  35. 1:24call and seeing it uh Milworks is
  36. 1:26basically a Bangalore based company into
  37. 1:28precision engineering components. I
  38. 1:30think more details will be shared by Mr.
  39. 1:33Shrar and Mr. Madu. So without wasting
  40. 1:35time I would give the you know charge to
  41. 1:37both of them. Sir please start with
  42. 1:39giving a brief profile about your
  43. 1:41company and what are the applications
  44. 1:43how did you all start this you know
  45. 1:44company the something on the business
  46. 1:46journey if you could tell us and then
  47. 1:48you all can start. Thank you. Thank you
  48. 1:50Ainar G. Uh thank you Gian Advisers. Uh
  49. 1:53let me start off uh you know uh our
  50. 1:57growth journey story. uh myself uh and
  51. 2:01Madu we met together uh way back in 2015
  52. 2:05uh in Chennai and uh from there uh we
  53. 2:09were working in corporate companies and
  54. 2:11uh this is the time when we thought that
  55. 2:12we will move into an entrepreneurial
  56. 2:14journey and uh CNC machining and uh
  57. 2:18sheet metal uh component was uh uh one
  58. 2:22of our uh you know uh very much interest
  59. 2:25and we had carried uh those experience
  60. 2:28all our life we start we thought that we
  61. 2:30will uh get into the entrepreneur
  62. 2:32journey. This is the time when we uh you
  63. 2:36know from Chennai to Bangalore we
  64. 2:38relocated and uh invested in a small
  65. 2:41company called V3 technologies. This was
  66. 2:44a uh a partnership company and uh for
  67. 2:48more than 6 years uh we grew the company
  68. 2:51organically year on year from five
  69. 2:54machines, seven machines and up till 18
  70. 2:56machines we kept on adding uh uh
  71. 3:00organically. So this was a time in just
  72. 3:03before covid we thought that uh this is
  73. 3:05the time that we grow exponentially when
  74. 3:08the same customers asking us you know to
  75. 3:11grow big. So this is the time when uh we
  76. 3:15decided let's make it a private limited
  77. 3:18company. So V3 has been a very common uh
  78. 3:21name and uh the ROC was difficult to get
  79. 3:25us the name. So we coined this new name
  80. 3:27called Milworks Technologies Limited and
  81. 3:30uh we moved all the assets and customer
  82. 3:32base everything from V3 to Milworks. So
  83. 3:362021 November onwards uh we are now
  84. 3:39called as Milworks Technologies Limited.
  85. 3:42So initially we had only one unit with
  86. 3:45around uh 15 to 16 machines in 2021.
  87. 3:49Uh but COVID year has been uh you know a
  88. 3:52really good year for us. We doubled our
  89. 3:55top line and also the margins
  90. 3:58uh you know and uh from 2021 you know we
  91. 4:01have been growing at a much faster rate.
  92. 4:04So in uh presently we have four units uh
  93. 4:08all the four units are based out of
  94. 4:10Bangalore uh with more than 75 CNC
  95. 4:13machines and uh giving you know working
  96. 4:17for uh more than uh uh 40 customers
  97. 4:21worldwide. We've been exporting uh uh
  98. 4:25defense components, rail components and
  99. 4:28um aerospace components to around uh 16
  100. 4:32countries. uh in Europe and uh in the
  101. 4:36US. So uh our business model has been
  102. 4:40into a build to print and uh build to
  103. 4:43spec. Build to print is nothing but the
  104. 4:46customer gives us uh a very clear u u uh
  105. 4:523D drawing and a 3D model of a component
  106. 4:56and uh we may we manufacture the
  107. 4:58components as per the print. Build to
  108. 5:02spec is uh something the customer gives
  109. 5:05us uh uh a concept and then uh we design
  110. 5:10uh the component as per the application
  111. 5:12and uh then it moves to a prototype and
  112. 5:15then uh this moves uh into the
  113. 5:18manufacturing. So from the prototype to
  114. 5:21the manufacturing uh normally uh the
  115. 5:24lead times are much higher. So if you
  116. 5:27see
  117. 5:28uh build to spec and uh build to
  118. 5:32uh print you know there's a more uh you
  119. 5:35know enormous difference of uh the way
  120. 5:38we manufacture. So build to spec uh the
  121. 5:41lead times normally it takes between 6
  122. 5:44to 8 months and those are all the
  123. 5:45projects you know where the CNC
  124. 5:47machineing sheet metal bought out items
  125. 5:49we assemble them test them and give them
  126. 5:52to the customer. So normally built to
  127. 5:55specs are growing at a much uh you know
  128. 5:58higher weight. All the defense products
  129. 6:00which we are now working they're all
  130. 6:03built to spec projects and uh the rail
  131. 6:06components whatever we are making they
  132. 6:08are all uh uh they are all built to
  133. 6:11print uh models. Uh in last uh couple of
  134. 6:16years we got opportunities for uh
  135. 6:18smalltime uh acquisitions.
  136. 6:21uh we made a small acquisition uh in a
  137. 6:24aerospace uh company called Vidwan
  138. 6:27Aeronautics. We initiated this
  139. 6:29acquisition. Uh this is into uh arrow
  140. 6:33and aerero tooling component
  141. 6:35manufacturing based out of Bangalore. Uh
  142. 6:39then we also made a small investment in
  143. 6:42a spring manufacturing unit called
  144. 6:45Hindustan Springs. Uh the springs was uh
  145. 6:48uh based out of this company was based
  146. 6:51out of Mysore and uh this spring was
  147. 6:54purely into automotive but now we moved
  148. 6:57this automotive springs to uh recoil
  149. 7:01springs in the defense industry.
  150. 7:03Presently we are making trials for the
  151. 7:05defense industry.
  152. 7:07>> [clears throat]
  153. 7:07>> uh last year uh June and July we also
  154. 7:10got an um you know uh opportunity to
  155. 7:14invest in a drone company based out of
  156. 7:18uh NOA called Quickpay drones. So we
  157. 7:21made a small investment in this uh
  158. 7:24company. Presently they are executing a
  159. 7:26large order for uh 1,950
  160. 7:30drones a loitering minion drones and
  161. 7:33Milw is helping them uh you know build
  162. 7:36those drones with our own capability and
  163. 7:40uh this uh is uh ready for delivery in
  164. 7:43another uh 10 days to the ministry of
  165. 7:46defense.
  166. 7:48So uh from a component manufacturer to
  167. 7:52uh you know to an assembly this has been
  168. 7:55a growth journey and uh we have been
  169. 7:58working with uh defense industries. So I
  170. 8:01will ask Madus to talk a little bit
  171. 8:04about uh you know our journey with HL
  172. 8:07and the defense industries now how we
  173. 8:09are working uh thing. Madus why don't we
  174. 8:11talk about uh the HL?
  175. 8:15Yeah, well said. Like we have started
  176. 8:17with the small part manufacturing for
  177. 8:20the uh customers requirement especially
  178. 8:24for HL and some of the other customers
  179. 8:26including Bramhos and Islu
  180. 8:30customer used to give us the drawing and
  181. 8:33prints we used to manufacture based upon
  182. 8:35the prints. Uh now with Atmanar Bharat
  183. 8:40indigenization project we started
  184. 8:42getting into projects. So we have
  185. 8:44already won more than uh uh six uh
  186. 8:49tenders. So from the uh these projects
  187. 8:51these are all high value projects. So
  188. 8:54which we are in the race apart from like
  189. 8:57uh there is a big large tender this is
  190. 9:00on the fused lag. Uh so that we are in
  191. 9:04the almost in the final stage. This is
  192. 9:07for uh the wing substructure which is
  193. 9:10completely has to be manufactured. So
  194. 9:13the concept here is like uh HL provides
  195. 9:16us the composite
  196. 9:18material parts and uh the complete wing
  197. 9:22has to be uh the wing parts has to be
  198. 9:25manufactured in the Bangalore because of
  199. 9:27the logistics uh restrictions they just
  200. 9:30avoided other uh uh suppliers from other
  201. 9:34regions. So, so hence we have a lot of
  202. 9:38opportunity in this segment especially
  203. 9:40on the wing substructure uh complete
  204. 9:43manufacturing assembly and delivery uh
  205. 9:46to the HL. So that is one of the large
  206. 9:49uh part which we are working and apart
  207. 9:51from for many companies we already
  208. 9:55started manufacturing the parts for
  209. 9:58missile systems and missile launchers.
