Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to Sanghvi Movers Limited Q2 FY 2024-'25 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference is being recorded. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Sham, the CFO of Sanghvi Movers Limited. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Thank you very much, Shema, for the introduction. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you very much for attending [ H1 FY '21 ] Analyst and Investor Call of Sanghvi Movers Limited. My name is Sham Kajale, Chief Financial Officer; and along with me is Mr. Rishi Sanghvi, the Managing Director of our company.
So I will just quickly run through the highlights of the financial performance of the company, and then I'll open the session for -- floor for the question and answer, if any. So in terms of financial performance for the quarter ended September 2024, our income from operation was INR 156 crores, which is at par with INR 151 crores that we achieved in Q1 FY '25.
For H1 FY '25, our income from operation was INR 307 crores, higher than INR 286 crores in H1 FY '24. This includes income from operation of INR 256 crores and INR 51 crores from renewable and Project EPC business.
For Q2 FY '25, our average capacity utilization was 68% vis-a-vis 77% in Q1 FY '25. The average blended yield for Q2 FY '25 was 2.15% vis-a-vis 2.04% in Q1 FY '25. The increase in yield is primarily on account of pricing advantage with respect to certain short-term contracts that we executed in Q2.
Similarly, for H1 FY '25, the average capacity utilization was 73% vis-a-vis 83% in H1 FY '24. The average blended yield for H1 '25 was 2.09% vis-a-vis 2.15% in H1 FY '24. Although the management has informed the investor that our Q2 FY '25 performance would be subdued, we have achieved on par performance with our Q1 FY '25 financial results.
The drop in capacity utilization and the yield is primarily on account of prolonged and early monsoons and slowdown in private and government CapEx due to general elections. Our overall EBITDA percentage for H1 FY '25 was 52% on a consolidated basis compared to 62% in H1 FY '24. Our EBITDA margin for the Crane business remained as expected at 55%, while the overall EBITDA margin for renewable and Project EPC business is around 15%.
The consolidated EBITDA, as mentioned, is 52% first due to increase in the renewable and Project EPC business from INR 25 crores in FY '24 vis-a-vis INR 50 crores for revenue achieved in H1 FY '25, nearly 2x there is an increase in the business volume in the first 6 months.
This business volume is driven with lower EBITDA. The second factor for the consolidated EBITDA is on account of lower revenue from Crane rental business. For the 6 months period ended 30th September 2024, our net profit after tax was INR 70 crores vis-a-vis INR 79 crores in H1 FY '24.
Our company has done a CapEx of INR 89 crores in H1 FY '25. And in H2 FY, nour -- we propose to do additional CapEx of INR 70 crores to INR 80 crores depending on the market dynamics, order visibility and ongoing demand scenario. Thus on the annualized basis, the company may do total CapEx between INR 160 crores to INR 170 crores in the current financial year. This is curtailment of our initial CapEx plan for FY '25 and is in line with our comments given in Q1 investor conference call.
We have sold 18 cranes, which includes some cranes which we have shown under the asset held for sale in H1 FY '25 and generated profit of INR 8 crores from sale of these cranes. The company has sold surplus freehold land and 3 residential plat in Chennai and generated profit of INR 11.60 crores.
As on 30th September 2024, the company has a fleet of 351 cranes aggregating to INR 2,550 crores. This is excluding some 40-plus cranes, which are shown under the asset held for sale. As on 31st October 2024, our order book was INR 898 crores, of which INR 640 crores will be executed in current financial year, that is FY '24-'25.
The balance order book worth INR 254 crores will be executed in the next financial year that is FY '25-'26. The spillover of EPC order book is primarily due to a delay in project offtake and on-ground delays. Thus, the order book for the current financial year is INR 644 crores, out of which we already clocked a revenue of INR 307 crores in the first 6 months ended 30th September 2024.
The breakup of crane order book and EPC order book is already shared in the investor presentation, which we uploaded on the website of BSE and NSE. Based on the current order book position, inquiry pipeline and the possible extension of current contracts with the customer, we expect 10% to 15% top line reduction in the crane rental business in the current financial year.
