What was approved

- A new state-of-the-art assemblies plant to convert hoses and braid into assemblies.
- Liquid Cooling SFN Skid Assemblies Division: capacity to rise by 15,000 pieces per annum, taking it to 30,000 pieces per annum, including setting up of an additional facility.
- Investment: ₹ 124 Crores for the SS Hose & Braiding expansion and ₹ 78 Crores for the liquid cooling SFN Skid expansion.
- Combined investment: ₹ 202 Crores, financed through internal accruals, equity and bridge loan financing.
- Both projects are expected to be completed in a phased manner by March 2028.
Why the company says it is expanding
The stated rationale for both expansions is to meet future demands.
How full the plants are running
Capacity utilisation as on the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was 70% in the SS Hose & Braiding Division.
What to watch
- Progress against the March 2028 completion timeline for both projects.
- The mix of internal accruals, equity and bridge loan financing as the spending happens.
- Ramp-up of the new assemblies plant and how much of hoses and braid is converted into assemblies.
In simple terms, this is an approved growth capex plan spread across the two divisions, part of it funded from internal accruals and part through external funding. The completion timeline and the funding mix are the main items to track.
