The company’s revenue breakdown includes ₹105 crores from Critical Power and ₹43 crores from EV Chargers. Overall, it generated ₹315 crores from Critical Power and ₹76 crores from EV Chargers. EBITDA margins were slightly lower due to the acquisition of Tritium, a global EV charging company.
Segment update
The EV charging segment saw a mild dip in H1 due to slower electric vehicle sales, as consumers awaited new models. However, October’s model launches led to a surge in sales, and growth is expected, fueled by government policies supporting electric buses, trucks, and expanded sales channels.
Revenue in the critical power segment remained stable in H1 FY’25 due to the telecom industry’s cyclical nature. The company is engaged in major government projects like BharatNet, aiming to connect panchayats with fiber. Opportunities in hybrid systems and solar solutions for areas with weak grids are also being explored.
