    Why it matters

    This pipeline represents significant potential for order book expansion and geographic diversification, crucial for sustained growth.

    See, the opportunities pipeline in terms of the Middle East and Africa is in the region of about Rs. 2,000 crores to Rs. 2,500 crores, but that might take about a year to conclude.

    Q&A highlights

    8

    “Basically, we still have some part of the petchem job, which JNK Global is executing. So that order inflow would also be expected in next 6 months or so. And other than that, in terms of the bid pipeline, exports mainly and also to some extent on domestic, both are quite strong, even on a near term of, say, about 6 months to a year.”

    Analyst sought quantification of future order book, and management provided qualitative insights into the bid pipeline and expected inflows from ongoing projects.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong Q2 FY26 Performance Driven by Robust Revenue Growth

    JNK India delivered a strong Q2 FY26, reporting a total revenue of ₹184.21 crores (Rs. 1,842.1 million), marking a 71.6% year-on-year growth. This performance was supported by a 34.6% increase in operating profit to ₹45.4 crores (Rs. 454 million), with an operating margin of 24.6%. EBITDA also saw a significant rise of 44.7% year-on-year, reaching ₹22.34 crores (Rs. 223.4 million), and the EBITDA margin improved to 12.1% from 7% in Q1 FY26.

    02

    Record Order Book Expansion and Revenue Visibility

    The company secured its largest single order to date during Q2 FY26, an ultra-mega order from JNK Global Company Limited for a cracking furnace package in a petrochemical project, contributing ₹1,050 crores to its order book. This expanded the total order book to ₹1,849.9 crores (Rs. 18,499 million) as of September 30, 2025, up from ₹1,311.6 crores (Rs. 13,116 million) in H1 FY25, reinforcing strong revenue visibility for the next 2-3 years.

    03

    Strategic Entry into Green Energy with New Joint Venture

    JNK India strategically diversified into the clean energy sector by forming JNK Chemdist Technologies Private Limited, a joint venture with Chemdist Group. This new subsidiary will focus on green hydrogen technology and sustainable chemical and fuel solutions, leveraging JNK India's engineering expertise with Chemdist's technology. Management expects this JV to contribute 10-15% to the top line within the next one to two years.

    04

    Improved Operational Efficiency and Cash Conversion Cycle

    Despite an 88.5% year-on-year increase in operating expenses during Q2, JNK India successfully maintained its margins through strong revenue growth and efficient project execution. The company also reported a significant improvement in its cash conversion cycle, which reduced to 76 days in H1 FY26 from 232 days in H1 FY25. This improvement is attributed to conscious efforts, changes in revenue recognition methods, and the phasing out of legacy projects.

    05

    Future Growth Outlook and Diversification Efforts

    JNK India is actively pursuing a robust pipeline of opportunities, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, estimated to be in the range of ₹2,000-2,500 crores, expected to conclude within a year. Domestically, 1-2 large opportunities are anticipated in the petchem, fertilizer, and sustainable fuel sectors. The company is committed to diversifying its product lines and sectors to reduce cyclicity and ensure more uniform, sustainable growth, aiming to maintain EBITDA margins in the 13-16% range.
