INR 210 crore, a growth of 9%.

Speaker #3: Channel pump business more than doubled, and we delivered our highest-ever V8 submersible output. On the balance sheet, total borrowings reduced from ₹167 crore to ₹77 crore, working capital improved by 11 days, and our credit rating was upgraded to AA.

Speaker #3: This is a business that is being made structurally healthier while it waits for its export markets to recover. On ARCA, ARCA reported revenue of ₹210 crore, a growth of 9%.

Speaker #3: Assets under management stood at ₹7,651 crore at the end of the quarter. The team has crossed 1,800 employees across approximately 136 branches, which gives it a considerably stronger platform for the growth ahead.

Gauri Kirloskar: Assets under management stood at INR 7,651 crore at the end of the quarter. The team has crossed 1,800 employees across approximately 136 branches, which gives it a considerably stronger platform for the growth ahead. I'll talk a little bit about profitability. Turning to profitability, EBITDA for the quarter reflected three primary factors: lower export volumes, elevated commodity costs, and the timing difference between cost inflation and price realization. Importantly, this is not a reflection of any deterioration in the competitiveness of our businesses. Across virtually all of our businesses, we have already implemented pricing actions. Given the nature of contracts and customer agreements, realization occurs over different time frames. As these pricing actions progressively flow through over the coming quarters, supported by our ongoing cost optimization and operational excellence initiatives, we expect profitability to improve.

Speaker #3: Now, I'll talk a little bit about profitability. Turning to profitability, EBITDA for the quarter reflected three primary factors: lower export volumes, elevated commodity costs, and the timing difference between cost inflation and price realization.

Speaker #3: Importantly, this is not a reflection of any deterioration in the competitiveness of our businesses. Across virtually all of our businesses, we have already implemented pricing actions.

Speaker #3: However, given the nature of contracts and customer agreements, realization occurs over different time frames. As these pricing actions progressively slow over the coming quarters, supported by our ongoing cost optimization and operational excellence initiatives, we expect profitability to improve.

Speaker #3: On the consolidated level, COEL delivered revenue of approximately ₹1,772 crore during the quarter, reflecting healthy growth despite a challenging external environment. Our power and energy businesses continue to perform well, while COEL's Fluid Dynamics maintains stable domestic performance despite export headwinds. ARKA Financial Services continued its growth trajectory with higher revenue.

Gauri Kirloskar: On a consolidated level, KOEL delivered revenue of approximately INR 1,772 crore during the quarter, reflecting healthy growth despite a challenging external environment. Our power and energy businesses continue to perform well while KOEL Fluid Dynamics maintains stable domestic performance despite export headwinds and Arka Financial Services continued its growth trajectory with higher revenue, expanding assets under management and a broader national footprint. I'll make some remarks now on engineering and technology. Beyond delivering another quarter of strong domestic execution, we continue to build the next generation of growth platforms that will define KOEL's future. Our investments in modular OptiPrime power systems for AI data centers, gas-based distributed power, defense, high horsepower engines, and advanced industrial applications are steadily expanding our addressable market and creating new avenues for long-term growth.

Speaker #3: Expanding assets under management and a broader national footprint. Some remarks now on engineering and technology: Beyond delivering another quarter of strong domestic execution, we continue to build the next generation of growth platforms that will define KOEL's future.

Speaker #3: Our investments in modular OptiPrime power systems for AI data centers, gas-based distributed power, defense, high-horsepower engines, and advanced industrial applications are steadily expanding our addressable market and creating new avenues for long-term growth.

Speaker #3: The OptiPrime hybrid power systems, although developed with AI data centers in mind, are also relevant to microgrids, industrial prime power, utilities, and other applications where fast-changing loads and resilient operation are essential.

Gauri Kirloskar: The OptiPrime hybrid power systems, although developed with AI data centers in mind, the architecture is also relevant to microgrids, industrial prime power, utilities, and other applications where fast-changing loads and resilient operations are essential. We look ahead, we remain encouraged by the underlying momentum across our businesses. India continues to present attractive opportunities across infrastructure, industrialization, power reliability, and manufacturing. At the same time, we are building entirely new growth engines through our global expansion, data center power solutions, gas-based power systems, defense, high horsepower engines, and advanced combustion technologies. These initiatives, combined with the strength of our domestic franchise and disciplined execution, position KOEL well for sustainable long-term growth. In summary, while the external environment remains dynamic, the fundamentals of our business have strengthened considerably. Our strategy is delivering results.

Speaker #3: As we look ahead, we remain encouraged by the underlying momentum across our businesses. India continues to present attractive opportunities across infrastructure, industrialization, power reliability, and manufacturing.

Speaker #2: Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. We'll take the first question from Priyank Ank Biswas from JM Financial.

Speaker #2: Please proceed.

Priyank Biswas: Thanks for the opportunity. Congratulations to you that despite, let's say, the export headwinds, I would say, a very strong performance on the domestic side first of all. My first question is, we have had this announcement on this large hyperscaler order. Can you just elaborate a bit more about that? Because there is this concern that probably the customer that from which we have secured the order from may not be having a significant experience in this space. Furthermore, otherwise, how do you see the data center prospects for you in particular, because in the coming year, given that we have a very strong incumbent in the market? That's the first question.

Priyankar Biswas: Thanks for the opportunity. Congratulations to you that despite, let's say, the export headwinds, I would say, a very strong performance on the domestic side first of all. My first question is, we have had this announcement on this large hyperscaler order. Can you just elaborate a bit more about that? Because there is this concern that probably the customer that from which we have secured the order from may not be having a significant experience in this space. Furthermore, otherwise, how do you see the data center prospects for you in particular, because in the coming year, given that we have a very strong incumbent in the market? That's the first question.

Speaker #3: Thanks for the opportunity, and congratulations to you that despite the export headwinds, I would say there was a very strong performance on the domestic side, first of all.

Speaker #3: My first question is, we have had this announcement on these large hyperscaler orders. Can you just elaborate a bit more about that? Probably the customer from whom we have secured the order may not have a large or significant experience in this space.

Speaker #3: And furthermore, otherwise, how do you see the data center prospects for you in particular? Because in the coming year, given that we have a very strong incumbent in the market—that's the first question.

Speaker #1: Thanks for your question. So, data centers represent an important structural opportunity because they require high reliability and rapid response, robust control, and strong lifecycle support.

