Good afternoon all. So Thaai Casting Limited is established in 2011, and we have different verticals. We are into die casting, high-pressure die casting in gas and machining of ferrous and nonferrous. And recently, we have moved towards gearing and heavy machiny.arious certification from ISO 1401 and various other certificates. And we have in and around which comp around plus acres of land. And we have a good partnership with a lot of OEMs like Tata, Hyundai, we are also recon we are 15 years of operation into this business, and we have one subsidiary group, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Casting Limited that is nitdingasiting in that. And we have 50-plus and 40-plus customers is a milestone that 2011, we have started our die casting as a partnership firm. And in 2014, we entered into Hyundai by getting ISO and I certifications. And we have also expanded our machining operations. In 2019, we entered into Mi Suzuki to produce parts to them by green certified vendor. And we also got the best award from T. And then 2021, we moved from rental area to the area, which is currently 9,000 square meters. And we also strength increased our capacity from then onwards in terms of machining and casting -- in 2022, we got best awards from RSansmissions and we got a lot of new customers and recognized with global OEMs. In 2023, we converted to Public Limited. And we also got GEova,Eindmill sector approval for induction army. And we also got the best award from -- for the quality from. In 2024, we completed listing and we also passed 4-pillar audit, which is a European-based audit. And we also got BAS approval for high die casting. And we also certified with ISO 45001 and 14001 -- and we also commissioned one of the India largest gas furnace. And in 2025, we entered into heavy machining and [indiscernible] segment, where the machines are from completely European makes and then high precision machineries. And our current order book stands at over INR 600 crores, and we also got best award from RSB transmission. Next ma'am. We can skip ma'am.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#11

Vaishnavi ma'am, only the important [indiscernible] just please keep that.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#12

So you can see these certifications, ISO [indiscernible].

Unknown Executive

Executives
#13

Vaishnavi ma'am, please go to the next slide.

Unknown Executive

And these are the awards and recognition we got from our customers. In [indiscernible] die casting, we have about 20-plus machines ranging from 125 tonnage to 1,300 tonnage, where we can produce from 9 grams to 9 plus kgs of components as for [indiscernible]. And in machining of nonferrous after casting, we are doing BMC and CNC machining for our aluminum parts. So a lot of critical operation may involve in this. So in machining of ferrous, we have recently moved towards gear shipping and heavy machining, where we have invested in European ultra-precise machines. So we got the machining setup of Milton machines and vertical turning centers, HMGs and [indiscernible] trainings for our ferrous machining. Induction earning, we have [indiscernible] set up of machine ranging from [indiscernible]. You can move to the next slide, Madam? So there is a recent expansion towards gear shipping and heavy machining. So we have been awarded 5 years project for one of the main wind mill gearbox shafts and planetary career. So this project is undergoing and the plant has been almost ready 90% and all the works has been ready and machine is on installation stage. So there's nitriding furnaces. So it is one of the India's largest furnace and we can do [indiscernible] of up to 2.5 meters in diameter. And we have 3 furnaces right now installed and running in a full phase production. And then further, we have got orders for another 3 furnaces, which is in pipeline and furnaces are getting ready. Next, madam. So we have 6 plus -- we have 4 plants in and around [indiscernible] which compels around 6-plus acres, and we have rigorous certification systems and [indiscernible] parts on the direct [indiscernible] basis. And we have advanced both 4 axis and 5 axis, C&C setups. Yes, madam, next slide. So this is a glimpse of our heavy machining that we have recently purchased from European make. So all of these machines are very highly advanced machines that is of recent technologies. And all of the controllers are very recent and can able to micro adjustment of the every part. So one is WFL machine, which is we call is Milton machine. It is a multi-access machine. So we can produce part up to 4.5 meters in length and 670 mm in diameters. And the next machine is Tarak, which is vertical turning machine. So we can do turning as well as milling operation in this machine. So that has a table capacity of 17 tonnes. We can do parts up to 17 tonnes and diameter of 2,800 mm. And another machine is [indiscernible] shipping. So there is used for all the spline or being -- sorry, spline, helical and all those kind of gear systems we can make in the machine. This is also very highly advance and very precise machine. So for testing all these components, what we are producing in this machine, we have invested in CMM machine, which is called as coordinated measuring machine. So all the parts will be inspected in those machines, which is -- the CMM bridge-type machine also, it's one of the latest and very few one have in south, these kind of machines. So we can measure parts from 3-meter to 4.5 meters and [indiscernible] about 2.5 meter in height, we can able to measure in this machine. Yes, madam. So these are the lathe facilities we have -- we are using in our gas nitriding system. We have micro [indiscernible] microscopic for our white layer measurements and portable hardness stress test and much more. So these are our glimpse of our production systems. You can just run through, madam. Run through it.