  210. 10:01So this is including Lbit system and uh
  211. 10:04II these are all in the pipeline
  212. 10:06already. We do have the PO. So the
  213. 10:09development activities are going on at
  214. 10:12our facility.
  215. 10:16So uh thank you Majasir for uh you know
  216. 10:19updating on this thing. Presently we uh
  217. 10:22presently we are working with seven
  218. 10:24divisions of HL which includes uh uh
  219. 10:27NASC engine division in Bangalore uh a
  220. 10:31DC helicopter uh Lucknau uh and KPUR.
  221. 10:35All these divisions uh we have been
  222. 10:37working at the component level but very
  223. 10:39recently we have been uh selected for
  224. 10:42the assemblies s subasssemblies
  225. 10:45uh and we have been winning uh smalltime
  226. 10:48uh tenders in uh these units. So uh what
  227. 10:52we see uh this tremendous growth which
  228. 10:55is happening in the defense sector and
  229. 10:57Milworks uh wants to be part of uh uh
  230. 11:02this growth journey in uh the Indian
  231. 11:04defense sector as well as uh Israel
  232. 11:07being our uh um close partners uh you
  233. 11:11know we have been working with them for
  234. 11:13some years now. So we have been uh
  235. 11:16working very closely on larger projects
  236. 11:18uh from uh Israel. So apart from these
  237. 11:22uh in the aerospace uh industry we work
  238. 11:26uh presently with Vipro aerospace uh and
  239. 11:30then couple of more companies uh in
  240. 11:32India where in which we are tire two for
  241. 11:35Boeing and Airbus. So we are presently
  242. 11:38not at 1 for uh Boeing and Airbus
  243. 11:41because uh we are presently not
  244. 11:44qualified in terms of uh revenue numbers
  245. 11:47as well as infrastructure for these uh
  246. 11:50two companies. uh our intention uh in
  247. 11:54next 3 years to become uh uh a tire one
  248. 11:59supplier for Airbus and uh to get
  249. 12:01qualified for Boeing uh once we have the
  250. 12:04infrastructure and uh
  251. 12:08uh infrastructure and uh the capability
  252. 12:11uh to build the aeros components. So
  253. 12:16this is a small brief about Milworks
  254. 12:19technologies. So uh I think uh I will
  255. 12:22open up for more questions rather than
  256. 12:25you know you know you know keep talking.
  257. 12:32>> Thank you so much sir for giving the
  258. 12:34brief introduction of the company and
  259. 12:36thank you Madusa. So we'll start the Q&A
  260. 12:39session now. So participants you can
  261. 12:42drop your question in the question box
  262. 12:44or also you can raise your hand for any
  263. 12:46questions. So sir I think we have a
  264. 12:48questions from Disha ma'am. So Disha
  265. 12:51ma'am we can go ahead with your
  266. 12:53question.
  267. 12:56Hello. [clears throat]
  268. 12:57Hello audible sir.
  269. 12:58>> Yeah.
  270. 12:59>> Yes you have audible ma'am.
  271. 13:01>> Yes. Thank you so much sir for this
  272. 13:03opportunity and thank you for the
  273. 13:04introduction sir. Couple of questions
  274. 13:06sir. Firstly on our current order book.
  275. 13:08So you mentioned there's a lot of
  276. 13:09traction that we see in both the
  277. 13:10aerospace and the defense segment. Could
  278. 13:12you help me with what is the current
  279. 13:13order book right now?
  280. 13:15Uh presently we have uh 145 crores of
  281. 13:18order book and uh in 145 crores uh 110
  282. 13:23is in the aerospace and uh defense and
  283. 13:27uh the rail components uh where we work
  284. 13:30very closely with also seammens and vap
  285. 13:33uh that is to the tune of around 35
  286. 13:36crores. So 145 is the present order
  287. 13:39book. But then what happens is uh uh we
  288. 13:42have not counted in this 145 the
  289. 13:44schedules. The schedule is something but
  290. 13:47uh where the customer uh keeps uh gives
  291. 13:50us a schedule where in which the orders
  292. 13:52are for the entire year and we are
  293. 13:54supposed to deliver them every month you
  294. 13:56know this uh this is in the rail sector
  295. 13:58and uh some of the defense sectors. So
  296. 14:02uh schedules are not counted. So 145
  297. 14:04crores is uh the order book which we
  298. 14:07have which we are supposed to deliver in
  299. 14:10next 6 months.
  300. 14:16>> Okay. Okay. And what sort of pipeline
  301. 14:18are we looking at? What sort of orders
  302. 14:20are currently in the advanced stage? Any
  303. 14:22sort of light on that?
  304. 14:23>> So so uh out of uh you know we are
  305. 14:26presently working on uh some of the
  306. 14:29Israel projects. We are working on uh
  307. 14:31one large uh saddle project with Elbit
  308. 14:35systems where we are expecting an uh
  309. 14:38order of 200 plus cres uh where in which
  310. 14:42partially it'll be executed before uh
  311. 14:45March uh 2027 and the remaining will
  312. 14:49percolate to next year. This is one
  313. 14:51project from Elvit Systems. uh we have a
  314. 14:54trial order and presently uh the trial
  315. 14:56order is uh being executed in our
  316. 14:59factory. Uh this is uh for the only one
  317. 15:02order. Then we are as Madusar also
  318. 15:04mentioned we are working on a hus large
  319. 15:07uh systems for HL where that is uh uh
  320. 15:11the project is worth around uh 71 crores
  321. 15:14and uh we have become L1 and then uh any
  322. 15:17moment we are likely to get the prior
  323. 15:20order which has to be executed in this
  324. 15:23current year.
  325. 15:25>> So what sort of
  326. 15:26>> yeah please go ahead. What sort of
  327. 15:28growth sir do we look like for this
  328. 15:30year? Because we have lot of projects
  329. 15:32that are scheduled for delivery this
  330. 15:33year and given the small base. So how
  331. 15:35should one look at the growth for FI27
  332. 15:37and also higher?
  333. 15:38>> Yeah. So
  334. 15:39>> and also how is FI26 been for us sir?
  335. 15:42>> I think we were expecting 120 K we able
  336. 15:45to do that? Yeah, we we already crossed
  337. 15:47that in uh FY26.
  338. 15:50uh uh we are ready with the RHP filing
  339. 15:53in next uh one or two days and uh we
  340. 15:56have closed at 146 crores
  341. 16:00and uh and uh for uh 2627
  342. 16:05uh we have a target of around 247 crores
  343. 16:09and uh you know all the pipelines you
  344. 16:12know we want to restrict to our own uh
  345. 16:14projects and presently which we are in
  346. 16:16which which we have orders and the trial
  347. 16:19orders for execution. So this will
  348. 16:21suffice us uh to achieve the target of
  349. 16:25247 crores.
  350. 16:27>> Okay. And so if I look at the margins, I
  351. 16:29think for the 8 months FI26 the data
  352. 16:30that is released there are around 43%
  353. 16:33sort of EITA margin. So how sustainable
  354. 16:35are these margins sir? And what is
  355. 16:37driving these high margins? Because I
  356. 16:38understand defense and aerospace are
  357. 16:40very highly complex projects. So they
  358. 16:42have higher margin but 43% is a very
  359. 16:44high number. So is that sustainable?
  360. 16:47the you know that uh number of 43% was
  361. 16:51uh for the 8 months uh project but uh
  362. 16:56you know as we have been uh closing on
  363. 16:58uh to
  364. 17:00>> uh you know on the 26 we have uh you
  365. 17:04know we have matured to around 35%.
  366. 17:07So our final numbers of uh 20
  367. 17:11uh 26th March it is coming to around 35
  368. 17:15and we will keep up that uh this thing
  369. 17:18for 26 27 35% is a realistic number.