Sachin Kejriwal: Thanks for your question. Data centers represent an important structural opportunity because they require high reliability and rapid response, robust control and strong lifecycle support, all areas that are aligned with KOEL's power system capabilities. Q1 was strategically significant because, as you mentioned, we secured our first hyperscale data center order of approximately 192 MW. We view that as a reference point rather than endpoint. Our immediate objective is to execute this order extremely well and establish KOEL as a credible HHP ultra high horsepower alternate for hyperscalers, co-location players, and EPC partners. We are strengthening product capability, testing, supply chain readiness, controls, and service support around this opportunity. We will be disciplined about distinguishing pipeline from actual orders and actual revenue.

Speaker #1: All areas are aligned with KOEL's power system capabilities. Q1 was strategically significant because, as you mentioned, we secured our first hyperscale data center order of approximately 192 megawatts.

Speaker #1: We viewed that as a reference point rather than an endpoint. Our immediate objective is to execute this order extremely well and establish KOEL as a credible HHP ultra-high-force power alternate provider for hyperscalers.

Speaker #1: Co-located players and EPC partners. We are strengthening product capabilities, testing, supply chain readiness, controls, and service support around this opportunity. And we will be disciplined about distinguishing pipeline from actual orders and actual revenue.

Speaker #3: Look, what I meant was, let's say the customer profile that you have for this particular order—do they have any relevant experience in construction of data centers, or what's their track record?

Priyank Biswas: No, what I meant about was, let's say the customer profile for this particular order. Do they have any relevant experience in construction of data centers or what's the track record? Where do we get comfort on the customer in this particular case? Is there further orders that you are in negotiations on that we can see visibility in the coming, let's say, quarter? The question was more meant around that.

Priyankar Biswas: No, what I meant about was, let's say the customer profile for this particular order. Do they have any relevant experience in construction of data centers or what's the track record? Where do we get comfort on the customer in this particular case? Is there further orders that you are in negotiations on that we can see visibility in the coming, let's say, quarter? The question was more meant around that.

Speaker #3: So, where do we get the comfort of the customer in this particular case? And are there further orders that you are in negotiations for, which we can expect to see visibility on in the coming quarter?

Speaker #3: So the question was more meant around that.

Speaker #1: Yeah, I think, look, on the customer end, we continue to work with multiple customers. And in this case, there is one that has materialized with the purchase orders.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah, I think, look, on the customer end, we continue to work with multiple customers. In this case, there is one that has materialized with the purchase order. Now, we do our checks and balances. Beyond that on further orders, that is internal enterprise information. At this point in time, there are many customers who are entering the data center segment and we get queries all the time, so it's not unusual for us.

Speaker #1: Now, we do our checks and balances beyond that on further orders; that is internal and proprietary information. But at this point in time, there are many customers who are entering the data center segment.

Speaker #1: And we get queries all the time, so it's not unusual for us.

Speaker #3: Okay, that's very helpful. And also, sir, if we just squeeze one more in before I fall back into the queue, in this particular quarter, I see that there is a on the standalone numbers specifically, I see that there is a sharp increase in the employee cost.

Priyank Biswas: Okay, that's very helpful. Also, sir, if I can squeeze one more in before I fall back into the queue. In this particular quarter, on the standalone numbers specifically, I see that there is a sharp increase in the employee cost. Roughly around, if I were to say, 22% quarter on quarter, and let's say close to 40% YOY. Is this the run rate that we should look at, or is there some one-off element within that? If you can clarify.

Priyankar Biswas: Okay, that's very helpful. Also, sir, if I can squeeze one more in before I fall back into the queue. In this particular quarter, on the standalone numbers specifically, I see that there is a sharp increase in the employee cost. Roughly around, if I were to say, 22% quarter on quarter, and let's say close to 40% YOY. Is this the run rate that we should look at, or is there some one-off element within that? If you can clarify.

Speaker #3: So, roughly, if I were to say, like 22% quarter-on-quarter and let's say close to 40% year-on-year, is this the run rate that we should look at, or is there some one-off element within that?

Speaker #3: If you can clarify.

Speaker #1: Yes, I will elaborate on this. Employee-related expenses increased materially year-on-year. Our Q1 bridge indicates an increase of approximately ₹31 crore. And you rightly mentioned that this is a 40% increase.

Sachin Kejriwal: I will elaborate this. Employee related expense increased materially year on year. Our Q1 bridge indicates an increase of approximately INR 31 billion, and you rightly mentioned that is 40% increase. There are several components, basically, to this increase. The number one is annual increments. Number two is ESOP related expense, because we want to reward our high performing employees. There is a capability addition and investment supporting future growth programs. Some of these costs are structural and some are timing related, and we don't want to characterize all of them as one-off. What matters is the return on that cost base. As revenue scales, particularly in international high horsepower and aftermarket business, we need to demonstrate better fixed cost absorption going forward and productivity. This is an explicit management priority right now.

Speaker #1: And there are several components, basically, to this increase. Number one is annual increments. Number two is ESOP-related expense, because we want to reward our high-performing employees.

Speaker #1: Then there is capability addition and investment supporting future growth programs. So, some of these costs are structural and some are timing-related. We don't want to characterize all of them as one-off.

Speaker #1: What matters is the return on that cost base. As revenue scales, particularly in international high-horsepower and aftermarket business, we need to demonstrate better fixed cost absorption going forward, as well as improved productivity.

Speaker #1: And this is an explicit management priority right now.

Speaker #3: Okay.

Priyank Biswas: Okay.

Priyankar Biswas: Okay.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Ankur Periwal from Axis Capital. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Ankur Periwal from Axis Capital. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Ankur Periwal from Axis Capital. Please proceed.

Speaker #3: Yeah, hi. Thank you for the opportunity, and congratulations on a good set of numbers. First question on the revenue growth, especially on the Powergen and the Industrial side.

Ankur Periwal: Yeah. Hi, thank you for the opportunity and congratulations on a good set of numbers. First question on the revenue growth, especially on the power gen and the industrial side. Just trying to get your sense on one, have we started seeing the revenue contribution from NPCIL and Defense, the marine contract that we had won in this quarter? Secondly, if you can directionally give some thoughts on what is driving the growth. Is it largely led by the Optiprime or the HHP series or the LHP, MHP? How the growth is panning out there. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Just trying to get your sense on one—have we started seeing the revenue contribution from MPCL and Defense, the marine contract that we had done?

Speaker #3: In this quarter. And secondly, if you can, directionally, give some thoughts on what is driving the growth. Is it largely led by the optimizing, or the HHP series, or the LHP, MHP?

Speaker #3: How is the growth coming out there? Thanks.

Speaker #1: Ankur, just to give you clarity on this MPCL order execution: we have mentioned in the past several times that these are milestone-based. We are at the execution stage right now.

