Management Comment

Commenting on the results, Mr. Vivek Lohia, Managing Director of Jupiter Wagons Limited said, ‘We take immense satisfaction in sustaining our robust operational and financial momentum. Total Income surged to ~ 90,081 Lakh, an increase of 39.4% YoY. EBITDA was Rs 12,480 lakhs, witnessing substantial growth of 54.7% YoY. Our ongoing efforts to enhance the margin profile is reflected in the industry-leading EBITDA margin of 13.9% in Q3FY24, a meaningful improvement from 12.5% reported in the same quarter last year. Notably, Profit after tax recorded an increase of 79.8% YoY, reaching  Rs  8,340 lakhs. Surpassing the milestone of  Rs 90,000 lakh in quarterly income was particularly noteworthy, considering around 10 days production loss due to Puja and other festivities during the period. 

The recent acquisition of a substantial order for 4,000 BOXNS wagons from Indian Railways solidifies our standing as a premier player in the Indian wagon manufacturing industry. Additionally, contracts from the Defense Ministry for Boggie Open Military (BOM) Wagons and from private customers for Double Decker Automobile Carriers underscore our commitment to introducing cutting-edge technology into India`s mobility landscape, aligning with the principles of Atmanirbhar Bharat. In our braking systems division, we`ve successfully secured an order for axle-mounted disc brake systems amounting to ~%11,200 lakh. 

The Order Backlog has experienced significant accretion, reaching %7,07,361 lakh, further enhancing visibility. The successful Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) in December 2023, raising ~~40,300 lakh, provides the necessary fuel for our ambitious growth plans including initiatives like setting up another foundry, working capital requirements and backward integration through inorganic growth. These strategic ventures unfold amidst increased activity in braking systems and brake discs, coinciding with the imminent launch of our E-LCVs. The capital infusion is poised to fortify our balance sheet, and the enhanced return ratios underscore our disciplined approach to capital allocation. This is further evidenced by the recent credit rating of long term and short-term loans to "AA (-)” & “Al (+)” with a stable outlook validating our commitment to financial prudence and stability."