However, on a consolidated basis, that is Crane rental plus renewable plus Project EPC business, we expect to register top line growth of 15% to 20% plus on account of volume driven in the renewable and the project EPC business. With this, I would like to hand over the floor to Rishi for his further comments.
Over to you, Rishi.
Thanks, Sham. Now in order to leverage some of our core capabilities. And with an intention to provide value-added services to our customers, we have started the renewable and project EPC businesses 2 years back. As mentioned by Sham and also earlier, this is a high-volume, low EBITDA business.
In the current financial year, the company expects to achieve more than INR 250 crores of top line from the combined renewable and project EPC business. This is a 10x growth as compared to the last financial year 2024. And further, we will have an order backlog of more than INR 250 crores, which will be executed in the next financial year.
This order backlog will continue to grow throughout the year based on a very healthy inquiry pipeline. Currently, due to the competition intensity and fragmentation, there is limited headroom for growth in the crane rental business. Therefore, we, as a management team, have strategically taken a call to carve out Sangreen Future Renewables, which is primarily focused on the renewable business and further to develop the project EPC business that will make use of and leverage our relationships with our existing customers. These 2 verticals are less capital intensive, but have high working capital requirements. Through a business transfer agreement that is a slum sale, we have created 2 wholly owned subsidiaries of Sanghvi Movers that have been in operation since 1st October 2025. Also, we have transferred more than 50 employees and other assets into the new entity, which is primarily Sangreen Future Renewables Private Limited, and we have also appointed the CXOs to drive the P&L.
The said spin-off of the Renewable and Logistics business aims to unlock the full potential of each business by providing dedicated attention and management, which will eventually lead to value creation for all our shareholders. Our company and the management has already taken a number of strategic initiatives for the growth of the overall group, primarily reactivation of Phase 2, which is our engagement with the consultant Bain & Company to explore engine to growth opportunities, for which our company has already earmarked and built the necessary growth capital.
Furthermore, we have taken effective steps to incorporate 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Sanghvi Movers in the GCC for our geographic expansion of the Crane rental business into the KSA. I hope that all the investors have had the opportunity to take a look at our investor presentation as well as the financial performance, which has, as Sham has indicated, already been uploaded on the BSE and NSE.
With that, I would now like to hand it over back to Seema, who can open up the floor for Q&A. Thank you.
[Operator Instructions] We'll take our first comes from the line of Saurab Jain from Sunidhi.
Earlier you had guided for a stronger [indiscernible] H2 close to INR 15,000 crores top line with 50% EBITDA margin. Now these EPC orders spilling over to next year, do you see exiting the current year with INR 700 crores plus top line and higher EBITDA margin because those EPC contracts are not there in this fiscal now, so 55% or higher margin?
So I will take this question. In the opening remarks, we have mentioned that we already achieved a top line of INR 50 crores from the EPC business, and we have an order book of more than INR 200 crores to be executed from this business in this financial year. So top line from this business itself in the current financial year will be in excess of INR 250 crores. So what was your question?
So this INR 250 crores worth of orders which are spilling to next fiscal, so can we see higher margins now because the EPC revenue was supposed to be recorded in this current fiscal? So that should leave us with higher margins, right, higher than we had initially expected.
I will tell you. See, we have an order book of more than INR 500 crores, out of which partly will be executed in the current financial year, and there will be a spillover of INR 250 crores worth of order in the next financial year. These orders, we are already packed actually. So the numbers are already frozen. So the EBITDA margin in this business, as you know, the EPC business doesn't have normally 2-digit EBITDA margin.
So based on our expertise and currently, we are subcontracting of this activity to build our capabilities. So overall EBITDA margin in the EPC business will remain between 15% to 16% in the current financial year as well as in the next financial year.
Okay. And sir, earlier we had guided for yield to fall below 2% in the September quarter in the rental business. However, it has gone up a bit, as you have mentioned in the opening remarks that was because of short-term contracts. So how do you see yields to behave going forward in the second half and...
I'll take this question. So we expect yield to remain in and around 2%, plus or minus. And this is the guidance we can give for this financial year.
Okay. And sir, one more question on windmill segment. So which are the top 2, 3 players who contributed to our windmill revenue, which makes the highest contribution to our top line?
No, we don't disclose this information. It's a trade secret.