  370. 17:27>> Okay. Okay. That is fair enough sir. And
  371. 17:29how should one look at the overall
  372. 17:30growth of FI28 and years going ahead and
  373. 17:33also on your capacity our current
  374. 17:35capacity what is the utilization that
  375. 17:37we're running at and what is the peak
  376. 17:39from there
  377. 17:40>> the current capacity we are uh running
  378. 17:44more than 75% now we have very few uh
  379. 17:47capacity left as part of our objectives
  380. 17:50which we have now given to BC is uh you
  381. 17:55know we are investing in 31 new CNC
  382. 17:59machines and putting up putting up this
  383. 18:02facility in our unit 4 where we have
  384. 18:0520,000 ft² space uh available. So the
  385. 18:09entire uh 31 machines in next 6 months
  386. 18:12will be installed
  387. 18:14uh in this facility. So uh to add back
  388. 18:18to your question the capacity wise we
  389. 18:20are already running more than 75%.
  390. 18:23And uh you know we are running short of
  391. 18:27time in in ordering machines. All the
  392. 18:29machines are already ordered now and
  393. 18:31they're all expected in August. So we
  394. 18:34are just waiting for the IPO to finish
  395. 18:36off and uh we just add the capacity and
  396. 18:40uh this capacity we have planned for 26
  397. 18:4427 as well as uh 2728 to achieve uh uh
  398. 18:51to the tune of around 280 crores. The
  399. 18:54new machines
  400. 18:56maximum capacity we can actually
  401. 19:01go up till 280 crores
  402. 19:04>> from the new machines that we put in
  403. 19:05>> in the new machines. Yes.
  404. 19:08>> Okay. Okay. So any sort of what what
  405. 19:10sort of valuation are we targeting for
  406. 19:12the IPO and any sort of timelines that
  407. 19:14one should look at? uh I think uh that
  408. 19:17uh you know separately off the line
  409. 19:20kirin advisor or my you know merchant
  410. 19:22bankers will get get you that valuation
  411. 19:25part I really don't know at this moment
  412. 19:27right now
  413. 19:29>> okay okay sir I'll get back in thank you
  414. 19:32thank you
  415. 19:34>> okay thank you Risha ma'am for the
  416. 19:35question
  417. 19:37so sir we have a question from another
  418. 19:40attendees also so I think is having a
  419. 19:42question please go ahead with your
  420. 19:54Say you're not audible.
  421. 19:56>> I'm audible.
  422. 19:58Hello.
  423. 19:58>> Yes, you're audible now but little bit
  424. 20:00like your voice is not coming.
  425. 20:02>> Okay, now it's better.
  426. 20:04>> Yeah.
  427. 20:05>> Yes. Yes.
  428. 20:06>> Yeah. Uh thank you for the opportunity
  429. 20:09and a very good wonderful practice
  430. 20:11presentation. It was sir. Uh sir uh just
  431. 20:14can you give me the revenue split uh for
  432. 20:17the defense aerospace and the rail comp
  433. 20:19rail part the two sectors that we are
  434. 20:21into forc
  435. 20:23>> so yeah what I will do is I will talk
  436. 20:26about in percentage right now uh what
  437. 20:28has happened is uh uh 65% of the
  438. 20:32business has gone into uh you know uh
  439. 20:35aerospace uh defense and uh only around
  440. 20:3930% is uh the railways the remaining uh
  441. 20:43components are in the semicon industry
  442. 20:46than uh you know other engineering
  443. 20:48industry. So to give a very clear uh
  444. 20:51this thing 65% has come from aerospace
  445. 20:54and defense and uh 30% from the rail and
  446. 20:59this will continue for the next year
  447. 21:01also and uh uh you know to 20 you know
  448. 21:06for 26 27 and 27 28 also aerospace
  449. 21:10defense will grow at a much faster rate
  450. 21:12and rail will not grow the way aerospace
  451. 21:15and defense is growing.
  452. 21:18Thank you sir. So my another question is
  453. 21:21regarding a business model that's built
  454. 21:23to print and build to specs.
  455. 21:25>> Yeah.
  456. 21:26>> So how much Yeah. How much is a
  457. 21:27percentage means what's uh generally
  458. 21:30whatever that we receive?
  459. 21:31>> Yeah. So for uh for uh 20 FI 256 uh what
  460. 21:38we completed this uh 146 uh crores uh it
  461. 21:42has been more of a more build to uh spec
  462. 21:47model you know the customers have given
  463. 21:49us the drawings they have finalized
  464. 21:52uh you know uh build to print you know
  465. 21:54I'm sorry build to print so the customer
  466. 21:57has given us the 3D models uh assembly
  467. 21:59drawings uh three uh you uh 2D drawings.
  468. 22:02So we made as per the print and uh you
  469. 22:07know build to spec has been very little
  470. 22:10you know it's uh 7030 build to print was
  471. 22:1470 build to spec was only 30 but uh this
  472. 22:18year onwards we are focusing you know we
  473. 22:21are building up cap capability in
  474. 22:22engineering and then we want to be uh we
  475. 22:26want to give more of build to spec and
  476. 22:30uh you
  477. 22:32Continue with the build to print models.
  478. 22:35Build to spec advantages and
  479. 22:38disadvantages are you know one is that
  480. 22:40the margins are very high. Uh the
  481. 22:43disadvantage is guest station period to
  482. 22:45convert uh uh the prototype or the ideas
  483. 22:50into production is between 8 to 10
  484. 22:53months. It is worth the margins are
  485. 22:56worth the
  486. 22:58you know the product uh development.
  487. 23:02>> So that is for the first time initially
  488. 23:04once the prototype and everything is
  489. 23:06clear
  490. 23:06>> and we get a repeat order then it's it's
  491. 23:09a it's a
  492. 23:10>> cherry on the cake.
  493. 23:12>> Yes. You know all my Israel customers
  494. 23:14are built to spec. the customer is
  495. 23:17giving us uh you know an idea of a
  496. 23:19product and uh we we make you know
  497. 23:23multiple uh drawings and other things to
  498. 23:26them. Then they then we work together on
  499. 23:29those drawings and move towards the
  500. 23:31prototype and once the prototype uh you
  501. 23:35know is accepted it moves into the
  502. 23:37production. So all my you know we work
  503. 23:39with 11 customers in uh Israel uh apart
  504. 23:43from uh Elvic systems, II, Bach engines,
  505. 23:47palbam you know like this uh uh many
  506. 23:50companies we are working with them most
  507. 23:52of them are you know they are coming in
  508. 23:55uh built to spec models
  509. 23:59you talked about couple of orders one is
  510. 24:01for the 200 of order so that is built to
  511. 24:04specs and HL yeah they are all built to
  512. 24:07specs sir you know an idea is given and
  513. 24:09then uh there is a lot of engineering is
  514. 24:11there and then we work very closely with
  515. 24:14the customer in fine-tuning the
  516. 24:16specifications once the specifications
  517. 24:19are fine-tuned uh we move into the
  518. 24:20prototype
  519. 24:22>> okay and sir just ballpark what is the
  520. 24:26margin sir I know that is it is better
  521. 24:29but
  522. 24:30>> so another uh you know 3 to 5% uh you
  523. 24:34know if I talk about uh uh build to
  524. 24:37print if it is the margins are uh around
  525. 24:4033%. So 5% more you will get in build to
  526. 24:43spec.
  527. 24:44>> Okay. And FI27 sir the build to specs
  528. 24:47and build to print should be 50/50.
  529. 24:49>> It'll be it'll be no it'll be uh 7030
  530. 24:52but you know we are trying to bridge the
  531. 24:53gap. Yeah. 50/50 is that's our idea.
  532. 24:56You're right.
  533. 24:58>> Okay. Okay. Uh good sir. Uh so one last
  534. 25:02question is regarding the payment cycle.
  535. 25:04>> Yeah.
