Detailed Narrative
Q2 FY26 Financial Performance Highlights
Macpower CNC reported its highest-ever quarterly performance in Q2 FY26. Revenue reached ₹85.71 crores, demonstrating a robust 40.45% quarter-on-quarter and 20.55% year-on-year growth. EBITDA also saw significant improvement, standing at ₹14.16 crores, up 78.76% QoQ and 11.11% YoY. Net Profit After Tax (PAT) surged by 105% QoQ and 12.95% YoY to ₹9.38 crores, reflecting strong operational efficiency and demand.
Capacity Expansion and Product Development
The company increased its production capacity from 2,000 to 2,500 machines annually, effective November 10, 2025. This expansion is supported by an ₹8 crore CapEx investment in Q2 FY26, leading to a ₹32 lakh YoY increase in depreciation. Macpower also introduced several new machines, including the TOM Turning Cum Milling machine with Y-axis, MONO 400 XL, GX 100 Super, 1066 APC automatic pallet changer, and a new 5-axis machine design, catering to higher-end product segments and increasing the average machine price to ₹20.19 lakh from ₹18.48 lakh YoY.
Strategic Collaborations and International Market Expansion
Macpower actively pursued international growth, participating in the EMO Germany exhibition where it successfully showcased and sold machines, securing new foreign dealer orders. The company engaged in over a dozen MOU meetings for technology transfer and collaboration with European, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese firms. Five companies were shortlisted, and NDAs were signed with three, with two delegations already visiting Macpower, aiming to introduce import-substitute products and expand exports.
Future Growth Plans and Land Acquisition
The company is planning a total capacity of 10,000 machines over the next five years. Token money has been paid for land acquisition, with allotment expected by December 2025 or January 2026, potentially at the Vibrant Gujarat show. Phase one of the new plant, estimated at ₹125 crores including land, will add another 2,500 machines and incorporate backward integration for components like foundries. Construction is projected to start in April/May of the next financial year, with revenue generation commencing 15-16 months thereafter, targeting ₹500 crores from this new capacity.
Order Book and Market Strategy
Macpower maintains a healthy pending order book of ₹350 crores. Total bids submitted amount to ₹987 crores, with ₹627 crores in domestic bids and ₹360 crores under evaluation. While Q2 FY26 order inflow was ₹88 crores, a 5% YoY decrease from ₹93 crores in Q2 FY25, management attributes this to execution pace and potential holiday impacts. The company primarily targets Tier 3 and Tier 4 clients but is gradually expanding to Tier 2, with a current market share of 4.5%.
Capital Allocation and Funding
The company remains debt-free and plans to fund the ₹125 crore CapEx for the new plant through debt from SIDBI or other banks, potentially offering a stake to a foreign collaboration partner. Macpower has a ₹30 crore cash credit facility, which is currently underutilized, primarily for bank guarantees and LCs for import components. Management is confident in its ability to manage working capital, even with potentially longer receivable cycles from larger clients in sectors like defence.