Okay. And sir, one last question from my side. If you can elaborate a bit on this proposed formation of a company in GCC for geographic expansion of paint business. So what kind of opportunity do we see and what kind of investment are --we [indiscernible] here.
Yes. So I think I can answer this question. Thank you for asking it. So the GCC is a very promising market. We have -- it is an alternate market to our domestic market. So it allows us to leverage our core expertise into an international market that has a massive opportunity size.
We plan to invest around between INR 400 crores to INR 500 crores over the next 3.5 years. And there are several opportunities in the GCC with respect -- in the GCC specific in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with respect to large construction projects that are called giga projects and other civil infra projects around the World Cup and the World Expo. So there is a good potential market there for the next 15 years. And we believe that we are well poised to build and leverage our core expertise into this new market.
The next question is from the line of Sunil Jain from Nirmal Bang Securities.
Sir, this project EPC has turned in negative margin if you see the PC. So what is the reason for that? And how it is likely to behave...
So to be frank with you, this business at a nascent stage. So last year, we earned a healthy EBITDA margin from the project EPC business. There no negative margin as such. Basically, we are now consolidating this business. And overall, the project EPC business will also fetch the EBITDA margin between 15% to 16% going forward. Earlier, we got some contracts where the -- we got some good pricing, and that's why the EBITDA margin was healthy in the initial 1 or 2 contracts. But now this business will become more mature and saturated. So going forward, our EBITDA margin will remain between 15% to 16%.
Also, what is prudent to note is that the size of those orders last year were very small.
Correct.
And as we expand, again, the volume will come, but at lower EBITDA.
Yes.
So this wind EPC and Project EPC, is there anything overlap or both work separately?
There are 2 distinct offerings that we -- for the renewables, we do our activities under Sangreen Future Renewables, which is an end-to-end construction of wind farms, and we have a very solid inquiry pipeline in that business.
For project EPC, we are primarily focused on hydrocarbons. So we are working across multiple refineries. And there, we do a number of activities like structures, fabrication, piping, insulation, ducting, electronic instrumentation. So these are composite jobs with -- where you -- and of course, equipment correction. So these are composite jobs primarily tailored for the hydrocarbon sector.
And sir, second question if you see how we should build in the EPC working capital cycle means how much is the debtors day inventory and credit this quarter, it shows a bit higher compared to the previous quarter.
Yes. I will take this question. So overall debtors days have slightly increased in the Q2 of FY '25. This is primarily because there was some delay in execution of project, not only from the Crane business, but in the EPC business, primarily on account of monsoon season. But we are keeping our eye open and making every efforts to recover the days from the -- recover dues from the debtors, not only from the crane business, but also from the EPC business also. So going forward, you will see some kind of improvement in receivable days in the crane business as well as the...
So earlier you were indicating that EPC business will be having a working capital cycle of around 45 days. So will that extend or there could be some variance to that?
So most of the orders that we back in the EPC segment, they are IP or are backed by good PE funds and pension funds. So on a technical side, we don't foresee any lapses in getting the payments from the IPP. But overall, one can assume -- safely assume that receivable days in the DC business will remain between 45 to 60 days...
We take the next question from the line of Gaurav Agarwal from Lineone Capital.
Sir, the Crane Rental business, I think in the first half, we did INR 256 crores. And in FY '24, it is INR 593 crores. Is my number correct?
In FY '24...
INR 594 crores.
Correct. Total yes, absolutely right.
Yes. And sir, for this year, you said we are expecting 10%, 15% kind of a decline from FY '24 levels?
Right.
Understood. Sir, can you help us understand what exactly leading to this decline in crane rental business? Is it because of competition? Or is it because of slowdown in the projects and CapEx as you -- and if it is if it is more a slowdown, where exactly are you seeing this slowdown more on the government side or on the private side? And what is giving you this thinking that this slowdown should extend in 2H also?
Yes. So I can answer that question. So first, to begin with, there is an increase in competition intensity and fragmentation. There is no denying this. But overall also, the economy is going through a structural slowdown. And I had indicated the same in the Q1 investor call.
If you look at any of the metrics, for example, the performance of the NT50 companies, it's today at a 5-year low in terms of their results. There's surplus Government spend has substantially reduced, which is well documented. There is an issue with fund flow to site, on-ground execution is muted.