  536. 25:04>> So yeah in both the way in in the
  537. 25:07railway order and in this also in
  538. 25:09>> Yeah. I will tell you the uh normally
  539. 25:11the payment orders are something uh you
  540. 25:14know the payment cycles between all my
  541. 25:16customer bases are uh between 90 to 120
  542. 25:20days uh payment cycle. Uh initially what
  543. 25:24happened is uh before this uh war in
  544. 25:28Israel, there are many shipments which
  545. 25:30we did by ocean and uh they are all
  546. 25:34container load of uh shipments which uh
  547. 25:38got stuck in uh different uh places like
  548. 25:42in Colbo port or in Chennai port or in
  549. 25:45Nawasha port. uh some of them was stuck
  550. 25:49in uh you know in a hifa port also for
  551. 25:52Israel. So the delivery of uh these
  552. 25:54items reaching in Israel or my European
  553. 25:57customers which went by ocean was uh you
  554. 26:00know it took more than 8 months to 10
  555. 26:03months but in February and March some of
  556. 26:06them started easing out they started
  557. 26:09getting uh those so uh the customer
  558. 26:12doesn't want to pay without seeing the
  559. 26:15component itself. So but they have been
  560. 26:18they have been working with us for a
  561. 26:20longer time. So this has been an
  562. 26:22exceptional year for us that uh we got
  563. 26:25uh delayed payments. Uh but what we did
  564. 26:29was in uh in in March in order to
  565. 26:33sustain ourselves we started asking them
  566. 26:36uh the customers advanced payments. So
  567. 26:39most of my Israel customers and European
  568. 26:41customers they have started paying us
  569. 26:43advanced payments to the tune of around
  570. 26:4630 to 50% of the order value. So this is
  571. 26:49going to we will continue with that
  572. 26:51model and uh the 50 the remaining
  573. 26:54balance amount is on delivery. So we
  574. 26:57will continue. So uh FY 26 27 our uh uh
  575. 27:05you know payment cycles and all will be
  576. 27:07much uh easier and the working capital
  577. 27:11uh will be much better compared to the
  578. 27:14earlier year.
  579. 27:16>> Okay. But sir since the way under the
  580. 27:19atma theme there are many companies they
  581. 27:22are into this critical components of
  582. 27:27>> defense and everything. So then we get
  583. 27:28this
  584. 27:30advanced payment really a niche product
  585. 27:34or it's what it is exactly
  586. 27:35>> sir I'll tell you the Israel uh
  587. 27:37customers we have under control now we
  588. 27:39don't have control with uh the
  589. 27:41government of India projects see we are
  590. 27:43working on a large project for drone uh
  591. 27:46assembly for uh the artillery we have an
  592. 27:50order which I mentioned earlier for an
  593. 27:5285 cr order uh this thing the government
  594. 27:56doesn't give us uh any benefit in you
  595. 27:58know uh the government of India see if
  596. 28:01we have to be there in defense business
  597. 28:04we really have to put in all the working
  598. 28:07capital uh requirement from us see apart
  599. 28:10from that we have to give an advanced
  600. 28:12PPG you know performance bank guarantee
  601. 28:14of 10% of the order value
  602. 28:16>> and uh all the payments are after
  603. 28:19delivery only you know it's not you know
  604. 28:22you won't get advanced payments for any
  605. 28:24of the defense projects this is uh uh
  606. 28:27problem you know you know what we uh
  607. 28:32what we have been working uh with the
  608. 28:34government you know for the you know the
  609. 28:37so we have to live with this system if
  610. 28:39we have to be in the defense business
  611. 28:41>> got it sir thank you sir thank you for
  612. 28:44patiently answering on the answer to my
  613. 28:46question sir I join in the kos thank you
  614. 28:48very much and best of luck for sir
  615. 28:50>> thank you sir
  616. 28:52>> thank you sir for the questions
  617. 28:57So sir, next question I have from Mr.
  618. 29:00Priyank I guess. Priyanch sir, please go
  619. 29:02ahead with the question.
  620. 29:06>> Yeah. Hello sir. Hope I'm audible.
  621. 29:08>> Yes pri.
  622. 29:10>> Yeah sir my first question on the
  623. 29:12revenue split that you mentioned for
  624. 29:14FI26. Uh so you mentioned uh 65% from um
  625. 29:18a aerospace 30% from railway.
  626. 29:21>> Yeah. But if I recall correctly sir uh I
  627. 29:23think uh two months back when we uh had
  628. 29:25a inter uh one more uh discussion right
  629. 29:28I think for 8 month 26 uh uh 47% was
  630. 29:33already from defense and uh 37 was
  631. 29:36already from uh railway
  632. 29:38>> so so let me tell you uh the 3 months
  633. 29:41you know I'm I'm talking about the full
  634. 29:43year now so the full year uh we had a
  635. 29:47lot of invoicing done in February March
  636. 29:50for the defense sector
  637. 29:51especially at the component level on uh
  638. 29:54on the defense sectors. So the game plan
  639. 29:58uh right now for us is to more move more
  640. 30:01more into aerospace and defense rail is
  641. 30:04uh there but you know rail as we have
  642. 30:06been working only with the OEMs like
  643. 30:09seammens and also and all so that will
  644. 30:11continue to grow. So here I have
  645. 30:14combined aerospace and defense together.
  646. 30:16So earlier you know we had uh split you
  647. 30:19know between aerospace uh defense uh
  648. 30:23semicon and others and railways you know
  649. 30:25four different sectors we had now in
  650. 30:28order to make our uh you know there's a
  651. 30:31very thin line between aerospace and
  652. 30:33defense so because the similar
  653. 30:34components like HL you know uh I would
  654. 30:38call it as defense some will call it as
  655. 30:40aerospace so you know so I've tried to
  656. 30:42combine aerospace and defense so
  657. 30:44aerospace defense has been
  658. 30:46Last year when we have completed for
  659. 30:48March 31st has been 67 65
  660. 30:52around 30 is rail and all others are you
  661. 30:56know semicon machineries and uh you know
  662. 30:59other uh businesses uh altogether.
  663. 31:04>> Okay understood sir. So um one more
  664. 31:07follow up on the split part also sir
  665. 31:09like uh if I see from FI23 to 25 right
  666. 31:13like uh uh we had like a huge dependency
  667. 31:16on railways right uh railway growing
  668. 31:18from 20% of our revenue to almost 70% by
  669. 31:2125
  670. 31:22>> correct
  671. 31:23>> so u will going ahead like aerospace and
  672. 31:27defense will be the key segment that we
  673. 31:29uh looking to pursue or there could be a
  674. 31:32uh seasonality also
  675. 31:34>> no uh I'll tell you uh you know it's a
  676. 31:37good question you asked. See uh we were
  677. 31:39in a growth stage in uh uh in 23 24 in
  678. 31:44early stages different sector uh this
  679. 31:47thing you know to get into vendor
  680. 31:50registration and getting the approvals
  681. 31:52in Israel and all it's a time consuming
  682. 31:54and you require a lot of patience you
  683. 31:56know and get so we did all this basics
  684. 31:59in uh uh 24 and 25 so now we are seeing
  685. 32:04those order orders coming in you know
  686. 32:06backto-back orders coming from the
  687. 32:07aerospace defense
  688. 32:08So when you actually prove them you know
  689. 32:11you now start getting orders see in rail
  690. 32:14sector what is happening is um you know
  691. 32:18there's a stagnation uh which is coming
  692. 32:20in uh you know the types of components
  693. 32:25and the projects which we are coming so
  694. 32:28European uh rail you know like uh also
  695. 32:31or semens or they're all presently
  696. 32:34because of the economic conditions what
  697. 32:36is happening many of the projects are
  698. 32:38going slow. So, uh railway will not grow
  699. 32:43the way aerospace and defense is uh
  700. 32:45happening. You know, that will be only
  701. 32:47around 10 to 15% uh annually we'll be
  702. 32:50growing uh in the rail sector. So
  703. 32:53aerospace and defense there's ample
  704. 32:55growth you know and uh the type of
  705. 32:59projects which we handle uh we see
  706. 33:02backto-back inquiries coming in on
  707. 33:04similar projects and uh presently we are
  708. 33:07not geared either on uh infrastructure
  709. 33:11uh to handle large projects uh because
  710. 33:14uh as I also mentioned to become an
  711. 33:16Airbus or a Boeing we require a
  712. 33:18controlled atmosphere factory. The
  713. 33:20entire factory has to be uh air
  714. 33:23conditioned factory. Presently we don't
  715. 33:25have that. So we are going to build in
  716. 33:27next 6 months a controlled uh
  717. 33:30temperature factory once this factory is
  718. 33:33up. So we are open up for you know
  719. 33:36either Rolls-Royce because we are seeing
  720. 33:38Rolls-Royce name coming up uh you know
  721. 33:41in the news uh they're setting up uh
  722. 33:45bigger plants in Bangalore and in Hosur
  723. 33:47and all. So we have ample opportunities
  724. 33:49you know in uh aerospace defense. We
  725. 33:52will focus on this growth in the coming
  726. 33:54years.
