Capacity Expansion and Future Revenue Potential
Supreme Power is nearing completion of its new manufacturing facility, spread over 6 acres, which is expected to be fully operational by December 2025, with production commencing in January 2026. This expansion will significantly increase capacity from 2,500 MVA to 9,000 MVA annually. The new facility is projected to support an annual revenue potential of INR 500-550 crores, with full utilization targeted within the next 2-3 years to achieve INR 500-600 crores in revenue.
Market Trends and Geographic Expansion
The power sector continues to exhibit steady activity, driven by substation upgradation, transmission strengthening, and renewable integration. The company is strategically expanding its geographic footprint beyond Tamil Nadu, having secured orders from KSEBL in Kerala and recently from Telangana, and obtaining approval from KPTCL in Karnataka. Management aims for a balanced order mix, with government orders not exceeding 50%.
Capital Allocation and Funding
The INR 100 crores capex for factory premise establishment and capacity expansion is being funded through a mix of warrants (INR 21 crores), loans (INR 35-40 crores), IPO proceeds, and internal accruals. Out of a sanctioned INR 40 crores loan, INR 30 crores has been utilized, with INR 10 crores remaining. Management acknowledges potential teething problems and human resource challenges with the new facility ramp-up.
Product Mix and Margin Strategy
The company emphasizes a diversified product mix across distribution, power, and inverter duty transformers, including those for solar and wind applications. While focusing on higher MVA transformers, which generally offer better margins, management expects the EBITDA margin to sustain at the 10-12% level due to increased overheads associated with scaling up operations and talent acquisition for larger projects.
