Over the past 3 quarters, I have woken at length about our evaluation some glass lined equipment manufactured to a fully integrated precision engineering and [indiscernible] solution company. The transformation is now complete and execution, not that [indiscernible] remains a core strength and 1 of our most profitable verticals, but today standard in green technology lifted delivers complex multidisciplinary projects with the single point accountability from concept, process engineering and data design to fabrication, automation, installation, commissioning, water trial and the valuation where 2 companies globally after this step under 1 group for pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage and biotechnology industries. The [indiscernible] and standard P2s, announced and completed it during the year, and integration completely done have made this capability, real and operational brings [indiscernible] and instrumentation fully knows [indiscernible] strengthened our posing bioprocess and fermentation systems together, they make our integrated platform, 1 of the most complete in the. As I said at the outset, this was the strongest finance year in U.S. company history. And what makes particularly meaningful is that the improvement was broad revenues growth in our top growth along by revenues, not at the expense of investment. Operating cash flows in substantive and our working capital cycle tighten a discipline that is generally difficult to maintain wise cemented expanding operations at the pace we have. Taken together, -- these results reflect a business that is growing in a way. Total income [indiscernible] year-on-year growth.

On margins, Q4 are some pressure EBITDA, primarily driven by commodity prices increases in key input raw materials, we are also making deliberate investments on manpower was the area we expect to be an even stronger year ahead. These are considered investments not hard to oral. We are actively working to after this pressure through operational leverage as our revenue volume growth tighter procurement discipline and ongoing efficiency improvement across manufacturing and the project in cut. The revenue case we are arming itself the more powerful lever for margins recover. A few technology milestones worth highlighting each of the approved by not aggressive pipeline item. Our talent to [indiscernible] our Japanese partner, BLS at now over 200 lots in the book with 100 already successfully delivered. This is commercial validation at the scale. Customers are actually choosing this or graphics and the all automators not because of price. But because of superior safety, reliability and life cycle performance, that is the meaningful shift in customer behavior -- and it tells us that the market is ready for what we are building. Our connectivity glass lining reactors are progressing well. Multiple units have already been manufactured supplies and validated into the field with the encouraging feedback from regulated pharma market, our international customers, IPP expressed strong interest on distributing this globally. We will share more on the farmer launch in the quarter ahead, but the early signals are very positive on our new strategic take integrated advanced manufacturing campus constructure is progressing on plan. This facility will open the door to oil and gas, nuclear engineering, food and beverages and heavy precision in it sector, we are not currently serving at scale actually decision into global partners and several of these areas are already underway. I want to highlight 2 government decisions that consider as much strategic as they are sectoral. And I want to do them the prone the business.

This individual brings our [indiscernible] experience in precision engineering, industrial manufacturing and engineering technology with expertise in 3D plant modeling [indiscernible] schematics and advanced engineering analysis and analysis done depend board level. Both applied met us a signal of the kind of imitations we are building. One would be [indiscernible] governance are captured to match our long-term ambition. We entered the new financial year from a portion of genuine stent, our order book pipeline is healthy. Our execution capabilities are our execution capabilities are expanding, and our platform is now differentiated in ways that matter to customers or international business continues to grow, and we see meaningful Hydro had a global demand for integrated in generic solutions increase. The sectoral tailwinds remain firmly on our fever. India CDMO expansion supplied diversification globally, increasing our long-term sexes,and we are portioned and we set up [indiscernible] we are [indiscernible] and continued strong growth in the year ahead. The investments we are making today in people, in technology and infrastructure.