  727. 33:56>> Understood sir. Uh yeah this is very a
  728. 33:58prudent strategy sir. One more uh number
  729. 34:01that I want to understand is uh how much
  730. 34:03Israel as a overall revenue basket could
  731. 34:07contribute to.
  732. 34:08>> So presently it is around 20%. Sir
  733. 34:12>> 20%. uh it will grow up till uh 30 to
  734. 34:1635% in uh 2728 it will grow very fast.
  735. 34:22>> Okay. Given the uh pipeline and the
  736. 34:24order visibility.
  737. 34:25>> Yes. Yes.
  738. 34:27>> Okay. Sir one more question. Uh out of
  739. 34:29this uh aerospace and defense what is a
  740. 34:32split between the sub assemblies and the
  741. 34:35component u for
  742. 34:38>> 26. So for 2526
  743. 34:41uh component level is uh uh is around
  744. 34:4660% and assembly is around 40% right
  745. 34:48now.
  746. 34:50>> Okay. Uh any guidance s how this split
  747. 34:53will look like in next one or two years.
  748. 34:55>> So you know we are focusing more on
  749. 34:58assemblies now uh rather than the
  750. 35:02component level but we are not leaving
  751. 35:03any opportunity on the component level
  752. 35:05also. uh when we start manufacturing
  753. 35:08components for engines you know we are
  754. 35:10making uh components for engines which
  755. 35:13is uh uh there's a company called BHSH
  756. 35:17engines in uh
  757. 35:20uh in Tel Aviv uh those are all will go
  758. 35:23a component only it will not go as a sub
  759. 35:26assembly or an assembly when it comes to
  760. 35:28missiles missile carriers or missiles uh
  761. 35:31systems or uh launchers or such type of
  762. 35:35defense projects it will go as a sub
  763. 35:38assembly or an assembly.
  764. 35:41>> Okay, understood sir. Sir uh um we
  765. 35:44discussed about the railway but we miss
  766. 35:45out on the semiconductor part right? So
  767. 35:48the PCBs that we make that also goes
  768. 35:50into aeros.
  769. 35:51>> No no we are not making PCBs we are
  770. 35:53making uh components for the machines
  771. 35:57which manufacture PCBs. So the
  772. 36:00components uh we supply to a company
  773. 36:03called ASM technologies. they
  774. 36:05manufacture machines for Tata
  775. 36:07Electronics or Micron or any of those
  776. 36:10you know or Apple uh iPhone
  777. 36:12manufacturers. So they make machines I
  778. 36:15make components assemblies sub
  779. 36:17assemblies uh to the machine
  780. 36:20manufacturer.
  781. 36:21So since these machines are used in
  782. 36:24semiconductor industry so we are just
  783. 36:27you know for our own convenience we have
  784. 36:29categorized as semicon industry.
  785. 36:33>> Okay. So sir the focus will be there
  786. 36:35also going ahead or
  787. 36:37>> yeah we are not focusing much on this uh
  788. 36:39because we are uh we have been uh an
  789. 36:43approved customer for uh these two
  790. 36:45customers you know and they are
  791. 36:47receiving backto-back orders. So any
  792. 36:50inquiries coming in we are taking up
  793. 36:51because we don't require a separate
  794. 36:54infrastructure for manufacturing this
  795. 36:56this will go along with uh aerospace and
  796. 36:59defense uh projects. So we take up as
  797. 37:02and when uh the projects are coming from
  798. 37:04uh these customers.
  799. 37:07>> Okay. So the pro product that you built
  800. 37:10for these two semicon company sir uh
  801. 37:12like do you have other competitor also
  802. 37:15uh like in India?
  803. 37:17>> Correct. So there is a company called
  804. 37:19Micron Industry which is setting up a
  805. 37:21massive plant in uh uh in uh Ahmedabad
  806. 37:25in uh in Gujarat in Saland area. And
  807. 37:29then uh of course Tata Electronics is
  808. 37:31building up new new plants in Gojhati.
  809. 37:34So there's massive orders for
  810. 37:36manufacturing these machines uh with
  811. 37:38these companies. So we are trying to
  812. 37:41work with them. We see that there is a
  813. 37:44growth potential but uh because of our
  814. 37:47limited uh uh capacity right now we
  815. 37:51would like to focus on uh the aerospace
  816. 37:54defense itself. So that will only be a
  817. 37:58you know uh anything which comes it'll
  818. 38:00just add into our top line.
  819. 38:04>> Okay. So in your next year estimate uh
  820. 38:08240 C or something. So that is not
  821. 38:10accounted right. Uh
  822. 38:11>> that is that is very small uh it is less
  823. 38:13than 3%.
  824. 38:15>> Okay.
  825. 38:16>> Okay. Thank you sir for answering my
  826. 38:18question.
  827. 38:18>> Thank you Priyan.
  828. 38:20>> Thank you Priyan sir for the questions
  829. 38:22and thank you Shras for the answer. So
  830. 38:25sir, we have a next question from Mr.
  831. 38:27Rahul. So they have raised their hand.
  832. 38:30So Rahul sir, you can go ahead with the
  833. 38:32question.
  834. 38:37>> Yeah. Hi, I'm audible.
  835. 38:39>> Yes.
  836. 38:40>> Yeah. Good morning sir. Uh first of all,
  837. 38:42thanks for the brief introduction. It
  838. 38:44was very helpful. I'm I'm a bit new new
  839. 38:47to the company. So just a few basic
  840. 38:48questions to start with. uh if you can
  841. 38:50just please take me through this sales
  842. 38:52growth that we have seen in this year 22
  843. 38:54kores in 25 and 140 kores in 26 this is
  844. 38:58a very large growth if you can maybe
  845. 39:00specifically take me through which
  846. 39:02programs which customers led to this
  847. 39:04growth yeah
  848. 39:06>> okay so uh the the first and the second
  849. 39:09number which is small number this is
  850. 39:11purely 100% rail business and a very
  851. 39:14small business of HL
  852. 39:16>> now the third number is there are in uh
  853. 39:20in between uh 24 25 we were building lot
  854. 39:24of build to spec projects you know uh
  855. 39:26all trial orders and all this got
  856. 39:28converted into this current year so you
  857. 39:31will see a bigger number
  858. 39:32>> in this year then the major project
  859. 39:35which we started working on is the drone
  860. 39:38project where we built the all the
  861. 39:41mechanical components for the our small
  862. 39:44acquisition which we did in uh NOA so
  863. 39:47the major
  864. 39:48portion is come from the artillery
  865. 39:51division where in which we manufactured
  866. 39:54all the components for the loitering
  867. 39:57minion drone. So we did all the
  868. 40:00component level subasssembly level for
  869. 40:02this uh drone projects. So that has been
  870. 40:05a substantial growth for the uh 25 26
  871. 40:09year. Uh added to this we also executed
  872. 40:12some large orders for uh Elvbit systems
  873. 40:15and uh a company called Palbam in
  874. 40:18Israel. Those are all new customers
  875. 40:20added in the
  876. 40:22uh financial year. So these all orders
  877. 40:25uh built up these numbers for this uh
  878. 40:28140 plus CR.
  879. 40:30>> Got it. Uh if I may just uh cross
  880. 40:33question a bit on this answer. Uh I
  881. 40:36believe the drone business that our
  882. 40:38acquired company got was approximately
  883. 40:4180 crores right 80 85
  884. 40:43>> 85 yeah 85 crores
  885. 40:45>> so in that our component would be what
  886. 40:4815 20 kores at max not
  887. 40:50>> no it no it'll be somewhere around uh
  888. 40:52around 35 36 crores
  889. 40:55>> okay 35 36 crores got it and the second
  890. 40:58thing that you said was BTS helped us
  891. 41:01scale in this year we had a lot of
  892. 41:02programs which converted into commercial
  893. 41:05this year, right?
  894. 41:06>> Correct. Correct. This is for the Elvit
  895. 41:07systems uh H
  896. 41:10>> and uh
  897. 41:12then the then we had a company called
  898. 41:15Pulbomb. Then we also have a company
  899. 41:17called BCH Engines.
  900. 41:19>> So like this you know all these got
  901. 41:21converted into orders that will be
  902. 41:23somewhere around uh uh another 40 45 CR.