Project offtake is delayed or canceled, and there is a massive shortage of skilled and semi-skilled manpower at site. There's high inflation, which is preventing the RBI from holding back its decisions on interest rates. And due to all of this, we are -- of course, there is a prolonged monsoon, which we already discussed. So effectively, we have lost potential billable revenue for the first half, which we cannot recover. We are in a rental service business. So it's not possible for us to recover that. So all these reasons put together, we are saying that overall, we do see a 10% to 15% drop in the crane rental business, and that is where we believe that we have closed the...
Sir, would it be possible for you to tell us what was your range in the second half last year for current income so that we can do kind of...
It's available on our investor presentation. So I request you to please take a look at it.
One second, I can give that number is roughly around INR 300 crores...
The next question is from the line of Manan Mandhu from Wolford PMS.
I had one question, sir. Even as you said that we'll be looking for the H2 will be better. And even as you answered the previous question. So I just wanted to clarify that in the Suzlon and Inox Wind, they have to our orders and Suzlon is saying that they want to set up around 5 to 6 gigawatt every year, then how come you are saying that crane rental will not do well going forward?
So I can answer that question. It doesn't matter what order book these OEMs have. What needs to be looked at is what is the actual capacity addition on site. So in the first 6 months, the company has only added 1.5 gigawatts. In the first quarter, it was lesser than what we had done in the last year. So although the large OEMs have an impressive order book, the offtake on-ground execution has been delayed, again, because of a prolonged monsoon. And that's why you can see this discrepancy.
Right. So in H1, it has not happened, I agree, monsoon. But H2, it should pick up, right? So if that happens, then...
It should pick up. But there are a lot of challenges in the project as a management, we believe that the country would add anywhere between 3.5 to 4 gigawatts this year. Is that right, Sham?
Yes. See, even if you take a very rough estimate, in the first half, India as a whole, they have put 1.5 gigawatt of wind installation. And effective deployment or the effective execution for this project was roughly for 3 months because 3 months, there was a heavy monsoon.
So even if you double the capacity in next 6 months, India will end up between 4 to 4.5 gigawatts. As you mentioned that OEMs have a solid order book, why it is not being reflected in the SML revenue? They have a solid order book, which will be executed over a period of 2 to 3 years that one needs to understand.
So on an annualized basis, if they are ending up -- if the India is ending up with the 4 or 4.5 gigawatt wind installation, it doesn't mean there is that will be captured in the SMB revenues. So there is onground delay in project execution and the order book that OEMs are having that will be executed over a period of next 2 to 3 years.
Got it. Okay. So this year, you are saying that mostly on overall consolidated basis, our revenues will grow by 10%, 15% on due to our project EPC business?
Renewables and project EPC, yes, correct.
Okay. Got it. And how do you see like going forward because we had U.S. elections also elections also, we have a state elections, which is why there might be a slowdown. But yes, going forward, like FY '26, how do we see our crane rentals and more on the on-ground work? How do we see that?
We are hopeful that there will be an uptick. But as I've already commented on the economy, you can consider that position with respect to your question.
We take the next question from the line of Kushi Parekh from [indiscernible] Family Office.
I just want to understand one thing. So Indian Crane Rental business, so we have enjoyed a network of depots across India that helps us bring us the cost efficiency. We've also had this long track record for the debt management. I'm presuming because of that, we have had lower volume cost versus our PS. So how do we see things changing when we are looking to invest about INR 300 crores, right, you mentioned in the GCC region?
Yes, over a period of next 3 to 4 years is more than INR 400 crores.
Right. So how kind of -- how are we positioned when it comes to competition over there? Because in India, we do already enjoy some of these benefits being one of the largest Indian out. So how does that...
So obviously, the depot network is something that we will not be able to translate in the KSA. But there are a lot of competitive advantages that Sangiovers will bring in terms of safety, operational optimization and maintenance and uptime of the equipments.
