INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The Indian economy grew at 6.5% in FY 2024–25, outperforming most major global economies. India’s construction and infrastructure ecosystem is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by government-led infrastructure spending, rapid industrialization, and urbanization. According to recent forecasts, India’s construction market is expected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2025, making it one of the largest construction markets in the world. Within this landscape, the Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) and steel construction sector has emerged as a critical enabler of India’s manufacturing ambitions.

According to a CRISIL report, the global PEB industry is projected to reach $32–34 billion by FY 2028, showcasing the immense growth potential of this sector. In India, the PEB market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11–12% from FY 2023, reaching an estimated $ 4 billion by FY 2028–29, opening up vast opportunities. The industry is currently witnessing unprecedented momentum due to factors such as:

  • Increased industrial capex and planned capacity expansion
  • Shift from traditional construction methods to modern steel-based solutions
  • Growth of multi-storeyed buildings
  • EV manufacturing boom and semiconductor industry investments
  • Expansion of data centre capacity
  • Rising renewable energy infrastructure

Compared to traditional construction, PEBs offer several advantages in terms of speed, cost efficiency, and sustainability. Their relatively low adoption rate in India further strengthens the sector’s multi-year growth trajectory. With India’s per capita steel consumption rising and more companies adopting ESG frameworks, the long-term structural demand for PEB solutions is set to accelerate.

Interarch is a leading PEB and structural steel manufacturer with strong engineering capabilities and decades of industry experience. It is the secondlargest integrated PEB player in India, with an approximate 6.5% market share. Other key players in the segment include Kirby Building Systems India Ltd., L&T, and Pennar Industries. In terms of capacity, Kirby Building Systems is currently the largest player in India.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

A brief overview of Interarch Building Solutions Limited’s financial performance over recent years is shown in the image below.

Interarch delivered stellar results in FY24, achieving its highest-ever revenue. It has nearly tripled its revenue from Rs. 575.96 crores in FY20–21 to Rs. 1,453.83 crores in FY24–25. Its topline has grown at a CAGR of 26.05% during this period. With management now focusing on international expansion—particularly in high-growth regions such as Central and West Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa— the company is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory. In FY25, 82% of revenue came from repeat customers, and 27% of revenue was contributed by its top five clients. This indicates strong customer stickiness while also highlighting the opportunity to diversify the customer base further.

As the business expands, the company’s balance sheet is also strengthening. Although the business model has high entry barriers due to the technical expertise and execution capabilities required, it is not highly capital-intensive. FY25 marked the first time the company paid dividends, signalling strong cash flows and the management’s intent to reward shareholders. EBITDA margins improved to 9.4% in FY25. The company’s average order size increased from Rs. 3–4 crores to Rs. 10–11 crores, contributing meaningfully to margin expansion. Interarch has been growing significantly faster than the overall industry growth rate of 8.5%. While Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) has declined over the past two years, it remains close to its five-year average of 18.25% as of FY25. The company maintains a strong cash position and has the capability to self-fund its growth plans, enabling it to scale operations and respond swiftly to emerging market opportunities.

The current and quick ratios indicate that the company’s short-term liquidity position has improved compared to the previous year. Interarch is net-debt-free and continues to generate healthy operating cash flows. The cash flow-to-asset ratio stood at 4.81% in FY25. Additionally, zero promoter pledge and stable promoter shareholding further reinforce confidence in the company’s longterm prospects among equity shareholders.


CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS & FUTURE EXPECTATIONS

Financials – Interarch delivered a very strong quarter, recording its highest-ever revenue at ₹491 crore, up 52% YoY. The growth was driven by improved order execution and higher production across its plants. This momentum also boosted profitability — EBITDA grew 65% YoY to ₹42 crore, with margins improving to 8.5%, while PAT increased to ₹32 crore, up from ₹21 crore last year.

A key highlight of the quarter was the commissioning of Phase 2 of the Andhra Pradesh plant, now the company’s fourth fully integrated PEB facility. With this expansion, total capacity has risen to 200,000 MT, giving Interarch greater flexibility to take on larger orders and accelerate deliveries. The company has also begun work on its upcoming plant in Kheda, Gujarat, further strengthening its long-term expansion roadmap.

The order pipeline remains robust. As of 31 October 2025, the order book stood at ₹1,634 crore, supported by ₹463 crore of new orders secured over the last three months. Notably, 80–85% of these orders came from repeat customers, underscoring strong trust in the company’s execution capabilities. Key clients during the quarter included Rungta Mines, Havells India, Techno Electric, and Jindal Stainless.

Overall, the quarter reflects a company that is steadily scaling — expanding capacity, improving margins, and maintaining a healthy order flow. This positions Interarch strongly as a growing industrial leader within the PEB and structural steel space.


Business and Future Expectations

Interarch has built long-term relationships with its clients, with more than fourfifths of its business coming from repeat orders. This provides strong visibility into future revenues. With the organized sector increasingly capturing a larger share of incremental industry orders, the company is expected to continue growing at 1.5x to 2x the industry growth rate.

The company is focused on expanding its footprint by opening new engineering offices in key regions to enhance design and technical capabilities, while also entering new markets. Management has revised its FY26 revenue growth guidance upward, from 17.5% to 20%. It expects to achieve Rs. 2,400 crore in revenue by FY28.

Volumes reached 41,215 metric tonnes in Q2, reflecting healthy utilization of its manufacturing facilities. The company has also planned capex of Rs. 150 crores over the next 12 months, which is expected to add 40,000–45,000 MT of additional capacity, further supporting its growth trajectory.
