Approved Investment: up to ₹25 crore in wholly owned subsidiary Monga Strayfield's Pune facility
Expected Revenue FY2026–27: ₹50–60 crore
Revenue Potential at Scale: about ₹150 crore annual revenue at scale

What the board approved

A strategic capital investment of up to ₹25 crore in Monga Strayfield Private Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary.
The investment is towards expanding precision engineering and manufacturing capabilities at the subsidiary's Pune facility.
The focus is on enclosures, cabinets and assemblies serving data centre infrastructure, transformers and critical power applications.
The capacity expansion is planned to be implemented progressively over the next six to nine months, with commissioning and utilisation aligned to operational readiness and customer requirements.

Why this business

Monga Strayfield has an established, long-standing business relationship with Vertiv Energy Private Limited, part of Vertiv, described as a global leader in critical digital infrastructure. This relationship predates Kilburn Engineering's acquisition of Monga Strayfield. The expansion is intended to strengthen the subsidiary's ability to serve Vertiv and its other customers in India, and to position the business for opportunities in international markets for precision-engineered enclosures, cabinets and assemblies.

Revenue expectations

The Group's precision engineering business is currently expected to generate revenue of approximately ₹50–60 crore during FY2026–27.
Based on the envisaged product mix, utilisation levels and a combination of in-house manufacturing and selective outsourcing, the expanded operations are estimated to have the potential to support annual revenue of approximately ₹150 crore at scale.
The pace of revenue growth is to be aligned with customer requirements and the progressive ramp-up of manufacturing operations.

Building a broader platform

Beyond this investment, Kilburn Engineering intends to leverage the combined engineering expertise and manufacturing infrastructure of Monga Strayfield, M.E. Energy and Kilburn Engineering across Ambernath, Kalyan and Pune. The Group will progressively evaluate additional product categories and solutions in data centre infrastructure, critical power, transformer equipment and thermal management, with further investments considered in line with customer requirements and commercial opportunities.

Management commentary

Mr. Amritanshu Khaitan, Chairman, said the investment in Monga Strayfield reflects confidence in the opportunities emerging across data centre infrastructure, critical power systems and the transformer industry, and that the subsidiary's relationship with Vertiv and other established customers provides a foundation for this expansion. He described it as an important step towards building a larger precision engineering platform for the Kilburn Group, scaling the business in a disciplined and capital-efficient manner.

How to read the numbers

The ₹25 crore is a board-approved investment amount; the expansion is to be rolled out progressively, not all at once.
The ₹50–60 crore is what the precision engineering business is currently expected to generate in FY2026–27.
The ₹150 crore is described as a potential at scale, based on product mix, utilisation and outsourcing assumptions; it is not a committed or guidance figure for a specific year.
Actual outcomes will depend on customer requirements and how the manufacturing ramp-up proceeds.