Unknown Executive
ExecutivesThank [indiscernible]. Good evening, everyone. My name is [indiscernible]. I would be elected to Executive Director of SETL. So I have been closely looking at SCTL as a non-Executive Director for the last 2 years. And I am confidently I can confidently say that this company is building something very unique for the future. And in that 26 -- but what is more a -- we have started equipment -- now we are addiction capability. So we are cutting which is very unique and not I never the company globally. And this is what we're trying to achieve. So we have a -- I'm very excited about the future growth potential for -- so today, we are still evolving from a traditional equipment manufacturing company into a global integrated engineering and technology platform -- and really a few companies, as I said, I've never seen such a company in the world. So we are trying to become something unique, something new to the market and not only engineering, but advanced manufacturing and turnkey project execution automation, installation, commissioning order trial, validation and documentation. So we can do this all under 1 platform in the same company for pharmaceutical and chemical industry. So this integrated capability creates. So this integrated capability create a powerful long-term business model. And I believe -- I strongly believe that [indiscernible] is strategically positioned for the next phase of growth. So the company is expanding into new sectors, including oil and gas, nuclear engineering, food and beverage, advanced process industries and high-purity engineering systems and so on. SPTL is also building international partners, as [indiscernible] mentioned, technology collaboration with a company at Japan, which will strengthen its global positioning in the coming years. So I am a Japanese. So from a Japanese perspective, there are still some areas, the [indiscernible] needs to improve. But having this Japanese strength, the quality contracts conservative, keep the promise with the Indian good culture. This combination is Lerynot only the Indian customers can benefit from our collaboration, but we would like to tackle global market in the future. Of course, we will do it step by step. But Japan, plus India, now we can we can include in the same in the other global countries. We can do the same thing. And so I believe that the financial year '27 is another major growth for CTL. So the future road map, the global partnership, technology focus, expansion plans and integrated engineering platform gives me confidence about the long-term future of and I am extremely exciting. This is an extremely exciting time for me as well. And thank you for your trust and continued support. I'm looking forward to building this future journey together. Thank you.

Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of [indiscernible] with [indiscernible] Investments.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations on good set of numbers. I think about 2 quarters back you have given that you would be having formerly revenue of INR 250 crores to INR 300 crores. Would it possible that can we expect that INR 250 crores to INR 300 crores of [indiscernible] revenue rented from FY '27 onwards?
Unknown Executive

Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And how much are we spending to modernize this further upgradation of the existing trend?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesAnother last year, we invested another INR 40 crores another 35 to 40 we are going to end. And sir, my second question is with respect to C2C engineering. How much revenue did we do in C2C engineering in FY '26. And what's the guidance? How are you planning to grow that [indiscernible] Actually, we are expecting -- this year, we basically -- and we are targeting the core is positive -- that is our capability. The integration filtration and scale up the business or -- so this year, this next year INR 60 crores because of our already we have TCR almost INR 4 crores, INR 47 crores at the moment and INR 50 crores Understood, sir. And sir, what about the organic acquisition you did in -- how has that band lock in FY '27. And what's the growth guidance for that in 1 side, I think INR 20 crores something something we did this year. because last quarter only that full total, I think this year also, we are going to tuck INR 60 crores. That is also in colo -- so if my understanding is right, sir, from C2C as well as the same tenant, you will be having an incremental INR 100 crores of sales. You're 100% increment yes, correct.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd sir, what about the margins in this B2C engineering and [indiscernible]? Are there similar margin to the it's overall margin or a better margin business?
Nageswara Kandula

And already our book is very strong and customer response also how we are going to margins improve, we are going to provide solutions. We are selling solutions. [indiscernible] product is base always comparisons always completion. But whenever we are going to commit to customer solutions, our margin improve also same we are going to implement and coming.
Operator
OperatorNext question comes from the line of [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations on a number -- that -- and -- so are -- that is not a [indiscernible] I just wanted to INR 1,000 crore order book sold -- is it driven by the renewable in India? Or are you also in market on the larger side?

ExecutivesI can't comment that contains -- we got from my clients. Okay. And what export plans export plants are good and to our pipeline, we are discussing clients and due to our comp discussion is slightly delayed. But compared to last year, this year our revenue double export revenue. So also specific where we are focusing on globe, equally Europe and U.S.
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of [indiscernible] from [indiscernible] Financial [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsIn Q3 con call, you have said that USD 3.5 million of transport is going to discuss in quarter -- but when we see on caution for number of our current 5.3% against the guidance we have given about 12% to 13%. So why the reason of this slippage, if you can explain.

Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo that remaining USD 3.5 million order that we get. So like this venue will come in next quarter or it will delay further?
Nageswara Kandula
Executives[indiscernible] are going to one, we are waiting for some customer clearances out. Okay. And my next question is like in previous phone call you have told like export and that solution and engineering has a premium margin compared to a stand-alone equipment -- as we can see like from FY '25 to FY '26, we have grown our export as well as engineering revenue has increased. But when we on margin, that margin has been down and that I told you on a that is impacted. And the second we have recruited many applies for features go. That are anoint slightly, margins are it is going to Margin is also going [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And on inventory side, our inventory has been lower when we compare from '25 to '26. Any reason on that?
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesExport is export and our projects, we are integrating the [indiscernible] metals, we need to procure and integrate and we will dispatch. It not only many things we need to then our integrated. And also, we are providing project solutions. So with a lot of inventory is required. This reduce the lead time and delivery time.
Unknown Analyst

Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesSo really [indiscernible] because we have been advancing the customers inventory. We reduced the advantage a customer well, and then we will inventory days.
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsA couple of questions. First one, sir, you mentioned about this order book. Can you take us through that, if you can break up this order book into the revenue mix and you do that [indiscernible]The order book, we can break up in glass line versus heavy engineering and the other segment?
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesNo, no, no. We don't have that. We can't disclose.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Okay. In terms of this order book, we are building these orders because of quality or fees or pricing?
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesWe are working with our Japanese partner, at quality and unit less also. Whenever we are company -- our company is a complete unique company we are end-to-end solution provider. We are selling solutions. We are not independent equipment sellers.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So we did mention about the advance that is taken by the customers, that is backed by the customers. What percentage is that? If you can share that, how much advance do we take from the customers?
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesGenerally, we will act up 20%, 30%. Sometimes customers is 10% based on customer discussed the case advance.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, we see this development, which is happening with standard projects, you intend to enter intra and EPC. I know I understand that you are giving solutions, but then in terms of the design capability, fabrication and commission. So do you think we're going up the value chain, our margins could be different.
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesNo, we are not with the concession company. We are not going to do any car [indiscernible] and procurement and construction. But we are a different unique companies. We build the unit. What is we are an equipment we are manufacturing and we are supplying execution water type designing and the concept to completion. And sometimes customers are asking -- we are -- generally, we will avert the civil path to clients. We can't do much. But clients are increasing, you can do this also. Then we don't want to do conventional construction. That is where we take a lot of time and man for involvement, sometimes today, you can see largely to 1 quarter, people are not available due to elections a lot of that we don't want to affect our business. Then we are planning to -- we have capability to free cash, we can build it through precast very quickly past building production blocks will complete within 6 months. that capabilities we have engine capabilities now. So we started 3 patrons. We do any greenfield projects coming day, any client wants, we can complete within 12 to 14 months. That is our capability. Now we made a full platform for the pharma and chemical companies.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo sir, despite this small shift, which is towards more towards the metal equipment that you might do, you are still hopeful that your margins will be in the range of maybe 17% or 20% kind of a risk.
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesThe equipment point of view, always margins are very tight, but we are always -- we provide the complete solution to clients. the advantage we are getting made feature also, it is going to improve.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So we see this healthy growth, which is there. But when we look at the balance sheet, the balance sheet comes under a little bit of stress. Understand there is expansion which is taking place at your end
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesCan you elaborate on what [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, in the inventories, CFO sir said, but in terms of the balance sheet, if you see the receivables, they are also increasing, which gives you a little bit of a shift in the ROCE also -- so that was the question that by when do you think that the cash conversion will become better from here on also.
Nageswara Kandula
Executives'27, [indiscernible], this is when the cash conversion is going to be better compared to to this is a little bit better. already compared to 25, 26 lot of improvement is -- correct -- that is INR 5 crores operation post cash flow becoming action Working capital has also become a 180160 -- so next coming year, any of our working capital base, we required really 170 because our model is business model is like that. And cost point of we are improving and the margins point of view, we are improving. This year also slightly we recruited many higher-end employees, and we invested on manpower. So that is the reason slightly. This year, compared to 26 financial year 2, we are going to grow very -- so the manpower costs also we are going to cover coming years.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAre going to increase. with that have the growth that we have, do you think that in next 2 years or so that we will have good quality or free cash flow generation also.
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of no from Square Capital.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, what is the execution time line for our current order book?
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesI think this is almost 8 months, I think, 8 months, 9 months.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay, right. And sir, you are mentioning the PPD that we are expecting a same of around RUB 18 billion -- so start on export Am I wore Yes, because your -- some recent Somers -- now I can say, please ask me again question SP-16 Yes. SP1 So in the pet you have mentioned that our global tail would be INR 18 billion -- so any too anything in pipeline that we are assessing with the clients and that you feel like that will be converted to life.
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesYes, the global TAM is there, TAM is available. India also INR 70,000 crores came -- and we are doing that in that is our scope is there. If we try Simari, thereon, we are expanding facilities and -- we are not only expanding our existing ports or and -- we are trying to at a new areas also that is mentioned in the presentation. And the global TAM is very big 1 company, I don't know an mantra company, 1 company, general basis company, 1 product they are producing, that port is the first almost a 1to1 billion. They are doing 5 million I think we are not doing about a year is very Understood, sir, but scope is there, but is there any discussion or any inquiries that we are getting or anything the inquiries we are getting a couple started supplying. That's the reason, 25 versus untax finance where our export growth is doubled, okay. also, we are expecting sales and positive response. But a big challenge to accept to Indian imports. Now we have added a Japanese technology, Japanese culture and now our global operations going to control Mr. as the further improvement is we we believe.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsUnderstood. Okay. So and my second question was regarding the inventory, which is at INR 48 crores. So what is the aging of this next 10 months, this inventory is going to clear.
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesI think this is our pillar to that Inventory is quality inventory on I'm clear [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Understood. So it's less than 180 days. That's what we said, correct [indiscernible] and maintaining at a high level of inventory, is it like we are expecting good growth in the coming year? That's why you're maintaining at a higher loan and in Yes, yes. Next this year, compared to this year, next year is very high growth. Okay. Is it not because of this any supply chain understand that you are like feeling that could come due to the small and global so. Is there anything like that, sir? Yes. Some challenges already were facing -- because of today, metal cost is 1 cost is extra tomorrow -- that is what we are facing. Aliana, me and. So 1 other -- we are also doing the raw materials. So daily wire is very high metals, particularly metals.

Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of [indiscernible].
Nageswara Kandula
ExecutivesI just had a follow-up question on the subsidy which we floated wherein we will be free will be doing cast buildings. I just want to understand why are we planning to get into this particular business, the precast business? Same question I answered 3 times in [indiscernible], the last 3 years, we are saying we are not interested to do any civil work. [indiscernible] scope we are leaving. But customers, sometimes they are doing everything you should do. So we are not interested construction business and Kantar blast, Vas, buildings -- but precast, we have capability. We cards, if you do customer also going to get benefit better of not require any covering walls, not recur any flag things or anything. So precast buildings we are offering clients. So what is the advantage? This project is going to compete within call to 14 months. Our speed is going to increase. Sometimes what happens is our instrument is ever thing is ready but the building is not ready. Building is not in our scope. So project is delayed, our dispatches are delayed. So customer is saying, wait billing-ready got a customer also losing money because of [indiscernible] product. But that gap we understand in the industry. Now we have started pre-cast buildings. So the project period is going to increase. and we is also going to be faster. The decided to enter precast buildings buildings for pharma and chemical companies. We are not going to outside. We are not going to do any domestic buildings. We are truly we are going to do in pharma and clinical production block [indiscernible] okay?
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, if you can just share that what are the key responsibilities which I assigned to [indiscernible] and going forward, how will we probably improve the strategy or the performance of the company or maybe the risk of financial integrity, if you can answer that. can please, please answer.
Unknown Executive

This is a 76-year-old company in Japan, more than 1,000 employees globally. And I have done many acquisitions in last, what, 10, 20 years. So having this experience and understanding the CTO, what we can do at the CTO and what is missing, I will share my experience with the management team and we will build a global strategy, how we can tackle other markets outside of India together with the existing management team. Did I answer your question?
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsWhat was sir, if you can just take us through that, are we looking at some acquisition or merger of that kind? Because you seem to be specializing in M&A?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesYes. But I -- of course, I cannot say yet now. But that is part of our growth strategy. But just acquiring company is just adding a number, and this is not what we should focus. So the organic growth, the combination of organic growth and the inorganic growth is necessary for our sustainable growth. we're not just looking at a 1- or 2-year growth, but we are looking at sustainable continuous growth. So yes, we -- the answer is yes, we be acquiring some companies in the future?
