Global refurbishment capacity is now north of 120,000 units per month, with H1 FY26 volumes reaching 302,000 units.

AI-Driven Computing and Refurbishment Strategy
GNG Electronics is strategically positioning itself as a technology enabler in the AI-driven computing cycle. The company emphasized the massive opportunity presented by AI, projecting it to add over $15 trillion to the global economy by 2030. GNG's model of refurbishing high-end, AI-ready laptops at a fraction of the cost addresses both the surging demand for AI-enabled systems and global supply constraints, ensuring access to intelligence, not just devices.
Global Expansion and Brand Strength
The company's global business model, centered around the 'Electronics Bazaar' brand, now serves 42 countries, up from 38 previously. India contributed 39.47% of H1 revenue, Middle East 32.24%, Europe 13.79%, and the U.S. 14.50%. Management noted that 97% of revenue is directly contributed by the Electronics Bazaar brand, backed by a comprehensive warranty cover, reinforcing customer trust and reliability across diverse markets.
Improved Financial Health and Debt Reduction
Post-IPO, GNG significantly reduced its net debt to ₹158 crores as of September 30, 2025, from ₹390 crores on March 31, 2025. This reduction, including ₹220 crores of working capital debt repayment in India and incremental debt in the UAE subsidiary, has strengthened the balance sheet. The company anticipates ₹10-12 crores in interest cost savings in the second half of FY26 due to the equity raise, further enhancing profitability.
Positive Outlook and Future Growth Drivers
Management reiterated its FY26 guidance of 20%-25% top-line growth and 75 bps margin improvement, expecting EBITDA margins to be north of 10%. They also confirmed that the second half of the fiscal year is typically stronger, with the first half historically contributing 40%-43% of total revenue. The company is expanding into infrastructure-level refurbishment, including servers and data centers, and has secured long-term spaces in India, UAE, and the US for high-capacity refurbishment centers, aligning with an asset-light model.