Sachin Kejriwal: Ankur, just to give you clarity on this NPCIL order execution, we have mentioned in the past several times that those are milestone based, and we are at the execution stage right now, and some of the revenue will start flowing in this financial year, and the remaining will come in coming years, basically. On Defense and marine, we see a lot of opportunity when Gauri spoke in her opening remarks. We'll continue to focus on those segments.

Speaker #1: And some of the revenue will start flowing in this financial year, and the remaining will come in the coming quarters—coming years, basically. And on defense and marine, we see a lot of opportunity. Even Gory spoke in her opening remarks.

Speaker #1: So, we'll continue to focus on those segments.

Speaker #3: So, no contribution in this quarter specifically, right?

Ankur Periwal: No contribution in this quarter specifically, right?

Speaker #1: No, Ankur. Especially on this MPCL order, there was no contribution in this quarter.

Sachin Kejriwal: No, Ankur. Especially on this NPCIL order, there was no contribution in this quarter.

Speaker #3: Sure. And on the growth in HHP and the mid and smaller ones, if you can separate that. Is the largest part of the growth coming from HHP, or is it well distributed across?

Ankur Periwal: Sure. On the growth in HHP and even the mid and smaller ones, if you can suggest that. Is the largest part of growth coming from HHP or it's well distributed across?

Speaker #1: So even if, let's say, we don't give out the individual numbers, the largest chunk of growth—while it's coming from HHP—is still lower in terms of contribution because of the base.

Sachin Kejriwal: We don't give out the individual numbers, but the largest chunk of growth, while it's coming from HHP, it's still lower because of the base. I don't have anything specific to call out other than HHP. Actually, we're seeing growth right across.

Speaker #1: So I don't have anything specific to call out, other than HHP is actually—we're seeing growth right across.

Speaker #3: Okay, fair enough. And just secondly, on the RN inflation pass-through, we are now seeing around a 60–70 basis-point decline on a year-on-year basis in our gross margin.

Ankur Periwal: Okay, fair enough. Just secondly, on the RM inflation pass-through, now we are seeing around 60, 70 basis points decline on a year-on-year basis in our gross margin. One, was there any benefit of price hike in this quarter? If you can suggest on the price hike side, are we largely covered off, post the recent price hikes that we took?

Speaker #3: One, was there any benefit from the price hike in this quarter? And if you can suggest on the price hike side, are we largely covered off with both the recent price hikes that we took?

Speaker #1: Yeah, so we have been proactively taking price rises. If you look at Power Gen, it's different; it's different in Industrial. Because in Industrial, you have customer-wise contracts.

Sachin Kejriwal: Yeah. We have been proactively taking price rises. If you look at power gen, it's different. It's different in industrial, because in industrial you have customer-wise contracts. It's different in distribution and aftermarket and, of course, on Fluid Dynamics side is totally different. Not all of the realization will come in this quarter. The realization is going to be staged, but our effort is to ensure that we pass on the inflation to the extent that we can and protect our margins.

Speaker #1: It's different in distribution and aftermarket. And of course, on the fluid dynamics side, it's totally different. Not all of the realization will come in this quarter.

Speaker #1: So, the realization is going to be staged. But our effort is to ensure that we pass on the inflation to the extent that we can and protect our margins.

Speaker #3: Sure. That's helpful. I'll get back to the queue. Thank you, and all the best.

Ankur Periwal: Sure, Rahul. That's helpful. I'll get back to the queue. Thank you and all the best.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of G2 Punjabi from EM Invest Co Capital Advisors Private Limited. You may proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Jeetu Panjabi from EM Investco Capital Advisors Private Limited. You may proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Jeetu Panjabi from EM Investco Capital Advisors Private Limited. You may proceed.

Speaker #4: Hi, hi, hi, Gauri. Rahul, Sergeant team, all of you all—look, two pointed questions. One, we've seen weakness in the international business. Now, can you give us a little bit of color with geos?

Jeetu Panjabi: Hi, Gauri, Rahul, Sachin, team, all of you all. Two pointed questions. One, we've seen weakness in the international business. Can you give us a little bit of color which years this happened in, and what are the current trends you're seeing, and what is your view on how this plays out over the next three, six months? Two, the raw material attribution, Gauri, that you talked about in your opening comments as the reasons for margin decline, along with the possible mix. Can you talk a little bit about the pass-ons that happened, and when do you see reversion to recent trends in margin? Six months, 12, nine months, I don't know. Would love your thoughts on that.

Speaker #4: This happened in—and what are the current trends you're seeing, and what is your view on how this plays out over the next three to six months?

Speaker #4: And two, the raw material attribution, Gauri, that you could talk about in your opening comments as the reasons for margin decline, along with possibly the mix.

Speaker #4: Can you talk a little bit about the pass-ons that happened, and when do you see a reversion to recent trends in margin? Six months, twelve, nine months? I don't know.

Speaker #4: Would love your thoughts on that.

Speaker #1: Hi, Jitu. So, just from the regions, a lot of our business today comes from the Middle East region. And due to the conflict in West Asia, we had logistics queues that were choked.

Rahul Sahai: Hi, Jeetu. Just some of the regions. A lot of our business today comes from the Middle East region, and due to the conflict in West Asia, we had logistics queues that were choked. As a result, even where we had orders, some of the fulfillments could not happen. That's one. Just from an inflation attribution standpoint, our endeavor, like I said, is just to ensure that we proactively pass on the price increases. The realization of that has varied. In Q1, we've seen some impact, but as management, our full endeavor is to ensure we pass on price increases.

Speaker #1: And as a result, even where we had orders, some of the fulfillments could not happen. So that's one. And just from an inflation attribution standpoint, our endeavor, like I said, is just to ensure that we proactively pass on the price increases.

Speaker #1: The realization of that has varied. So, in Q1, we've seen some impact, but as management, our full endeavor is to ensure we pass on price increases.

Speaker #3: Oh, is there a timeline

Jeetu Panjabi: Is there a timeline when you see this more normal, I mean, greater normalization of both these metrics? Is a three to six months horizon reasonable to broadly say that happens?

Speaker #4: When do you see this becoming more normal? I mean, getting a normalization of both these metrics. Is a three- to six-month horizon reasonable to broadly say that happens?

Speaker #1: Yeah, I think so. I mean, look, we are all keenly watching out. We do see the queues opening up, so it's more a question of just ensuring that the supply chain and the fulfillment are happening properly.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah, I think so. Look, we're all keenly watching out. We do see the queues opening up, it's more a question of just ensuring that the supply chain and the fulfillment is happening properly. We do have demand, we do have opportunities also available for execution, but we're carefully watching. I would say three to six months is a fairly reasonable assumption.