So what we are bringing to the KSA is our operating capabilities, our safety as well as our investment in terms of assets. We will be partnering or rather we are in the midst of identifying a partner who can support us a strategic or operative local partner who can support us in the KSA, and we will be formalizing the relationship shortly. So going forward, we believe that we can another engine of growth similar to Sanghvi movers in the KSA and the GCC, broader GCC area -- Plus based on our understanding and the market research that we did, this business in KSA or GCC is having a healthy EBITDA margin between 40% to 50%. So that is also an added advantage. That's why we took this bet to expand the crane business beyond Indian territory.
Okay. And will this also involve sending some of our current operators from India to KSA?
Yes, not just the operators, we'll be taking a lot of our core capabilities [indiscernible]
Okay. And after all these things, where do we see our position in the KSA market? I mean like in India, we are definitely the #1 player in terms of volumes. After 5 years down the line, where will we be in the overall market?
It's too early to comment. So.
The next question is from the line of Harsh [indiscernible] from Elegant Family Office.
So I am referring to Page 18 of your investor presentation, where you have given breakup of orders on hand to be executed in H2 FY '25, where it is crane order book for H2 FY is INR 138 crores. Can you explain it to me? There is some confusion...
See, we have a total order book to be executed in the current financial year is INR 644 crores, out of which INR 307 crores worth of revenue is already clocked in the first 6 months of the current financial year.
Hence the balance order book to be executed from 1st of October 2024 to 31st March 2025 will be INR 337 crores. And further, I've given the breakup of that INR 337 crores of order book between the Crane business and the EPC business.
So EPC business, we have order book of INR 199 crores and the Crane business, as on that date, we have order book of INR 138 crores. This is excluding the possible extension of the order that we currently have with our existing customers. This is excluding the new order which we will be bagging in the next 6 months. This is excluding the possible over time, which is 1 and 2% at over time we get is excluding that position.
Okay. Because if we go by this Crane rentals of INR 138 crores over the next 6 months, that will lead to almost 33% of decrease in the top line compared to last year.
Yes. But we are not factoring the extension, the possible extension with our existing customers. We are also not factoring the new orders that will be backed in the next 6 months.
Okay. I hope that we get a lot of orders...
There are a lot of orders that we already have where the extensions are possible. And this is a typical situation in the crane rental business or any equipment rental business.
And if that doesn't happen, the growth can be much higher. Is that right?
It will not be. That position will not arise. Things are better as compared to the H1 because there's no monsoon. So we'll definitely try to deploy the cranes if it gets released from our existing customer.
The next question is from the line of Riya Mehta from Aequitas Investments.
Sir, first question is with regard to the CapEx. We have reduced our CapEx for the full year to around INR 160 crores, INR 170 crores. So could you help me with that [indiscernible] is it because we have shifted the secondhand cranes and what is the provided reason?
See, basically, Riya, to be frank with you, depending upon the ongoing demand scenario, market dynamics, order visibility and the competition threat that we have, the management has cautiously reduced the CapEx that initially planned for the current financial year. So we don't want to end up buying a cranes and keeping it idle unless we have a clear visibility unless we have assurance of deployment of those cranes.
Got it. What would be your current gross block for cranes?
INR 2,550 crores.
INR 2,550 crores. And in terms of our they are major in debt mutual funds, right?
Yes, debt mutual funds, then commercial papers, corporate bonds. We have not invested any money in equity or equity-oriented scheme.
We take the next question from the line of Samium Jain from Acellus Investment Manager.
Just one question from my end. On the GCC piece, when do you expect the revenue to start flowing for us for the DCC business?
We hope to make our first dollar in revenue this financial year. We hope, that is the operative plan as of right now.
The next question is from the line of Anuj Sharma from M3 Investments.
Rishi, you made a reference that this slowdown is structural. So what are the pointers which make you think this is more structural than maybe a temporary one?
The private and government CapEx have slowed down. There is a surplus capacity in the market. And directionally, all most industries are currently unable to deliver. If you look at the renewable side, for example, there is a lot of news on the order booking of most companies, of most OEMs. However, the on-ground execution is very muted. There is a fund flow issue. Money is not flowing in the ecosystem. And so therefore, decisions are not being taken.
Okay. So we have been through multiple cycles similar to this. How long can you think this cycle, this sort of down cycle can continue?
No, I would have to be appointed as the governor of RBI, if I could answer that question.
