I now hand the conference over to Mr. Rakesh Chopdar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Azad Engineering Limited. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Rakesh Chopdar: Thank you. Thank you, Team SGA. Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome to our first
quarter earnings conference call for fiscal year 2027. Joining me today is Mr. Vishnu Malpani,
our Whole-Time Director; Mr. Ronak Jajoo, our CFO; and our Investor Relations advisers from
Strategic Growth Advisors.
Our standalone and consolidated financial results, along with our latest investor presentation
have been uploaded to the stock exchanges and our website for your reference. We will start
with capitalization on global industry megatrends. Before we review our specific operational
milestones, it is critical to look at the powerful macroeconomic tailwinds driving our businesses.
We are currently witnessing an unprecedented synchronized high growth cycle across all sectors.
In the energy domain, the global push for energy security and the transition towards advanced
gas turbines have triggered massive multibillion-dollar global equipment upgrade cycles.
Concurrently, the aerospace and defense sector has experienced structural supply chain shifts,
driven by a global surge in aircraft demand and an intense domestic focus on defense self-
reliance.
These are not short-term spikes. They represent structural multi-decade growth shifts. Because
Azad has spent years securing strict OEM qualifications and building specialized heavy
infrastructure, we are uniquely positioned at the epicenter of these dual megatrends.
These powerful industry tailwinds provide a strong compounding foundation that will fuel
Azad's long-term scale and order book expansion for the years to come. Now a very historical
national milestone, India's first indigenous turbojet engine. I want to begin today's call with an
announcement that fills me and our entire team at Azad with immense national pride.

I'm thrilled to share that Azad Engineering has successfully manufactured, assembled and
delivered India's first indigenous expendable turbojet engine to the Gas Turbine Research
Establishment, DRDO and the Ministry of Defense.
As highlighted in the official press release from the MoD, jet engine technology represents one
of the final frontiers of sophisticated engineering. It demands a level of extreme precision,
advanced metallurgical expertise and uncompromising manufacturing quality that is mastered
by only a select handful nations globally.
For Azad, this milestone is a profound architectural shift. We have successfully evolved from
being a precision component manufacturers into a fully integrated propulsion system player. By
taking up the end-to-end manufacturing, assembling and integration of this complete engine
assembly, we have moved right up the value chain.
This significantly expands our total addressable market and firmly seals our position as an
indispensable trusted partner in the India's long-term aerospace and defense sovereignty. We
have also been advised to prepare for a significant scale-up in production volumes once the
ongoing sequence of testing is completed, which will, in turn, accelerate development across all
of India's past and future critical indigenous engine programs.
On the capacity expansion, another feather added the new Baker Hughes facility. Our physical
infrastructure footprint is scaling up right alongside our technical capabilities. I'm proud to report
that our massive multi-facility expansion roadmap at our Tuniki Bollaram Industrial Park is
progressing exactly as planned.
Following the successful commissioning of our dedicated lines for Mitsubishi, GE Power
Systems and Siemens Energy, we hit our next major milestone recently. In April 2026, we
officially inaugurated our fourth dedicated lean manufacturing facility, a state-of-the-art 7,600
square meter facility, custom-built for Baker Hughes. Operating dedicated plants represent the
deepest possible level of customer integration in our industry.
It creates immense operational stickiness and provides long-term multiyear supply chain
visibility with global marquee OEMs. Civil construction across the remaining units at Azad
Center of Excellence is on track to wrap up within this fiscal year, while we are undertaking a
measured calibrated ramp-up across these new lines to satisfy stringent customer qualification
schedules. We expect the more substantive revenue contributions to begin crystallizing in the
second half of this financial year.
Now on the Q1 FY27 financial performance snapshot, our unwavering focus on operational
discipline, operating efficiencies and optimized product segment mixes has enabled us to kick
off the new financial year on the strongest note ever. Looking at our standalone financial
performance for Q1 FY27, I'm happy to mention that we have met our guidance.
Revenue from operations grew by 26.8% year-on-year, reaching to INR170.5 crores, up from
INR134.5 crores in Q1 FY26. Reported EBITDA expanded at a faster pace of 32.1% year-on-
year to arrive at INR64 crores, reflecting the compounding benefits of our operating leverage.
EBITDA margins expanded to robust 37.6%, up from 36.1% in the same quarter last fiscal.