Speaker #1: We do have demand, and we do have opportunities also available for execution. But we're carefully watching. I would say three to six months is a fairly reasonable assumption.

Speaker #4: Okay, great going. Thank you so much. Best wishes, as always.

Jeetu Panjabi: Okay, great going. Thank you so much. Good wishes as always.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Thank you.

Rahul Sahai: Thank you.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Teena Virmani from Motilal Oswal Financial Services. You may proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Teena Virmani from Motilal Oswal Financial Services. You may proceed.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Tina Vimani from Motilal Oswal Financial Services. You may proceed.

Speaker #5: Yes, thanks. Thanks for taking my question. Hi, Rahul. Hi, Gauri. So, my question is related to the demand traction that you would have seen in Q1 and, even going forward also.

Teena Virmani: Yeah, thanks for taking my question. Hi, Rahul. Hi, Gauri. My question is related to the demand traction that you would have seen in Q1 and even going forward also. How is the demand traction panning out for KOEL in nodes below 750 kVA and also in the above 750 kVA nodes, particularly from the other HHP type of requirements may not be completely from hyperscaler or data center. How is the demand panning out for your OptiPrime product and even the below 750 kVA nodes?

Speaker #5: Like how is the demand traction panning out for coil in nodes below 750 KVA and also in the above 750 KVA nodes? Particularly from the other HHP type of requirements, may not be completely from hyperscaler or data center, but how is the demand panning out for your OptiPrime product?

Speaker #5: And even the below 750 KVA nodes.

Rahul Sahai: Hey, Tina. Nice to hear from you. Look, just from a domestic franchise that we are building out and the level of, I would say, strength that we are showing on the domestic side, especially if I, for a moment, leave out data centers, we're quite satisfied with that. We're present in all the opportunities that we need to be in. We may not win everything, but I think we're certainly gaining in strength in terms of our market presence below 750 kVA, for sure. I mean, overwhelmingly so. Our full focus is to also build that out over 750 kVA.

Speaker #1: Hey, Tina. So nice to hear from you. Look, just from a domestic franchise that we are building out and the level of, I would say, strength that we are showing on the domestic side—especially if I, for a moment, leave out data center—we're quite satisfied with that.

Speaker #1: We are seeing that we're present in all the opportunities that we need to be in. We may not win everything, but I think we're certainly gaining in strength in terms of our market presence.

Speaker #1: Below 750 KVA, for sure. I mean, overwhelmingly so. And our full focus is to also build that out over 750 KVA.

Speaker #5: So basically, as you mentioned in your TPT, you've gained market share. So, this gain in market share would primarily be coming in the below 750 KVA nodes?

Teena Virmani: Basically that you mentioned that in your PPT that you have gained market share. This gain in the market share would primarily be coming in in the below 750 kVA nodes?

Speaker #1: Yes, that would be correct. Even above 750 KVA, we've gained market share, but it's just a smaller base, so it's not significant at this point.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah. That would be correct. Even above 750 kVA, we've gained market share, but it's just a smaller base, so it's not significant at this point.

Speaker #5: Right, right. And also, you don't generally specify the pricing element, but in this 18% growth in PowerGen revenue, would it be possible to broadly quantify—not maybe give an exact indication, but a broad indication—how much is pricing-led and how much is due to normal volume growth?

Teena Virmani: Right. Also you don't specify generally the pricing element, but in this 18% growth in power gen revenue, will that be possible to broadly quantify? Not maybe an exact indication, but a broad indication, how much can be the pricing-led element and how much can be the normal volume-led growth?

Speaker #1: Tina, we don't normally specify that, and also the realization has varied across the quarter. So, it could be hard for us to truly comment on that convincingly.

Rahul Sahai: Tina, we don't normally specify that, and also the realization has varied across the quarter, so it could be hard for us to truly comment on that convincingly.

Speaker #5: Okay. But the price increases that you have taken, you have taken both on the HHP side and also on the non-HHP side.

Teena Virmani: Okay. The price increases that you would have taken, you have taken both in the HHP side also and even in the non-HHP side also. Is that the right understanding?

Speaker #5: Is that the right understanding?

Speaker #1: So, the way to think about it is that price increases can be readily passed on when the product is more distribution-led. Otherwise, it is contract and tender specific.

Rahul Sahai: The way to think about it is, price increases can be readily passed on when the product is more distribution-led. Otherwise, it is contract and tender specific. As a theme, that could be a fair understanding.

Speaker #1: But as a theme, that could be a fair understanding.

Speaker #5: Understood. Understood. I have more questions. I'll come back in the queue.

Teena Virmani: Understood. I have more questions. I'll come back in between.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Prolin Nandu from Edelweiss Public Alternatives. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Prolin Nandu from Edelweiss Public Alternatives. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Prolin Nandu from Edelweiss Public Alternatives. Please proceed.

Speaker #3: Yeah. Hi, Gauri and Rahul. Thank you for taking my question. The first question would be since the since we have announced this order, right, in data center, how has been the interest from the prospective customers change, right?

Prolin Nandu: Yeah. Hi, Gauri and Rahul. Thank you for taking my question. The first question would be, since we have announced this order in data center, how has been the interest from the prospective customers change? Because in a way, this is like a first proof of the pudding in some sense. How has the conversation changed? In the same breath, can you just tell us the journey through which Kirloskar Oil has been to arrive at this state? Because it required a significant change in the way we sell things and also on the product side, in terms of our product offering. Can you just help us understand how has the conversation changed since we have announced this order?

Speaker #3: Because in a way, this is like a first proof of the pudding in some sense. So, how has the conversation changed? And in the same breath, can you just tell us the journey through which Kirloskar Oil has been to arrive at this state, right?

Speaker #3: Because it required a significant change in the way we sell things, and also on the product side, right? In terms of our product offering.

Speaker #3: So, can you just help us understand how the conversation has changed since we announced this order? And also, how has the journey been so far, and what else needs to be done from your end to achieve our targeted market share in high horsepower, specifically for the data center part of it?

Prolin Nandu: Also, how has been the journey so far, and what all needs to be done from here to achieve our targeted market share in the High Horsepower and specifically for the data center part of it?

Speaker #1: So, I think this focus on the data center segment has involved a lot of effort on our part. There are many upskilling programs that we've driven internally.

Sachin Kejriwal: I think just focusing on the data center segment, there's been a lot of effort that we've put in. There are a lot of upskilling programs that we've internally driven. We are engaged with most data centers today. We've also executed a whole bunch of orders with, whether it's edge or enterprise data centers. All of that has already happened. This particular order just happens to be an order which is with larger data centers. Now the conversations continue to progress with a lot of our customers. We are looking at a whole bunch of different solutions, ranging from behind the meter solutions to hybrid solutions for our customers, as well as OptiPrime that we spoke of earlier.

