Chanakya View

Swastika Infra Limited operates in the power transmission and distribution EPC segment, which benefits from continued investment in electricity infrastructure, grid modernisation, rural electrification and renewable-energy integration. Its order book of Rs. 2,036.65 crore provides strong revenue visibility compared with FY 2026 income of Rs. 505.57 crore.

Financial performance is encouraging. Revenue increased 43% in FY 2026, while profit after tax grew 51% to Rs. 41.43 crore. ROE of 35.44%, ROCE of 25.76% and the post-issue P/E of 15.24 appear attractive for a growing EPC company.

However, nearly the entire fresh issue is intended for incremental working capital. Borrowings stood at Rs. 114.64 crore, and EPC operations remain exposed to delayed customer payments, cost escalation and project-execution risks. The Rs. 32.38 crore offer for sale will not benefit the company.

The IPO may suit investors comfortable with EPC and working-capital risks.

Chanakya Recommendation: 🟑 Selective Apply; final decision should depend on GMP and subscription quality.

About Swastika Infra Limited

Incorporated in August 2019, Swastika Infra Limited provides turnkey engineering, procurement and construction solutions for power transmission and distribution infrastructure. Its work covers underground cabling, Gas Insulated Substations, Air Insulated Substations, grid substations, rural and urban electrification, street lighting and renewable-energy projects.

As of 31 July 2026, the company had completed 36 EPC power projects across six states, covering 18,579.47 kilometres of distribution lines with an aggregate contract value of Rs. 764.67 crore. It had 18 ongoing projects across six states with an aggregate order value of Rs. 2,036.65 crore.

Clients include WBSEDCL, MGVCL, APDCL, HPSEBL, UHBVN, JVVNL, UPCL, MSEDCL and RRVPNL. Several projects are funded by the World Bank or supported by the Ministry of Power.

The company follows an asset-light model, outsourcing erection work while retaining centralised procurement, engineering, supervision and quality control. It employed 182 people, including 65 engineers and technicians, as of July 2026.

Why This IPO Stands Out

βœ… Order book exceeding Rs. 2,036 crore offers substantial revenue visibility.

βœ… FY 2026 revenue grew 43% and profit increased 51%.

βœ… Healthy ROE of 35.44% and ROCE of 25.76%.

βœ… Post-issue P/E of 15.24 appears reasonable.

βœ… Established execution record across several Indian states.

Key Risks

⚠ Rs. 128.09 crore of proceeds will fund working-capital requirements.

⚠ EPC projects face execution delays, receivable and cost-overrun risks.

⚠ Borrowings remain substantial at Rs. 114.64 crore.

⚠ Promoter holding will decline from 76.51% to 57.41%.

Financial Performance and Growth

Swastika Infra has recorded strong growth. Total income increased from Rs. 211.33 crore in FY 2024 to Rs. 352.60 crore in FY 2025 and Rs. 505.57 crore in FY 2026. Profit after tax rose from Rs. 13.98 crore to Rs. 27.45 crore and Rs. 41.43 crore.

EBITDA expanded to Rs. 70.85 crore in FY 2026 from Rs. 43.89 crore in FY 2025. The company reported an EBITDA margin of 14.07% and PAT margin of 8.23%. Net worth more than doubled to Rs. 156.78 crore from Rs. 77.02 crore, strengthening its financial base.

Valuation and Return Ratios

At the upper price of Rs. 185, Swastika Infra will command a post-issue market capitalisation of Rs. 631.22 crore. Based on post-issue EPS of Rs. 12.14, the IPO is valued at a P/E ratio of 15.24. Its price-to-book value is 3.21 times.

ROE and return on net worth stood at 35.44%, while ROCE was 25.76%. These ratios are healthy, although investors should monitor whether they remain sustainable as the company executes a substantially larger order book.

Objects of the IPO

Swastika Infra proposes to deploy Rs. 128.09 crore from the fresh issue towards incremental working-capital requirements. No specific allocation has been disclosed for debt repayment or capital expenditure.

Working-capital support can help the company execute larger projects and reduce pressure caused by delayed payments. However, efficient receivables management will remain critical because government and utility contracts may involve long payment cycles.

Order Book and Execution Outlook

The order book of Rs. 2,036.65 crore is approximately four times FY 2026 income and offers considerable revenue visibility. Its presence across six states and relationships with government utilities provide diversification.

However, a large order book does not automatically guarantee timely revenue or profitability. Delays in approvals, site availability, material supplies or customer payments could affect execution and cash flows. Dependence on subcontractors also introduces quality and scheduling risks.

Final Investment View

Swastika Infra combines strong growth, healthy return ratios, a sizeable order book and reasonable valuation. These factors support a constructive view. Risks arise from working-capital intensity, outstanding borrowings, execution dependence and the promoter offer for sale.

Investors seeking listing gains should monitor GMP, anchor participation and subscription data. Long-term investors may consider a selective application if institutional demand remains healthy. Avoid aggressive bidding solely on order-book size; continued profit growth and cash-flow conversion will determine future performance.