All right. All right. No, this was just based on historic cycles. But the next question is, historically, whenever you entered a down cycle, this business used to throw a huge amount of cash.
But now there's added business model of an EPC. And EPC will keep bloating as the environment has subdued. So our advantage, which was cash flow historically in a down cycle will actually be shed by EPC business. So how do you propose to manage this transition or rather this cash management?
Again, EPC is not CapEx heavy. It is working capital heavy. Plus our balance sheet, if you look at it, Sham, what is the cash on hand and investment?
INR 153 crores.
So we have a low debt-to-equity ratio. We have managed our CapEx prudently. We are well poised to take advantage of the demand. We have been very selective or judicious about the kind of customers we are working with.
So cash management from a CapEx standpoint is, the balance sheet is sound due to our surplus cash reserves, which are invested. And on the EPC side due to being prudent about the customer selection and the kind of customers we are working with. The difference between traditional EPC and putting up a wind farm or a hybrid wind farm by an IPP is that the complete project financing is locked in as these sort of projects are backed by private equities, sovereign funds and pension funds. So we are comfortable working with these companies from a payments perspective.
Sure. That's helpful. And one last question. See, again, if I look at our old cranes, they were mainly German cranes, German or, let's suppose, Western cranes. If we see the recent additions in the last 3, 5 years, it's been predominantly dominated by SAI. Does -- how do you -- how does the life of crane change because of this change in manufacturer mix? That's my last question.
As a promoter and as a businessman, I'm of the firm opinion of you get what you pay for. So German cranes are -- have the best engineering and technology. I would say the engineering and the manufacturing quality of a German crane is unsurpassed and unparalleled. However, there are a lot of reasons why we have made this shift. One is that the Chinese technology or the Chinese cranes, they are very quickly evolving, and they have jumped in leaps and bonds.
The second is we have -- the hub heights in the country have continuously been increasing and offtake has reached now 140 meters. So there is a need for us to invest in bigger and bigger cranes in order to meet the hub highs. And in order to stay ahead of the demand curve, we have invested in these bigger cranes and therefore, taking the call from a CapEx point of view to buy Chinese cranes. And finally, if you see the other cranes, I think in the -- Sham, we have sold 18 cranes in this quarter or in the first half of the year.
Yes, 18 in the first half.
So these cranes most -- I mean, a majority of these cranes, I would say, more than half are Chinese cranes that we got in 2008, 2009, 2010. So it's almost been a 1.5 decades. And we are selling them above the much, much higher than their WDB value and in some cases, almost between 50% to 70% of the acquisition -- historical acquisition cost.
So all put together, that's a validation of the replacement value or the market value of these Chinese equipment. So all put together, I think it is a conscious call that we are taking. And so far, we are succeeding in that.
Just one more thing. The lead time to get the German crane is higher than the Chinese crane. So suppose you want to place an order for 650 tonne or 750 tonne a German crane, the lead time is between 9 months to 12 months. However, in case of Chinese crane, you can get the crane within 3 to 4 months, plus they are offering attractive credit terms also.
We take the next question from the line of Gaurav Agarwal from Lineone Capital.
Sir, if I look at your second half '25 growth over your second half last year, so it is -- it shows around 17% kind of degrowth. Is the number correct what I'm getting, assuming 15% kind of degrowth in the overall rental business for FY '25?
H1 FY '24, our total income from operation was INR 286 crores. And in H1 FY '25, our income from operation was INR 307 crores. So there is a slight...
Talking about rental business...
Yes. okay. Yes. So there is a slight degrowth in the rental revenue. Yes, you point is right -- valid.
Point is first half, we degrew by 13%. If I assume your first half FY '24 numbers were INR 294 crores versus this first half INR 256 crores, what you told me for second half last year was INR 300 crores. And if I assume 15% degrowth on total FY '24 Crane revenue, I get INR 505 crores revenue.
I think first half, I get INR 249 crores revenue for the second half, implied second half revenue. If I see Y-o-Y, it comes to 17% decline, which is even higher than what you did in the first half, assuming there was a prolonged monsoon election, everything, which will not be the case in the second half. So just trying to understand why are we expecting even higher degrowth in the second half when all these one-off factors which were there in the first half will not be there in the second half?