Speaker #1: We are engaged with most data centers today. We've also executed a whole bunch of orders, whether it's edge or enterprise data centers, so all of that has already happened.

Speaker #1: This particular order just happens to be an order with a larger data center. Now, the conversations continue to progress with a lot of our customers.

Speaker #1: We are looking at a whole bunch of different solutions, ranging from behind-the-meter solutions to customers, as well as OptiPrime that we spoke of earlier.

Speaker #1: So, we have a fairly strong suite of products now, and we're fairly confident that we will continue to gain traction as we move ahead, because the efforts are going in.

Sachin Kejriwal: We have a fairly strong suite of products now, and we're fairly confident that we will continue to gain traction as we move ahead because the efforts are going in.

Speaker #3: Okay. And on the employee cost side, right, while you mentioned that there have been some hikes and some capability building, but 40% is usually a very large number, right, in some sense. While it's a quarterly number, I agree with that.

Prolin Nandu: On the employee cost side, while you mentioned that there have been some hikes and some capability building, 40% is usually a very large number, right? In some sense, while it's a quarterly number, I agree with that, but there has to be some kind of a specific capability also which you are building, right, in some sense. Just some more texture on this 40% year-on-year growth in employee cost. Is it a specific capability that we are building and which should probably normalize and probably either lead to revenue or normalize over the coming quarters? Some more color on that hike or that rise would help.

Speaker #3: But there has to be some kind of specific capability also that you are building, right, in some sense? So just some more texture on this 40% year-on-year growth in employee cost.

Speaker #3: Is it a specific capability that we are building, and which should probably normalize and either lead to revenue or normalize over the coming quarter?

Speaker #3: Some more color on that hike or that rise would help.

Speaker #1: So, as an organization, we mentioned that we'll continue to invest in our capability addition and growth programs. And, as I mentioned, as the revenue scales—particularly in the international HHP and aftermarket business—we need to demonstrate better fixed cost absorption and productivity.

Sachin Kejriwal: As an organization, we mentioned that we'll continue to invest in our capability addition and invest in supporting future growth programs. As I mentioned that as the revenue scales, particularly in the international HHP and aftermarket business, we need to demonstrate better fixed cost absorption and productivity.

Speaker #3: Thank you so much. All the very best.

Prolin Nandu: Thank you so much. All the very best.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Bharat C. Shah from BCS Capital Ideas Private Limited. You may proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Bharat C. Shah from BCS Capital Ideas Private Limited. You may proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Bharat C. Shah from BCS Capital Ideas Private Limited. You may proceed.

Speaker #4: Yeah, hi. Thank you. Just wanted to revisit our view of the future. So, barring our financial services business, on the rest of the manufacturing activity—from a turnover of about ₹7,200-odd crore in, let us say, last year—should we say in three years' time there should be kind of a doubling, given all the opportunity in the product portfolio that now we are rapidly developing?

Bharat C. Shah: Hi. Thank you. Just wanted to revisit our view of the future. Barring our financial services business, on the rest of the manufacturing activity, from a turnover of about INR 7,200 odd, let us say, last year, should we say in 3 years' time, there should be kind of doubling given all the opportunity in the product portfolio that now we are rapidly developing. If that is the case, will the margin and the profitability likely to inch up from where it has been till now?

Speaker #4: And if that is the case, will the margin and the profitability likely inch up from where they have been till now?

Speaker #1: So we have already laid down our five-year strategic plan, Mr. Bharat. As you recall, we launched to create a $2 billion revenue enterprise.

Sachin Kejriwal: We have already laid down our 5-year strategic plan, Mr. Bharat. You recall that we launched to create a $2 billion revenue enterprise by FY30. We are not giving a year-wise breakup. By FY30, we should be close to INR 16,600 crore company. On the margin front, definitely we would like to earn a higher double-digit EBITDA margin.

Speaker #1: By FY30, so we are not going for a year-wise breakup. So, by FY30, we should be close to a ₹16,600 crore company. And on the margin front, definitely, we would like to earn higher double-digit EBITDA margins.

Bharat C. Shah: The higher double-digit EBITDA margin we already are in since last 2, 3 years, in the range of 17% to 18%. I'm saying with the journey, the $2 billion model is at INR 16,500 crore is what that doubling of in 3 years that I was talking about. Which is fine, but margin, I suppose, with that journey improve, or do you believe the current margins are satisfying and more or less it should be on these lines?

Speaker #3: No. I think the higher double-digit EBITDA margin, we already are at. Since last two, three years, in the vendor 17, 18 percent. So I'm saying with the journey, the $2 billion more or less at 16 and a half thousand is what that doubling of in three years that I was talking about.

Speaker #3: So, which is fine. But margins—I suppose with the journey improving, or do you believe the current margins are satisfactory and more or less should remain on these lines?

Speaker #1: No, so Mr. Bharat, our endeavor is to improve the margin from here on. Even if you look at our journey over the last three years, we have improved our margin by more than 400 basis points.

Sachin Kejriwal: No. Mr. Bharat, our endeavor is to improve the margin from here on. Even if you look at our journey for the last 3 years, we have improved our margin by more than 400 basis points, and we'll continue to work on margin improvement going forward also. I don't want to give a specific range that where we'll land at FY30.

Speaker #1: And we'll continue to work on margin improvement going forward as well. But I don't want to give a specific range of where we'll land in FY30.

Speaker #4: Sure. No. Thank you.

Bharat C. Shah: Sure. No, thank you. Suffice it to say, it will be likely to be better than where we have been in these couple of years.

Speaker #3: So, FY30, say, it will likely be better than where we have been in these couple of years.

Sachin Kejriwal: It will be very-

Speaker #1: That will be very, yeah. We hope.

Sachin Kejriwal: It will be very-

Rahul Sahai: Yeah, we hope so.

Speaker #3: Okay. Thank you.

Sachin Kejriwal: Okay. Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Before we proceed with the next question, a reminder to the participants: in order to ask a question, you may press star and one on your touch-tone telephone. We will now take the next question from the line of Priyank Biswas from GM Financial.

Operator 2: Thank you. Before we proceed with the next question, a reminder to the participants, in order to ask a question, you may press star and one on your touchtone telephone. We take the next question from the line of Priyank Biswas from JM Financial. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. Before we proceed with the next question, a reminder to the participants, in order to ask a question, you may press star and one on your touchtone telephone. We take the next question from the line of Priyank Biswas from JM Financial. Please proceed.

