Batliboi revenue rises 43% as orderbook reaches Rs 646 crore

Batliboi Limited raised consolidated revenue by 43% year on year to Rs 273 crore in the first half of financial year 2027 (1HFY27), while Rs 469 crore of order inflow resulted in a Rs 646 crore outstanding orderbook at September 2026. The presentation also reports earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of Rs 17 crore and profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 7 crore.

How fast did Batliboi grow in the first half of financial year 2027?

Batliboi’s consolidated revenue from operations rose from Rs 190 crore in the first half of financial year 2026 (1HFY26) to Rs 273 crore in 1HFY27, a 43% year-on-year increase cited by management. EBITDA increased to Rs 17 crore from Rs 11 crore in the corresponding prior-year period, while management said PAT doubled to Rs 7 crore. The presentation says figures in management commentary are consolidated and rounded to the nearest digit.

The first-half result compares with revenue of Rs 440 crore for financial year 2026, which Batliboi lists in its company snapshot. The presentation does not give a precise 1HFY26 PAT figure or a segment-wise revenue split in its financial summary. Management’s statement that PAT doubled is therefore a rounded comparison, but revenue, EBITDA and PAT all increased during the first six months of financial year 2027.

What does Batliboi’s Rs 646 crore orderbook show?

Batliboi reported Rs 469 crore of order inflow in 1HFY27 and an outstanding orderbook of Rs 646 crore at September 2026. The presentation identifies both the inflow through September and orders remaining outstanding at that date, alongside first-half revenue of Rs 273 crore. The orderbook is therefore the disclosed measure of work available beyond revenue already recognised in the first half.

The Environmental Engineering Division contributed one specifically disclosed project to order momentum: a Rs 52 crore contract from SAEL Industries Ltd. The contract covers design, supply, installation and commissioning of a pollution system for SAEL’s upcoming solar-cell manufacturing facility in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh. Management described the award as a milestone in Batliboi’s foray into the solar-energy sector.

Batliboi operates in Air Engineering, Textile Machinery, Machine Tools, Robotics and Factory Automation, Environmental Engineering, and water and effluent treatment. The company-summary page does not allocate the Rs 646 crore orderbook across all these activities, although the presentation identifies textile and solar energy as sectors supporting management’s financial year 2027 outlook. The Machine Tools division separately reported an order backlog of Rs 172 crore, or 27% of the overall September 2026 order backlog.

What changed in Batliboi’s portfolio during the half year?

Batliboi announced the acquisition of 100% of Penta Automation Systems Private Limited in July 2026, adding robotics and factory automation to its group structure. The Rs 19.8 crore secondary-share transaction provided for 80% to be acquired upfront for Rs 15.84 crore in cash, with the remaining 20%, valued at Rs 3.96 crore, to be acquired through five annual payments beginning in April 2027. Management describes Penta as a profitable company that customises industrial automation solutions.

Penta serves automotive, bearings, electricals and medical-equipment industries, adding an automation-focused activity to Batliboi’s established engineering operations. The presentation says the acquisition is intended to deepen the portfolio through strategic partnerships and operating synergies, but does not quantify Penta’s revenue, profit or orderbook contribution to 1HFY27. The reported Rs 273 crore first-half revenue is consequently a consolidated figure rather than a disclosed measure of Penta’s standalone impact.

Batliboi lists 586 employees across the company and subsidiaries including Quickmill, Penta, Pats and Bioconserve Renewables Envirotech. Its manufacturing locations are Surat and Umargam in Gujarat, Pune in Maharashtra, and Peterborough in Canada through Quickmill. These operations cover products including humidification and waste-collection systems, textile machinery, machine tools, industrial pollution equipment, water-treatment plants and automation systems.

What is Batliboi management guiding for financial year 2027?

Batliboi management reiterated guidance for about 10% sustainable topline growth with stable margins in financial year 2027 for the consolidated business. Management attributes the outlook to sectoral tailwinds in textile and solar energy, a growing pipeline of international opportunities, and partnerships intended to expand the portfolio and create operating synergies. This is guidance rather than a reported result, and the presentation gives no quarterly revenue target.

Management also says its expectation of meeting the guidance is subject to no further adverse impact from prolonged global conflicts on the Indian and global economy. The presentation discloses net debt to equity of 0.28 times as at March 2026, rather than at September 2026. That date distinction matters because the Rs 469 crore first-half order inflow and the July 2026 Penta acquisition came after the balance-sheet reference date.

Conclusion

Batliboi’s first-half figures combine 43% consolidated revenue growth to Rs 273 crore with EBITDA of Rs 17 crore and PAT of Rs 7 crore. The Rs 469 crore of order inflow and Rs 646 crore September 2026 orderbook provide the operating context, while the Rs 52 crore SAEL environmental-engineering contract illustrates a disclosed solar-related order.

The next developments to watch are management’s target of about 10% financial year 2027 topline growth with stable margins, conversion of the September orderbook into revenue, and integration of Penta. Under the July 2026 transaction structure, the remaining 20% of Penta is scheduled to be acquired through five annual payments starting in April 2027.