Thank you. The floor is now open for Q&A session. [Operator Instructions] So we have first question from Mr. [indiscernible].

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#16

Sir, first, I wanted to understand what is the volume that we did in FY '25 and FY '26. If you could just give me the numbers.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#17

Yes, in FY '25, we did around INR 123.10 crores , sir. And in FY '26, we did around INR 146.36 crores.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#18

Sir, I wanted to understand the volume numbers. So I'm looking at your annual report, sir. So is it -- did we -- 1,200 metric ton volume for FY '25? And what was it for FY '26?.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#19

Yes, sir, in the sense you were asking in the sense tonnage, Sir?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#20

Yes, sir. Production volume, yes, exactly.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#21

In terms of volume, it is difficult to explain, sir, in terms of value only, you can say, absolutely, sir.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#22

Got it. Sir, so my question was from, sir, if I look at our FY '23 and FY '25 numbers, we did INR 123 crore revenue and based on our annual report, we did close to over 1,200 metric ton volume. So is our per ton realization closer to INR 10 lakh, is that a fair understanding? Or is it -- what would be per ton realizations that we do in these aluminum plus machined products, casted plus machine products?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#23

Sir, if you don't mind -- can I -- may I know that where you are getting that 1,200 tons, sir?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#24

Sir, I'm getting it from your FY '25 annual report. So I think on -- in that, I think, we have mentioned that out of the 2,500 tonne capacity, 1,200 was utilized for, I think, FY '25. So there -- that's where I'm coming. Sir, no problem. I'll take this offline. Firstly sir, I wanted to understand regarding what this gas nitriding and induction hardening. So suppose we make X amount of realization on a normal machine plus casted product, what is the incremental realization we make after the castings goes through this process?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#25

Yes. So it's a job work kind of thing, sir, as of now. And we are getting -- it is contributing to the group around 25% PAT, sir. So Ramakrishna sir, can you explain our investor and operational aspects.

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#26

Yes, sir. So about gas nitrating, we have about 3 furnaces right now. And another 3 furnaces in pipeline. Our customer has given order last year, but due to their construction side issues, we are not yet able to implement that 3 furnaces, but maybe within 3, 4 months, we'll get an approval and we can able to implement those another 3 furnaces.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#27

Sir, so currently, 2 things I wanted to understand sir. What is the -- so currently, are the castings that are used for these induction furnaces? Are they produced in-house by Thaai Casting or these...

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#28

No. casing is a separate vertical. In gas nitriding, we only use steel. It comes from customers. The product comes from the customer. We only do service basis. We only do induction -- gas nitrating, and after that dispatch the parts to customer. So casting parts doesn't come here to nitriding.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#29

Okay. So this is done on stainless and -- okay, stainless steel. Okay.

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#30

No, no. It's carbon steel.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#31

So now coming out, sir, what is the charges that we charge our customers for this process that we do for them on a per metric ton basis. And with these..