Speaker #2: Please proceed.

Speaker #5: Thanks for taking this follow-up. So, my question is related to distribution and the aftermarket. One of your peers, in a concall, had commented that they had significantly developed their distribution and aftermarket presence in India.

Priyank Biswas: Thanks for taking this follow-up. My question is related to the distribution and the aftermarkets. One of your peers in a con call had commented that they have significantly developed their distribution aftermarkets in India. For mission-critical, they can provide service engineers within two hours of logging a complaint, and generally within four hours pan-India. How are we in terms of service levels currently versus our peers? Also to grow the distribution, what are the initiatives that we are taking? What white spaces are there that we still need to address? If you can give some sort of a roadmap.

Priyankar Biswas: Thanks for taking this follow-up. My question is related to the distribution and the aftermarkets. One of your peers in a con call had commented that they have significantly developed their distribution aftermarkets in India. For mission-critical, they can provide service engineers within two hours of logging a complaint, and generally within four hours pan-India. How are we in terms of service levels currently versus our peers? Also to grow the distribution, what are the initiatives that we are taking? What white spaces are there that we still need to address? If you can give some sort of a roadmap.

Speaker #5: So, for mission-critical, they can provide service engineers within two hours of logging a complaint, and generally within four hours in India. So, how are we in terms of service levels currently versus our peers?

Speaker #5: And also, to grow the distribution, what are the initiatives that we are taking? What white spaces are there that we still need to address?

Speaker #5: If you can give some sort of a roadmap.

Rahul Sahai: Hi. Look, as far as the distribution business is concerned, we have been driving a lot of initiatives. What you will appreciate is that the business has consistently grown double digits every quarter for the last 12 quarters. Now, the initiatives that we've taken for that is upskilling of the service engineers. We have restructured our service channel. There are new product launches that are happening there is a lot of technical capability that we have driven for replacement and repowering with our engines. Overall, if I look at what is the right way to look at the results of a lot of these initiatives, it is increasing number of service contracts that we are seeing. A larger asset base is now under our service contract than what it used to be.

Speaker #1: Hi. So look, I mean, as far as the distribution business is concerned, we have been driving a lot of initiatives. And what you will appreciate is that the business has consistently grown double-digit every quarter for the last 12 quarters.

Speaker #1: Now, the initiatives that we've taken for that is upskilling of the service engineers, we have restructured our service channels, there are new product launches that are happening there, and then there is a lot of technical capability that we have driven for replacement and repowering with our engines.

Speaker #1: So overall, if I look at how—what is the right way to look at the results of a lot of these initiatives—it is increasing numbers of service contracts that we are seeing.

Speaker #1: So a larger asset base is now under our service contract than what it used to be. And distribution and aftermarket are something that is hard to build out.

Rahul Sahai: Distribution and aftermarket is something that is hard to build out. It takes time, it takes effort. Today, we are geared to support our customers, even on mission-critical applications. In several cases, even we offer two-hour service response guarantees. I would say we are fairly satisfied with the progress thus far. We still have a long way to go.

Speaker #1: So, it takes time; it takes effort. Today, we are geared to support our customers even on mission-critical applications. In several cases, we even offer our service response guarantees, so I would say we are fairly satisfied with the progress thus far.

Speaker #1: We still have a long way to go.

Speaker #5: Okay. So I can just ask, you have shown a very healthy growth—20% in this particular quarter. And I understand there may have... is what we learned from the channel.

Priyank Biswas: Okay, sir. If I can just ask, like you have shown a very healthy growth, like 20% in this particular quarter, I understand there may have been shortage of spare parts also, is what we learned from the channel. Is it possible that this sort of 20%, maybe even higher growth may be sustained in the upcoming quarter? What is your sense on that?

Priyankar Biswas: Okay, sir. If I can just ask, like you have shown a very healthy growth, like 20% in this particular quarter, I understand there may have been shortage of spare parts also, is what we learned from the channel. Is it possible that this sort of 20%, maybe even higher growth may be sustained in the upcoming quarter? What is your sense on that?

Speaker #5: So is it possible that this sort of 20, maybe even higher growth, maybe sustained in the upcoming quarter, what is your sense on that?

Speaker #1: Hello. We will continue to aspire towards the $2 billion vision—or the ambition. All businesses have an important role to play here, including distribution and aftermarket.

Rahul Sahai: Look, we will continue to aspire towards the INR 2 billion vision, or the ambition, all businesses have an important role to play there, including distribution and aftermarket. Yes.

Speaker #1: So yeah.

Speaker #5: Okay, so that's all from my side.

Priyank Biswas: Okay, sir. That's all from my side.

Priyankar Biswas: Okay, sir. That's all from my side.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Rahul Sahai: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Saurav Arya from Oaklane Capital. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Sourabh Arya from Oaklane Capital. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Sourabh Arya from Oaklane Capital. Please proceed.

Speaker #3: Yeah. Hi. Am I audible? Yeah. Yeah. Hi. Hi, Gauri. Congrats on reasonable strength in domestic business. And so my two questions are, first, again, it's a good step that we are declaring some color on our industrial business, construction, double-digit marine.

Sourabh Arya: Yeah, hi. Am I audible?

Rahul Sahai: Yeah, Saurabh. We can hear you.

Sourabh Arya: Yeah. Hi, Gauri, Sachin, and Rahul. Congratulations on reasonable trend in domestic business. My two questions are, first is, again, it's a good step that we are declaring some color on our industrial business, construction double-digit marine doubling and railway 62%. The first question is, this trend in marine and railways, of course, on a quarterly basis, these seem pretty strong, right? Is there some quarter related thing or what exactly is happening here? Is it sustainable? How should we think about these new capabilities which you have written in the annual report also, that industrial is no more about one segment, but much more than that. If you could share some thoughts here on each and every segment from the outlook perspective, that would be helpful.

Speaker #3: Doubling and railway 62%. So the first question is, so this trend in marine and railways, of course, quarterly basis, these seem pretty strong, right?

Speaker #3: So, is there some quarter-related thing or something else—what exactly is happening here? Is it sustainable? And how should we think about these new capabilities that you have also written about in the annual report—that industrial is no longer about just one segment, but much more than that?

Speaker #3: So, if you could share some thoughts here on each and every segment from their outlook perspective, that would be helpful.

Speaker #1: Okay. Thanks, Saurav, for the question. So again, within industrial, you remember that we operate out of various segments. So more specifically on railway so railway has a strong Q1 with revenue going materially year on year.

