Prepared remarks (5 blocks)
The order book doubling guidance comes from the fact that there are several tenders for which we have already participated, and which are going to be finalized in the current financial year. More so in the Rail and metro and in Defense and Mining. Of course, it is cyclical every year. So the guidance of 20% comes from mining, 20% from defense, which may go up considering the current situation. And in real, it should be around 60%
as far as the top line is concerned in FY25, there were certain headwinds, because of which we could not achieve the aspiration, but in spite of that, we have held our ground more so because we are diversified, and when Rail could not perform, Mining has come up.
This year we will start the execution of the Bangalore Metro which we are supposed to execute, to deliver 20 metro trains to Bangalore Metro. In the defense, we already have a order for the high mobility platforms more than <strong>1,500 crore</strong> which we have to execute in the current financial year, plus, we are expecting some more orders which we have to execute under the emergency procurement. So considering all this definitely, a 20% CAGR growth is very much achievable.
On the margins, my guidance is not <strong>50 basis points</strong>. My guidance is 150 basis points in EBITDA over last year's number.
The sustenance business contributed around 26% to the top line. So this year, sustenance will again add to the top line and to the bottom line. That's the reason I'm pretty confident that 150 basis point EBITDA should be achievable. Ultimate aim is to see to it that sustenance contributes more than 30% to the top line we will not end the year at Rs. 28,000 crores order book. We will end the year at around Rs 22,000, Rs 23,000 Crs