  903. 41:28>> Okay. 40 45 CR from this side also.
  904. 41:31>> Correct. A rail business also grew up. M
  905. 41:34>> rail business also grew up to the tune
  906. 41:36of around 40 45
  907. 41:40>> but then I believe in the answer to the
  908. 41:43previous participant you said that BTS
  909. 41:45was a smaller contribution than BTP this
  910. 41:48year
  911. 41:49>> see you see the uh you see the entire
  912. 41:51year's numbers the numbers are all uh
  913. 41:54coming exactly to the tune of what I
  914. 41:56have made so uh there's a again you know
  915. 42:01uh build to spec has been with uh some
  916. 42:04of the Israel customers. You know what I
  917. 42:06mentioned and uh in this uh drone uh
  918. 42:10assemblies also some of the electronics
  919. 42:13and subasssemblies also we have done all
  920. 42:15the specification designs specification
  921. 42:19uh you know because it took us more than
  922. 42:21a year for us to build all those spec
  923. 42:24you know all those uh capabilities.
  924. 42:26>> So so there is a thin line between uh
  925. 42:30those numbers here. So you should not
  926. 42:33worry much about this but we will have
  927. 42:36we will have a bigger
  928. 42:38>> doubt about that. So my main query for
  929. 42:41asking this was because defense
  930. 42:43customers usually take a long time to
  931. 42:45scale and exactly we have seen a rather
  932. 42:49well of course we have we have gone
  933. 42:50through that trial phase development
  934. 42:52phase but then suddenly we have seen a h
  935. 42:55youth spike so hence I was surprised as
  936. 42:57to what suddenly changed with these PSUs
  937. 42:59and larger companies. Yeah, but if you
  938. 43:01see uh this coming year also uh the
  939. 43:04projects which will get converted into
  940. 43:06orders this year uh these projects all
  941. 43:09the trials are being uh done in 25 26
  942. 43:12itself but you will not see many any
  943. 43:15numbers at all. So you will see those
  944. 43:16numbers only in this uh current year and
  945. 43:19next year. So since the guest station
  946. 43:21periods are much higher so you know and
  947. 43:24uh uh approvals take a longer time so we
  948. 43:28require to have and modifications also
  949. 43:31you know lot of changes happens in the
  950. 43:34design itself you know based on the
  951. 43:36requirement so we should have yeah we
  952. 43:38take a you know a lot of patience and do
  953. 43:41it slowly.
  954. 43:42>> Got it. Just to continue on this
  955. 43:44approvals part so like I said I'm a bit
  956. 43:45new to the business. I just wanted a bit
  957. 43:47more understanding on the business
  958. 43:48quality. From what I understood that we
  959. 43:51are primarily into machining, right?
  960. 43:54Would that be the right thing to say?
  961. 43:55>> So I would say uh our bread and butter
  962. 43:58we started off with machining. Then we
  963. 44:00moved into sheet metal component. Then
  964. 44:02we have a 3D printing facility for uh
  965. 44:05the drone systems itself.
  966. 44:07>> Then we also built a a little bit of uh
  967. 44:12integrating electronics into the you
  968. 44:15know mechanical part. Then we are now a
  969. 44:18completely an assembler. You know we can
  970. 44:20assemble electrical, electronics, sheet
  971. 44:23metal components, machined components,
  972. 44:27uh test them and give them as an
  973. 44:29assembly.
  974. 44:30>> Got it. So my question here is that we
  975. 44:33are making significantly high margins
  976. 44:37when I look at compared to other players
  977. 44:39and being in the more of the mechanical
  978. 44:41area being the machining part. uh there
  979. 44:45would be a lot of players who would be
  980. 44:47in our segment competing with us. So if
  981. 44:50you can share more on that from that
  982. 44:53perspective as to what is the complexity
  983. 44:54in our business, how are we able to make
  984. 44:56such margins? Uh maybe if you can add in
  985. 44:59the approval process or something, how
  986. 45:01long does it take because I feel a lot
  987. 45:03of people can get into the segment.
  988. 45:06>> Uh you're right on this. uh uh the thing
  989. 45:10is uh our uh you know we want to be
  990. 45:13slightly different from our competition.
  991. 45:16Uh there are three aspects we are giving
  992. 45:18uh them uh you know we have built up a
  993. 45:20strong engineering uh uh base in our own
  994. 45:24system. So when an inquiry comes we work
  995. 45:26very closely uh with the customers uh in
  996. 45:30fine-tuning the specifications. So the
  997. 45:32customers uh come to us you know
  998. 45:35sometimes you know it is a mutual uh uh
  999. 45:39understanding of the product itself you
  1000. 45:41know what we understand and you know
  1001. 45:43based on our experience and their
  1002. 45:44experience we try to build a you know a
  1003. 45:46new product itself this is from the
  1004. 45:48engineering side second thing is a top
  1005. 45:51you know milwork is known for the
  1006. 45:53topnotch consistent quality between
  1007. 45:56batch to batch we have been giving
  1008. 45:58consistent quality so the customer is
  1009. 46:00completely ly happy with the the
  1010. 46:03consistency of the quality and the third
  1011. 46:05thing is on the uh identification of the
  1012. 46:09supply chain of the raw materials or any
  1013. 46:12of these things. So we are able to get
  1014. 46:15hold of our supply chain you know
  1015. 46:17whether it is a uh you know special
  1016. 46:20grade of aerospace material or any of
  1017. 46:23those we are able to get those raw
  1018. 46:25material at a much faster rate with a a
  1019. 46:28strong supply chain base. Then end of
  1020. 46:30the day customer wants a top-notch
  1021. 46:33quality and on time.
  1022. 46:35>> These two things you keep uh them and
  1023. 46:38then the repeat orders is uh not a
  1024. 46:41problem. And we see that uh many of our
  1025. 46:45peer groups you know are not able to you
  1026. 46:48know give a consistent quality and uh uh
  1027. 46:52on-time delivery. So they miss out on
  1028. 46:54some some tier you know some some
  1029. 46:57important projects. So that will be the
  1030. 47:00key and that we will continue to hold on
  1031. 47:02in the coming years that we want to make
  1032. 47:05it as a mantra in our own uh you know in
  1033. 47:08our the way we work.
  1034. 47:10>> Got it. Very clear. So maybe that we can
  1035. 47:12also understand this question in another
  1036. 47:14way. Uh if we can uh like you told me
  1037. 47:17the customers that led to this growth in
  1038. 47:19this year. Maybe if you can specify the
  1039. 47:21key programs for example a particular
  1040. 47:23aircraft or a particular defense vehicle
  1041. 47:26or something that led to this uh what
  1042. 47:30were the key programs for us this year?
  1043. 47:32>> So so there I would like to mention
  1044. 47:34about this two programs. One is uh we
  1045. 47:37are working on a it's called as a saddle
  1046. 47:39project. This is a missile carrier
  1047. 47:42system for an F-16
  1048. 47:44uh or an F-35 aircraft where a carrier
  1049. 47:47is used to hold the missile onto an
  1050. 47:50aircraft.
  1051. 47:51>> So this is a sheet metal part uh which
  1052. 47:55has uh plenty of uh machined components
  1053. 47:58assemblies subasssemblies riveting
  1054. 48:02>> uh you know and then you know it's it's
  1055. 48:04a assembly itself. So
  1056. 48:07>> um all the F-16s uh in Israel you know
  1057. 48:11Israel is having around 200 F-16 and
  1058. 48:13F-35 aircrafts
  1059. 48:15>> okay
  1060. 48:15>> uh that requires an uh overall you know
  1061. 48:19MRO activity or the fitting of all this
  1062. 48:22this career will fall off along with the
  1063. 48:24missile. So extensive use of this
  1064. 48:26aircraft right now in this uh Middle
  1065. 48:28East war. So they require all backups
  1066. 48:31you know they require a lot of stock you
  1067. 48:34know. So uh we have been one of the
  1068. 48:37strong players a strong supplier for uh
  1069. 48:39these type of uh projects.
