The standalone revenue from operations at the company during the reporting quarter is expected to surge 11.1 per cent on-year to Rs 2,140 crore on the back of consistent robust demand in the Powergen segment. The company posted a revenue of Rs 1,926 crore in the same period last year.

EBITDA, a metric of operational profitability, is also seen to log a significant double-digit gain of 20 per cent on a year-on-year basis (YoY) to Rs 390 crore as against Rs 326 crore during the same period last year. Furthermore, for the quarter under review, margin is estimated to scale higher by 110 bps to 18 per cent as against 16.9 per cent in the corresponding period last fiscal. Analysts expect a greater contribution from the company’s HHP line of business to aid margin expansion.

Nevertheless, the export business of the company may log 10 per cent de-growth during the review period.

Furthermore, the company’s parent Cummins Inc has continued with its earlier guidance for the India business with revenue seen edging higher by 9 per cent on the back of 
strong power generation and on-highway demand.
