Indo SMC reports strong Q1 business momentum
The company, which released its Q1 FY27 business update on Thursday, reported revenue of ₹88.12 crore, registering a 136% YoY increase. Indo SMC said it remains well placed to capitalise on rising investments in power distribution infrastructure, industrial electrification and composite material applications.
The company said its business is backed by a diversified portfolio spanning SMC, FRP and electrical components, supported by four strategically located manufacturing facilities. It is also investing in manufacturing automation, expanding production capacity and strengthening its product pipeline with offerings including metering cubicles, VCB panels and RMUs.
Earlier this week, Indo SMC secured a purchase order worth ₹66.60 crore from an Indian certified engineering company involved in heavy fabrication for sectors such as power, sugar, cement, infrastructure and railways, with operations in Maharashtra. Under the contract, the company will supply Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) panels, with execution scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2026, against the purchase order dated July 21, 2026.
Indo SMC manufactures advanced electrical enclosures, transformers, switchgear, and SMC and FRP-based products catering to the power distribution, industrial and infrastructure segments. The company operates dedicated SMC, FRP and Electrical Component divisions, with manufacturing facilities spread across Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, supported by in-house research, development and testing capabilities.
Kacholia is among India’s most closely tracked smallcap investors, with his portfolio changes closely monitored by both retail and institutional investors for signals on emerging investment opportunities and shifts in market sentiment.