Okay. On a year-on-year basis, I will give the answer. Last year, our income from crane operation was INR 593 crores. This year, we expect that it will reach INR 500 crores. So there will be decrease in the top line with respect to crane rental business by INR 93 crores. So INR 93 crores, you are by INR 593 crores. The effective reduction in the top line will be 16%, which we already guided in the opening remark.
Okay. Understood. I'm just asking, sir, first half, we had a lot of one-off challenges like election, long monsoon, et cetera, which will not be there in the second half. And despite those factors being not there in the second half, we are still guiding for a lower revenue in the crane rental business. So is it something like we are overly conservative in guiding? Or is it like something we are seeing...
So if we have lost the revenue in the first half of the year, we are not in a production business. We can't like build up inventory and sell 2x our production capacity.
That is fine. I'm not talking about first half to be recovered in the second half. I'm just saying second half last year, it is INR 300. I'm going to achieve INR 300 in the second half is what I'm trying to understand.
So the guidance that we have given is based on the order book that we have, the possible extension of the current existing contract with our customers and also the new order that we can back plus the small CapEx that we are doing in the second half. Based on these factors, we have given a guidance, which might be on a conservative side, but I think that is doable. I don't want to give any very optimistic answer to the investors.
No, if we give guidance and we don't achieve it, then there is an issue. And if we give under guidance...
No, that's always good. I'm just trying to understand because you are guiding for a lower like a higher degrowth in the second half versus first half, while the one-off factors will not be there. So just trying to understand more on the CapEx side, whether you are seeing things to become worse as compared to how they were in the first half of last year -- of this year. So that is where I was trying to understand.
The next question is from the line of Arjun Agarwal, an individual investor.
I just want to know that what kind of means you have guided regarding GCC? So just extension of that. I just wanted to know that what kind of revenue can we envisage down the line 2 to 3 years maybe?
Yes. So thanks for asking this question. As I already mentioned, it's a little early -- too early to comment. So allow us some time and we should disclose.
Okay. And the second one is prior to this quarter, we gave order book, which is executable in the current financial year only. Am I right on that means the last year?
Yes. Yes. Your question was...
Year, I think you have given order book that is executable in another means in FY '26 also. So what kind of means can we expect moving forward?
1
Moving forward, we'll use the format that we used in the last reporting cycle because there has been some onground delays in execution of projects, more particularly the wind EPC project. So we thought it prudent instead of giving the order book as a whole, we should give the spillover of the order book, which will happen or which will be executed in the next financial year. So from the next quarter onwards, you will get the information in the format which we recently shared in the investor presentation.
Okay. That is the total order book, not...
Total order book that will be executed in the current financial year and the order book that will be spill over in the next financial year. So all the information will be captured and shared, yes.
We take the next question from the line of Dev Kabra from [indiscernible] PMS.
So my first question is about your company registered in the DC. You said that you will make an investment of around INR 400 crores to INR 500 crores in the coming years. So when can we expect revenues to kick in? And how much revenues can we see in the next 3 to 4 years -- 3 to 5 years?
So the operator plan is to get the first dollar in, in terms of revenue in this financial year. It's too early to comment on the kind of revenue outlook for the next 2 to 3 years.
Okay. And then as you said that you all have a low debt-to-equity ratio and then you also want to make investments of about INR 500 crores and other investments. So do you all plan on raising any debt?
Yes, of course. It is a plan for next 3 years. So certain amount of rate will be range in the balance sheet and certain in CapEx.
You could amount...
See, everything is at the evolving stage at the nascent stage. Unless we freeze the CapEx, how much amount of money that we have planned to invest in GCC or KSA, I'm not able to really give a true picture on that right now.
Okay. No problem. And being in these many businesses, do you all plan about having a demerger anytime soon? Any comments?
No comment right now.
Okay. And my last question would be regarding the credit cycle and what are your credit terms with your creditors?
Creditors or debtors?
On the credit cycle.
You're talking about the credit period that we allow our debtors customer or -- Yes, with the customer. Normally, it's 30 to 45 days depending upon the profile of the customer.
Ladies and gentlemen, we take that as the last question for the day. I would now like to hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.
Rishi?