  1070. 48:41>> Very
  1071. 48:42>> uh yeah and this will grow in a much
  1072. 48:44faster rate. Even though it is a small
  1073. 48:47pie right now they are trying to you
  1074. 48:50know find out uh a new supplier base in
  1075. 48:53India you know being milworks being a
  1076. 48:55predominant one but their existing
  1077. 48:57suppliers are all in France. So they are
  1078. 49:00trying to move all those because of the
  1079. 49:01volumes and other things they trying to
  1080. 49:03>> move to India. Uh the other important
  1081. 49:06significant project which Madus
  1082. 49:09mentioned we are working with um
  1083. 49:12uh H for a fuselage project and this
  1084. 49:16will actually
  1085. 49:19>> uh this is for an ALH uh aircraft
  1086. 49:22>> helicopter.
  1087. 49:23>> Yeah. So this is called as a fuselage
  1088. 49:26project which we are presently uh become
  1089. 49:29L1 once uh once we get this order and uh
  1090. 49:34you know this will change the Milwork's
  1091. 49:36way you know we'll be in the big league
  1092. 49:38like Dynamatic Technologies or
  1093. 49:42>> Azad Engineering so
  1094. 49:44>> I know that should happen in uh you know
  1095. 49:472728
  1096. 49:49>> got it no so uh what you said were the
  1097. 49:52programs that are going to drive us for
  1098. 49:53this year and the next and the future
  1099. 49:55but I want to understand the existing
  1100. 49:57programs that have driven this one.
  1101. 49:58Yeah, the existing one I mentioned about
  1102. 50:00the saddle project you know that uh
  1103. 50:03itself but the future is with the h. So
  1104. 50:06there are smaller projects which we
  1105. 50:08worked uh with Elbit systems and other
  1106. 50:11uh this thing in Israel. They're all
  1107. 50:13very smaller projects. They're all
  1108. 50:15specific project name is not there
  1109. 50:18because of the
  1110. 50:19>> of course
  1111. 50:19>> client confidentiality.
  1112. 50:21>> Of course. No. So the reason was uh to
  1113. 50:23to ask this was to understand the number
  1114. 50:26of vendors that we compete with usually
  1115. 50:28with our customers. Is it like a huge
  1116. 50:31base since we are doing a rather uh not
  1117. 50:34as complex work since we are doing more
  1118. 50:37of sheet metal more of
  1119. 50:39machining are there more vendors per
  1120. 50:41customer for our product or
  1121. 50:44>> yeah I I'll tell you uh this uh see the
  1122. 50:48the customers are very same customers
  1123. 50:51for many of the peer group like Azad
  1124. 50:54engineering also works with Elbid or uh
  1125. 50:57you know Dynamatic also or sanssara
  1126. 51:01engineering you know they all work with
  1127. 51:03the same but on different projects
  1128. 51:06>> so the pi is you know much bigger so you
  1129. 51:09know I think uh there's space for
  1130. 51:11everyone to grow
  1131. 51:12>> got it
  1132. 51:13>> so you know and uh we are at the right
  1133. 51:15time uh being part of the spy
  1134. 51:18>> very clear and just coming to these
  1135. 51:20orders that we are planning to win the
  1136. 51:22Israel 200 cr order the HL 70 cr order
  1137. 51:26if you can give more info about this but
  1138. 51:28the timelines means uh the 200 cr order
  1139. 51:31is the same F-16 program or some other
  1140. 51:34program.
  1141. 51:34>> Yeah, it's a F-16 F-35 program.
  1142. 51:38This uh is presently on the trial base.
  1143. 51:40You know, we have a trial order and
  1144. 51:42advance amount paid for the tooling.
  1145. 51:44>> The customer already has done that and
  1146. 51:46presently it is under execution. So
  1147. 51:48trials is likely to be con completed end
  1148. 51:51of September this year. Okay. And uh the
  1149. 51:54approvals will come by October end and
  1150. 51:57uh Israel team is going to be here in uh
  1151. 51:59in July. They will help us uh you know
  1152. 52:02build this entire project. So three
  1153. 52:05member team you know they will help us
  1154. 52:07set up the fixturing line or production
  1155. 52:09line everything in July. And our idea is
  1156. 52:13to you know out of the 200 crores at
  1157. 52:15least 100 crores to be you know to
  1158. 52:17dispatch before March.
  1159. 52:22>> So you are saying that that you will get
  1160. 52:23approved in September October and
  1161. 52:25>> within
  1162. 52:27five months you will sell 100 C.
  1163. 52:29>> Yeah. Yeah.
  1164. 52:30>> Okay. And uh the 240 K number that we
  1165. 52:33are guiding for FI27 100 K will be
  1166. 52:36>> will come from this. Yes.
  1167. 52:38>> Okay. Got it. And then uh we are working
  1168. 52:41on uh this HAL project as Musar
  1169. 52:44mentioned on the fuselage project. That
  1170. 52:47uh timeline is uh you know we are likely
  1171. 52:50to get a trial order uh in the month of
  1172. 52:53July or first week of August and then
  1173. 52:56the trial order will uh extend up till
  1174. 52:59December this year
  1175. 53:01>> and uh at least 35 to 40 crores we will
  1176. 53:05be building in this year out of the 71
  1177. 53:07cr. So, so these are all only the two
  1178. 53:11projects which we have mentioned but
  1179. 53:12there are many projects which we have
  1180. 53:14bid you know and uh we will you know
  1181. 53:17those are all at the smaller uh levels
  1182. 53:19you know it's around 12 crores or 20
  1183. 53:21crores you know this and all will add up
  1184. 53:23so if any of these these projects fell
  1185. 53:25apart or delay or anything there are
  1186. 53:27other projects to fill up these numbers
  1187. 53:30>> got it okay and so that's what I was
  1188. 53:32going to ask next as we know our
  1189. 53:34business would be more of driven program
  1190. 53:37to program and hence very lumpy. If for
  1191. 53:40example one program ends as we know
  1192. 53:42usually the defense
  1193. 53:44pro procurers procure it uh for one
  1194. 53:49particular batch of aircrafts or one
  1195. 53:50it's not a recurring order basically.
  1196. 53:52>> No no this uh Elvid project what we are
  1197. 53:54talking about the saddle project it is
  1198. 53:56for a 15-year program and uh we we are
  1199. 53:59signing off uh for 5 years. So this is
  1200. 54:04uh you know and there'll be backtoback
  1201. 54:06similar projects coming in uh with
  1202. 54:09different ranges you know different
  1203. 54:10sizes of those carriers you know missile
  1204. 54:12careers. So
  1205. 54:14>> there will be backto-back projects. So
  1206. 54:17it's it's only you know how much uh we
  1207. 54:19can uh uh you know take it up and
  1208. 54:23deliver.
  1209. 54:24>> You have a five year signed commitment.
  1210. 54:26You are saying
  1211. 54:28>> we have yeah we have Yes. Yes. We have
  1212. 54:30>> annual procurement is how much
  1213. 54:34in value terms?
  1214. 54:35>> Uh annual
  1215. 54:36it is a minimum of 200 cr on this
  1216. 54:39project alone. Annual procurement 200
  1217. 54:42kores for the next five years that 100%
  1218. 54:44locked in.
  1219. 54:44>> Yeah, exactly.
  1220. 54:46>> Okay, got it. And uh what is this pro
  1221. 54:49product called exactly? I just couldn't
  1222. 54:51hear you clearly.
  1223. 54:52>> This is called as a missile carrier.
  1224. 54:55>> C A R R I E R. Correct.
  1225. 54:58>> Missile carrier for the F-16 and also
  1226. 55:00the F-35.
  1227. 55:03>> Correct, sir.
  1228. 55:04>> Got it. Uh okay. Okay. But any large
  1229. 55:08programs uh for this 140 kores that were
  1230. 55:11in FI26 that will not repeat in FI27
  1231. 55:15maybe those were one-off programs that
  1232. 55:17only came in FI26 anything like that
  1233. 55:19>> right right now none of the projects we
  1234. 55:21are working like that we are working on
  1235. 55:23all minimum fiveyear projects because
  1236. 55:25there the customer is investing on the
  1237. 55:27tooling itself so tooling itself is will
  1238. 55:30come to around four five crores and uh
  1239. 55:32the customer will pay in advance so they
  1240. 55:34are very clear this this tool Yeah,
  1241. 55:36these tools needs to be used for a
  1242. 55:38longer term.
  1243. 55:40>> Okay. So, the tooling for the F-16 and
  1244. 55:42the F-35 is being provided by the
  1245. 55:44Israeli customer to us.