Sachin Kejriwal: Okay, thanks, Saurabh, for the question. Again, within industrial, you remember that we operate out of various segments. More specifically on railway. Railway had a strong Q1 with revenue growing materially year on year. Beyond the quarterly numbers, the opportunity is supported by new engine application and repowering opportunities. As you remember, railways are attractive because qualification creates a relatively long product life cycle, but program timing can make quarterly revenue uneven. Our focus is on converting qualification and order into repeatable execution rather than extrapolating one strong quarter. Rahul, can you answer on marine?

Speaker #1: And beyond the quarterly numbers, the opportunity is supported by new engine applications and repowering opportunities. As you remember, railways are attractive because qualification creates relatively long product lifecycles.

Speaker #1: But program timing can make quarterly revenue uneven, so our focus is on converting qualification and order into repeatable execution, rather than extrapolating one strong quarter.

Speaker #1: Raul, can you answer that?

Speaker #3: Yeah. So, look, on the marine side, it was just a question of execution. This is one of those quarters that was heavy on execution, and the billing just happened.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah. Look, on the marine, it was just a question of execution. This is one of those quarters which was heavy on execution and the billing happened. I wouldn't read into it more than that.

Speaker #3: So I wouldn't read into it more than that.

Speaker #5: Okay.

Sourabh Arya: Okay. Secondly, like Gauri mentioned in her remarks that when we see genset, the new opportunity where we have got this order, can you double-click on that? How big is this opportunity? We were not there before because we did not have gas gensets and maybe some color there.

Speaker #3: And secondly, like Gauri mentioned in her remarks, when we see GenSec, the new opportunity where we have got this order, can you double-click on that?

Speaker #3: So, how big is this opportunity? We were not there before because we did not have GraphGenSec. Maybe you could provide some color there.

Speaker #1: Yeah. So, Saurav, the way I would want us to think about it is less in terms of how big this opportunity was, but more in terms of the capability it presents.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah. Saurabh, the way I would want us to think about is less in terms of how big this opportunity was, but more in terms of the capabilities it presents. Today, we have probably the largest range of gas engine gensets that are CPCB IV+ compliant. We've executed across a wide variety of gas applications. This includes biogas, wellhead gas, piped natural gas, and even in smaller ranges, LPG, liquefied petroleum gas. The capabilities that we've deployed across gas are significant, and we go through some of our OptiPrime solutions right up to 2 megawatts. That is significant. Just for us, while this order is important and obviously significant, which is why we mentioned, but what is more significant is what it presents in the form of capabilities that are already demonstrated in CPCB IV+ compliant gas solutions.

Speaker #1: Today, we have probably the largest range of gas engine Gen Sets that are CPCB-4 compliant. We've executed across a wide variety of gas applications. This includes biogas, wellhead gas, piped natural gas, and even, in smaller ranges, LPG.

Speaker #1: Liquefied petroleum gas. So, the capabilities that we've deployed across gas are significant, and we go through some of our OptiPrime solutions right up to 2 megawatts.

Speaker #1: And that is significant. So, just for us, while this order is important and obviously significant, which is why we mentioned it, what is more significant is what it represents in the form of capabilities that are already demonstrated in CPCB4-compliant gas solutions.

Speaker #3: Sure. But this comes in the industrial side, right? This particular business—what we do with ONGs?

Sourabh Arya: Sure. This comes in the industrial side, right? This particular business, what we do with oil and gas.

Speaker #1: So the oil and gas segment is under industrial, yes.

Rahul Sahai: The oil and gas segment is under industrial, yeah.

Speaker #3: Understood. And maybe I can ask one more question. We talked a lot about this new power architecture and microgrids. Can you share at a high level exactly what you mean by this power architecture changing?

Sourabh Arya: Understood. I can maybe ask one more. We talked a lot about this new power architecture, et cetera, microgrids. Can we share some high level exactly what do you mean by this power architecture changes? What exactly we were not doing and we will be doing.

Speaker #3: And what exactly were we not doing that we will be doing?

Speaker #1: Yeah. So under our new energy vertical, there are a whole bunch of initiatives that we've been driving as far as product development is concerned.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah. Under our new energy vertically, there are a whole bunch of initiatives that we've been driving as far as product development is concerned. In fact, gas units has been one of those developments. Now, when we say microgrid, we have within the group, a sister company also, Kirloskar Solar. We are looking at deploying microgrid across customers, but power systems and gensets continue to be the mainstream. The new energy vertical is more of a program management office at this point, where we focus on development of different kind of fuel power systems. This includes ethanol, methanol, isobutanol, natural gas, all of that, and hydrogen.

Speaker #1: And in fact, gas units have been one of those developments. Now, when we say microgrids, we have within the group a sister company also, Kirloskar Solar.

Speaker #1: So, we are looking at deploying microgrids across customers. But power systems and GenSecs continue to be the mainstream. The new energy vertical is more of a program management office at this point, where we focus on developments of different kinds of fuel power systems.

Speaker #1: This includes ethanol, methanol, isobutanol, natural gas—all of that. Hydrogen.

Speaker #3: Sure. Perfect. Just maybe, if you can point to this number—so, what was the ESOP expense actually in this quarter? That would help us try to come up with the right figure.

Sourabh Arya: Sure. Perfect. Just maybe if you can point this number. What was the ESOP expense actually in this quarter? That would help us try to come up with the right conclusion.

Speaker #1: Yeah, Saurav, so we don't give those specific details.

Sachin Kejriwal: Yeah, Saurabh. We don't give that specific detail.

Speaker #3: Okay, no problem. Thank you very much. All the best.

Sourabh Arya: Okay. No problem. Thank you very much. All the best.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We will take the next question from the line of Aditya from Kotak Institutional Equities. You may proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Aditya from Kotak Institutional Equities. You may proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Aditya from Kotak Institutional Equities. You may proceed.

[Analyst] (Kotak Institutional Equities): Yeah. Congratulations team on a good set of results, and thank you for the opportunity. The first question that I had was on your gross margins for the quarter, which are not very different versus, let's say, the average numbers seen over the last seven, eight quarters. This happens in spite of unprecedented price cost increases that are happening on both the RM side, the supply chain side, freight side. Much is happening. Could you give us a sense as to how the company has been able to navigate those costs? Is it more that the company has been able to kind of trim down its own cost structure, or is it that there is sufficient room to take timely price increases?

