Rajesh Hegde: Yes, good morning. This is Rajesh Hegde. Welcome to our 2nd Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results
Call.
As we reach the halfway point of the financial year, I am pleased with the progress we have
made across several important areas of our business. Number one being we have continued to
grow volumes while maintaining our focus on profitability and utilization. The second point
being demonstrated improved penetration to expand the scale of our exports. Thirdly, our Phase-
2 capacity expansion at Supa is largely complete, providing the manufacturing capacity needed
to support the next phase of growth. And lastly, improve the efficiency of our working capital
cycle. These developments are closely linked to the investments and operating initiatives we
have undertaken over the past few years, and I will discuss them in more detail during our today's
call.
Our 2nd Quarter Financial Results along with supporting information have been submitted to
the exchanges and have been uploaded to our website.
On today's call, I will focus on the industry and trends operating performance and finally, our
capacity utilization and expansion plans. Amod will then discuss the financial and operating
metrics. KSH International, as you know, is a 45-year-old manufacturer of Magnet Winding
Wires, which is the most critical component of coils used in electric machines, from power

transformers down to AC compressors and everything in between. We are the leading
manufacturer of Specialized Magnet Winding Wires in India and the largest exporter of winding
wires from the country. Our installed capacity as on September 30th, 2026 was 57,845 metric
tons, which includes 96% of the total capacity expansion planned at Supa. We are a B2B
company servicing over 120 leading domestic and global OEM customers and maintain long
term relations with these customers with repeat revenue in excess of 95%.
Additionally, our business is make to order, which means we procure the copper or the metal
and begin processing only after receiving a purchase order from the customer. Thus, LME
copper price and exchange rate is a direct pass through. Roughly, 75% of our revenues comes
from supplying specialized Magnet Winding Wires for T&D, renewables, railways and data
centers driven by our core continuously transposed conductors or CTC for transformers, in
which we are the market leaders in India. CTC is a complex engineer product and all of our
exports are exclusively to T&D customers across 5 continents.
Let me briefly share some of my thoughts on the industry environment:
We see sustained growth and investments across power generation, transmission and related
equipment driven by grid infrastructure development, renewable energy integration,
electrification and growth, electricity requirements from industrial and digital infrastructure.
OEMs are still growing order flows and are investing in manufacturing capacity, particularly
across all premium transformer and motor applications. Overseas, equipment manufacturers are
also increasingly highlighting the importance of strengthening their manufacturing capacity and
supply chain resilience to meet evolving customer requirements. An important aspect of this
environment is the increasing emphasis on technical capabilities, product qualifications, delivery
reliability and long-term supply availability. For specialized component manufacturers, these
requirements create opportunities to deepen customer relationships and participate in more
technically demanding applications.
Now, against this backdrop, our focus remains on expanding our engagement with domestic and
global OEMs, progressively using our available manufacturing capacity and ensuring that our
capabilities and the investments remain aligned with the long term requirements of our
customers. Over the past few quarters, we have talked about having capacity available to expand
our export business, given the supply constraints we faced previously. We spent the last 6 months
fulfilling various technical qualifications and test shipments and in Q2, we saw the export
volumes begin to increase from both existing customers as well as new OEMs. Export revenue
in Q2 grew 108% year-over-year and 44% higher than last quarter. As a result, exports
represented almost 32% of our revenue in Q2, up from 26% in Q1. Specialized Magnet Winding
Wires revenue overall grew at 87% year-over-year during Q2, with much of that growth driven
by exports.

CTC contribution in Q2 remained elevated as a percentage of the total revenue as standard wire
volumes begin to pick up late in the quarter. As the newly commissioned standard wire capacity
ramps up, we expect the overall contribution of standard wires to increase and ou