  1246. 55:46>> Correct. Yeah, they will pay for us.
  1247. 55:48>> And just one last question. Sorry to the
  1248. 55:50moderator. Just one last question.
  1249. 55:52Initially the plans for FY28 were much
  1250. 55:55lower. I believe we were not targeting
  1251. 55:57as much based on our previous
  1252. 55:59interactions. But now we are targeting
  1253. 56:01much more. So, what has changed now? So,
  1254. 56:03so I'll tell you in last two three
  1255. 56:05months uh many Israel teams have visited
  1256. 56:09our factory now
  1257. 56:10>> and uh we have given them all the
  1258. 56:13projections our our unit 4 is going to
  1259. 56:16be a world-class factory and for every
  1260. 56:19uh interaction with uh any of our
  1261. 56:22customers they are asking us to build us
  1262. 56:24a air conditioned fully temperature
  1263. 56:27controlled factory presently we don't
  1264. 56:29have
  1265. 56:30>> and uh we have put up a blueprint we are
  1266. 56:32just waiting for uh uh the IPO's uh
  1267. 56:36closure. Once this is closed, we will be
  1268. 56:39ready with this uh in 2 months you know
  1269. 56:42temperature controlled and we al yeah
  1270. 56:44and this is a minimum requirement
  1271. 56:47because
  1272. 56:48>> uh these parts are all some of are made
  1273. 56:50of titanium and all you know you they
  1274. 56:53they don't like you know it it needs to
  1275. 56:55be a very clean you know atmosphere to
  1276. 56:58manufacture this.
  1277. 56:59>> Agreed.
  1278. 57:01But what about the machines? We will
  1279. 57:03also need to import machines. That will
  1280. 57:05take a lot.
  1281. 57:05>> Some machines. Some machines we have
  1282. 57:07already ordered, sir. They're all on the
  1283. 57:08pipeline. Some of them
  1284. 57:10>> I believe the plan is for 46 machines.
  1285. 57:12How many do we have in hand already?
  1286. 57:14>> 31 is uh we have ordered already 31 and
  1287. 57:19some of them we have paid advances.
  1288. 57:21Others and all are you know let me be
  1289. 57:25very honest we don't have money right
  1290. 57:26now. Once post yeah post IPO we will get
  1291. 57:30all those
  1292. 57:31>> and just one last question sorry again
  1293. 57:33uh what is the name of this drone
  1294. 57:35company that you have acquired how much
  1295. 57:37have you acquired of that company and
  1296. 57:39what is the name that you are saying
  1297. 57:41>> yeah it is a quick pay drones Q quickay
  1298. 57:46drones

  1301. 57:50Nida
  1302. 57:51>> okay
  1303. 57:51>> and uh this uh they have been working on
  1304. 57:54this drone for last 5 years
  1305. 57:56>> okay And uh they uh they they work only

  1313. 58:18>> And uh that order will be invoiced uh by
  1314. 58:21quick pay to the artillery next next 10
  1315. 58:24days.
  1316. 58:25>> Okay.
  1317. 58:25>> Okay. And uh the second drone is uh uh
  1318. 58:29this is called as ibot. This drone is
  1319. 58:32presently uh used in uh in CNN and
  1320. 58:36Pangong Lake and all. We have an
  1321. 58:38exclusive you know we are the only
  1322. 58:40approved army uh drone supplier. This uh
  1323. 58:45drone can identify uh the dead bodies or
  1324. 58:49any of those soldiers in the border
  1325. 58:51areas to the tune of 15 m. Pra depth
  1326. 58:57any of those uh buried our drones can
  1327. 59:01identify and help the uh rescue team.
  1328. 59:04>> Okay.
  1329. 59:05>> So this drones uh we have already
  1330. 59:07supplied around 12 drones in last two
  1331. 59:09years and uh presently we are working on
  1332. 59:13another large order for the eastern
  1333. 59:16command
  1334. 59:17>> for the kami kazi or for this one this
  1335. 59:20particular
  1336. 59:20>> I bought I bought this.
  1337. 59:22>> Okay. How much do we own of this
  1338. 59:24company?
  1339. 59:26>> So, uh this company uh last year did
  1340. 59:29they did around 12 crores. They were
  1341. 59:31very small. Now they are uh growing. Now
  1342. 59:35they are working on uh uh another uh
  1343. 59:38shine type of drone you know. So that is
  1344. 59:42under development that uh drone will be
  1345. 59:45ready uh in 2728.
  1346. 59:48>> Okay. But would we be owning more than
  1347. 59:5050% of this company?
  1348. 59:52>> No, we are we are presently owning uh
  1349. 59:55only around uh 8 and a half% presently.
  1350. 59:58>> Yeah, presently we are owning uh this
  1351. 1:00:01thing. So for Milwork's numbers I have
  1352. 1:00:04for this current year I have not taken
  1353. 1:00:06any of those drone projections but uh
  1354. 1:00:09the you know as we progress because uh
  1355. 1:00:12uh those are all subjective defense
  1356. 1:00:14orders you know. So we are working with
  1357. 1:00:17uh strong content contenders in that
  1358. 1:00:20area like solar industries or you know
  1359. 1:00:23all those. So but specifically for these
  1360. 1:00:26uh three drones we are focusing uh this
  1361. 1:00:29thing we are spending we are spending
  1362. 1:00:31lot of uh time uh resources and all on
  1363. 1:00:34the development of these drones.
  1364. 1:00:36>> Great Sedar sir it was great interacting

  1403. 1:02:15Vishal Ma. How is the spring division
  1404. 1:02:18growing?
  1405. 1:02:19>> Uh the spring division which we uh
  1406. 1:02:22acquired last year. Uh this is uh all
  1407. 1:02:25the springs in the defense sector which
  1408. 1:02:27we are making for the recoil springs.
  1409. 1:02:29They're all in trials in Israel as well
  1410. 1:02:31as ordinance factories in India.
  1411. 1:02:33Presently a very small uh business which
  1412. 1:02:36we are doing for the automotive sector
  1413. 1:02:39but uh this will reflect in numbers only
  1414. 1:02:42in uh 26 27
  1415. 1:02:46>> and thank you sir.
  1416. 1:02:49>> Can we take one last question then we
  1417. 1:02:51come to the session?
  1418. 1:02:52>> Yes.
  1419. 1:02:52>> Okay. So there is an anomalous question
  1420. 1:02:54that if there was impact of Gulf War on
  1421. 1:02:57your sales operations and how do you
  1422. 1:02:59make sure you are insulated from such
  1423. 1:03:02things in future?
  1424. 1:03:04>> Uh the projects which we are presently
  1425. 1:03:07working are not only dependent on the
  1426. 1:03:10Gulf uh situation. See this is the
  1427. 1:03:14reason uh we are in multiple sectors.
  1428. 1:03:16Rail sector is always an ever evergreen.
  1429. 1:03:19uh aerospace and defense is uh you know
  1430. 1:03:22even though the defense sector is
  1431. 1:03:24growing in India uh and across the world
  1432. 1:03:28this uh um the the conditions in Europe
  1433. 1:03:33as well as uh in the border situation it
  1434. 1:03:36is going to be there for a longer time
  1435. 1:03:38and defense is going to be uh the sector
  1436. 1:03:41is going to grow uh it will not uh come
  1437. 1:03:45down in the you know in the near future.
  1438. 1:03:49future but it will open up uh bigger
  1439. 1:03:51avenues bigger markets for us uh for the
  1440. 1:03:54exports. Uh coming back to how we are
  1441. 1:03:58going to sustain this uh numbers and uh
  1442. 1:04:03thing is uh there are projects which we
  1443. 1:04:06have been working for you know last 6 to
  1444. 1:04:088 months already and this will get
  1445. 1:04:10converted into orders now. So, so you
  1446. 1:04:13know continuing you know it is not
  1447. 1:04:15dependent on this Gulf War alone. You
  1448. 1:04:17know if Gulf War stops also we have
  1449. 1:04:20enough projects to work on.
  1450. 1:04:24>> Thank you so much Sidas for answering
  1451. 1:04:26the questions and I think we have
  1452. 1:04:28covered majority of the questions. So
  1453. 1:04:30participants I request you all if you
  1454. 1:04:33have any questions any concern kindly
