The Engine Behind the Surge
The growth was fueled by a massive order book and better plant use. According to CNBC-TV18, order inflow in the first half of FY27 soared 161% year-on-year to ₹3,283 crore. The unexecuted order book stood at a record ₹7,237 crore, providing visibility for the next 18-24 months.
Management told Investing.com that improved utilization at its Moraiya and Changodar plants drove the revenue jump. Higher volumes and operating leverage then pushed margins sharply higher. The company also benefited from price variation clauses in contracts, which help protect margins from raw material cost swings.
A One-Off Boost to Profit
It’s important to note that the reported profit figure includes a significant exceptional gain. CNBC-TV18 reported the quarter's profit was aided by an exceptional gain of ₹131.5 crore. This one-time item explains why profit growth of 118% far outpaced the 61% revenue increase.

Stripping this out, the underlying operating performance remains robust. The company's EBITDA margin expanded to 17.4% from 12.8% a year ago, as per the same report, showing genuine operational improvement.
The Road Ahead: Execution is Key
The outlook hinges on the company's ability to execute its bulging order book. Management has reiterated its FY27 guidance of 25% revenue growth and a PAT margin of 9-10%. Achieving this will require quarterly execution of ₹1,500-1,800 crore in the second half, as noted in the Investing.com transcript.
A key challenge is working capital, which stood at 154 days. The company aims to bring this below 120 days by year-end to generate positive free cash flow. Meanwhile, a new manufacturing line at Changodar is set to start around Diwali, adding crucial capacity to meet demand.

- Consolidated net profit surged 117.9% year-on-year to ₹81.4 crore in Q2 FY27, aided by a strong operational performance and a significant exceptional gain.
- Revenue grew 60.7% to ₹739.4 crore, driven by a 161% jump in half-yearly order inflow and improved plant utilization.
- The company's unexecuted order book provides strong revenue visibility, standing at ₹7,237 crore, executable over the next 18-24 months.
- Management maintained its full-year guidance, targeting 25% revenue growth and a 9-10% PAT margin for FY27.
- Working capital remains elevated at 154 days, with management targeting a reduction to below 120 days to improve cash flow.
Hexa Perspective
The quarter demonstrates Transformers & Rectifiers operating at a higher gear, capturing the tailwind from India's power transmission build-out. The record order book de-risks the revenue trajectory for the near term.
The catch is that this growth is capital-intensive. The high working capital cycle shows that scaling up consumes cash faster than it is generated. Investors are weighing the stellar top-line momentum against the execution risk and the pace of cash conversion. The stock's valuation, at a P/E of 28.9, sits at a discount to the industry, reflecting this balance.