Aditya Mongia: Yeah. Congratulations team on a good set of results, and thank you for the opportunity. The first question that I had was on your gross margins for the quarter, which are not very different versus, let's say, the average numbers seen over the last seven, eight quarters. This happens in spite of unprecedented price cost increases that are happening on both the RM side, the supply chain side, freight side. Much is happening. Could you give us a sense as to how the company has been able to navigate those costs? Is it more that the company has been able to kind of trim down its own cost structure, or is it that there is sufficient room to take timely price increases?

Speaker #4: Yeah. Congratulations, team, on a good set of results, and thank you for the opportunity. The first question that I had was on your gross margins for the quarter, which are not very different versus, let's say, the average numbers seen over the last seven or eight quarters.

Speaker #4: And this happens in spite of unprecedented price increases and cost increases that are happening on both the RM side, the supply chain side, trade side—so much is happening.

Speaker #4: So, could you give us a sense of how the company has been able to navigate those costs? Is it more that the company has been able to trim down its own cost structure, or is it that there is sufficient room to take timely price increases?

Speaker #1: So Aditya, you must have heard that, yes, the margin has contracted in this quarter, and predominantly, this has happened because of a massive increase in global commodity prices.

Sachin Kejriwal: Aditya, you must have heard that, yes, the margin has contracted in this quarter, predominantly this has happened because of massive increase in the global commodity prices, that has impacted our margin. To counter that, we have taken price increase also, as Rahul mentioned that there is a lag between the price increase and the price realization. We are working on that. Secondly, we are also working on our cost control and operational excellence. That will help us to improve the margin going forward also.

Speaker #1: And that has impacted our margin. To counter that, we have also taken a price increase. As Raul mentioned, there is a lag between the price increase and the price realization.

Speaker #1: So, we are working on that. And secondly, we are also working on our cost control and operational excellence. That will help us to improve the margin going forward as well.

Speaker #4: Thank you. Maybe I'll check my notes, because I thought that— I take it that the gross margin levels and numbers are very comparable for the quarter on a year-to-date cumulative basis.

[Analyst] (Kotak Institutional Equities): Maybe I'll check my numbers because I thought that particularly at a gross margin level, the numbers were very comparable for the quarter on a YOY and a QOQ basis. Moving ahead, wanted to also get a sense from you that as you think through, at least our sense is that the peer over here is able to extract a fairly good pricing premium in the market. As Kirloskar has been improving its offering, is it finding it easier to argue for price increases for itself and the market for the better offering that it's able to provide. That will be my second and last question.

Aditya Mongia: Maybe I'll check my numbers because I thought that particularly at a gross margin level, the numbers were very comparable for the quarter on a YOY and a QOQ basis. Moving ahead, wanted to also get a sense from you that as you think through, at least our sense is that the peer over here is able to extract a fairly good pricing premium in the market. As Kirloskar has been improving its offering, is it finding it easier to argue for price increases for itself and the market for the better offering that it's able to provide. That will be my second and last question.

Speaker #4: But moving ahead, I wanted to also get a sense from you that, as you think through your—at least our sense is that the peer over here is able to extract fairly good pricing freedom in the market.

Speaker #4: As Kirloskar has been improving its offerings, is it finding it easier to argue for price increases in the market, given the better offerings it's now able to provide?

Speaker #4: That would be my second and last question.

Speaker #1: Yeah. So, look, a lot of what the last quarter was about is being proactive in having conversations with customers on price increases. While the realization has lagged for most players, I believe we were among the first ones to start the conversations.

Sachin Kejriwal: Yeah. Look, a lot of what the last quarter was is about being proactive in having conversations with customers on price increases. While the realization has lagged for most players, I believe we were amongst the first ones to start the conversations. It's just being prudent and being fair to the business.

Rahul Sahai: Yeah. Look, a lot of what the last quarter was is about being proactive in having conversations with customers on price increases. While the realization has lagged for most players, I believe we were amongst the first ones to start the conversations. It's just being prudent and being fair to the business.

Speaker #1: So it's just being prudent and being fair to the business.

[Analyst] (Kotak Institutional Equities): Got that. Thank you for the response.

Aditya Mongia: Got that. Thank you for the response.

Speaker #4: Got that. Thank you for this point.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Darshan Parmar from Jefferies. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Darshan Parmar from Jefferies. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Darshan Parmar from Jefferies. Please proceed.

Darshan Parmar: Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. My first question is on the data center order. Could you give some sense on the execution timeline of the contract, and by when will it start contributing to our numbers?

Speaker #5: Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. My first question is on the data center order, right? So, could you give some sense of the execution timeline of the contract and by when will it start contributing to our numbers?

Speaker #1: So this is a composite contract. Basically, this includes the supply of the GenSecs, plus the O&M contract, which is for a longer period of time.

Sachin Kejriwal: This is a composite contract. Basically, this includes the supply of the gensets plus the O&M contract, which is for a longer period of time. I think for genset supply, the revenue recognition will happen in this financial year and, for the O&M contract, this will continue for at least five to six years.

Speaker #1: So, I think for GenSec supply, the revenue recognition will happen in this financial year. And for the O&M contract, this will continue for at least five to six years.

Speaker #5: Got it, sir. Thank you. And secondly, on the financial services business, Arka—what are our long-term plans? Are we planning to hive off the business going ahead, or what's our strategy for the financial services business?

Darshan Parmar: Got it, sir. Thank you. Secondly, on the financial services business, Arka, what are our long-term plans? Are we planning to hive off the business going ahead, or what's our strategy for the financial services business?

Speaker #6: Yeah. On Arka, our phases of plans—a couple of times in terms of the capital part. So from a strategic point of view, last year, we pivoted into a secure.

Gauri Kirloskar: Yeah. On Arka, I've stated those plans a couple of times in terms of the capital part. From a strategic point of view, last year we pivoted into a secure

Speaker #2: Ma'am, we are not able to hear you.

Operator 2: Ma'am, we are not able to hear you. Hello, ma'am. Are you on the line? It seems like the management's line has been disconnected. Please wait till I rejoin the management. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting patiently. The management's line has been connected. You may proceed.

Speaker #2: The management's line has been connected. You may proceed.

Speaker #6: Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Sorry about that. Not sure what happened. So, the question was on Arka, and if we have plans to hive off this business.

Gauri Kirloskar: Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Sorry about that. Not sure what happened. The question was on Arka and if we have plans to hive off this business. That is the long-term plan. It takes time, and there's a stage-wise way to get there, and those are the options that we're pursuing. We will do it in a stepwise manner, and when there's an update for you will obviously hear about it. Thank you.

Speaker #6: So, that is the long-term plan. But it takes time, and there's a stage-wise way to get there. Those are the options that we're pursuing.

Speaker #6: So, we will do it in a stepwise manner. And when there's an update for you, you will obviously hear about it. Thank you.
