Additionally, the Turkish subsidiary Endoks reported an accounting-related adjustment under Ind AS 29 for hyperinflationary economies. Around Rs. 25.7 crore was recognised under other expenses. Management clarified that this was a non-monetary accounting adjustment and did not represent operating losses, cash outflow, or deterioration in business fundamentals.

Raw-Material Challenges and Execution Risks Remained Key Concerns
Management stated that execution remains the “gating factor” despite strong demand visibility. The company highlighted continued challenges in sourcing electrical-grade steel, copper, and specialised insulation systems. Input pricing also remained volatile because of geopolitical turbulence across sourcing corridors.
To address these issues, the company said it is focusing on long-term supplier agreements, dual sourcing, vertical integration, and development of the new Global Coil Manufacturing Facility at Sangli.The facility is expected to strengthen capabilities in HVDC and FACTS applications while improving manufacturing integration and reducing dependency on global supply chains.