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#32

Per kg basis.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#33

Yes. Per kg. So what is the charge that we charge to these guys?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#34

That thing we cannot be able to disclose it, sir.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#35

Okay. No problem. Sir, what kind of margins do we make in this segment?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#36

35 plus.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#37

Sir, independently is contributing 25% PAT, sir, around.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#38

Sir, so if I were to ask you from an operating margin perspective, what would be the operating margin for this service that we provide to our customers?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#39

We maintain around more than 30%.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#40

Okay. 30% plus. 30% plus operating margin. Now, sir. So this looks very attractive [indiscernible] why is no one else doing this in India and Thaai Casting is like the largest player in this, is it because this is a new technology? Or is it difficult to process these equipments or is it difficult to -- difficult technical knowhow. What is the issue? Why there are so less players in this market?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#41

It is both. It is a very complicated system as well as it is also a risk-based method because we use ammonia and nitrogen gases. There's a lot of certification required for this. And for designing the furnace itself it's very complicated one because we almost took 2 to 3 funds to do a lot of R&Ds and these furnace manufacturing, we also involved our customer who is one of the key personnel in Germany. So he has also contributed towards furnace manufacturing. So combinedly, we worked together and build up this furnace. So usually, these bigger furnaces, we could not be able to achieve the uniformity of temperature. That is the main key factor here. So if you want to heat the part to 515-degree sensors, you will be having parts of 13 tonnes inside the furnace. So all the 13 should be equally -- uniformly heated to 515 degrees celsius. If one thing heated below that or -- if there is a varying in temperature, there will be different in your results, and it could not -- it could happen to a rejection of the components. So the furnace manufacturing is one very key point. And the second is the system, what we have implemented. It is completely SCADA system and we also introduced a digital system. So there is no human interventions required for the system. So whatever the gas flow required for that particular -- so if you load into the furnace, only after 3.5 days we take it out the parts. So it's [indiscernible] for completely 3.5 days, and there is no manual intervention and completely it is controlled by digital flow meters and digital system. So it is monitored 24/7 anywhere anytime. So by all this method, we could be able to control the process and we could be able to achieve the results.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#42

Got it. Now sir, the 13 metric ton capacity is for the 3 furnaces and we'll be adding another 3 furnaces sir, so how much will be your capacity post the addition of these...

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#43

No, 13 metric ton is per batch in a furnace. If you're loading per batch into the permanent, which is going to run for 3.5 days, I can load 13 tons. In this 13, 10 ton is my part, what I'm going to load and the 3 ton is for ficturing. To hold the part, there will be a ficture. So that is 3 ton, complete total of 13 tons.

Vaishnavi Vaity

Attendees
#44

Sorry to interrupt [indiscernible]. Can you please get back into queue?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#45

This is final question, and I'll get back in the queue. So with these 6 furnaces, what kind of revenue can we achieve from this segment?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#46

We are not sure about the volume for another 3. But with these 3 furnaces last year, [indiscernible] sir, can you able to let them the figures?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#47

Yes. Nearly we did INR 10 crores with these 3 furnaces, sir.

Vaishnavi Vaity

Attendees
#48

Next question is from Mr. Prateek Jain.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#49

So first question is how much of our revenue comes from gas nitriding and heat induction as of today?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#50

Revenue [indiscernible] last year, we did almost INR 10 crores. So induction earning -- sir, we have a diversified figure for induction, Rajat sir?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#51

So for gas nitrating, we did around INR 10 crores, sir, for this by bifurcation, we'll give you shortly, sir? Nothing. So Thaai Casting alone as a consolidated figure is readily available.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#52

Sure, sir. Sure. And so I mean, you did mention about what is your right to win in this segment. But -- and just want to push you further -- I mean, ask you furthermore is that what is the rationale for customers to outsource these services to you? I mean, why can't they do it in-house? Is it the cost? Or is it something else for them?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#53

No, it's -- cost is one thing. When we're looking for customers, cost is not a matter. One thing is setting up the systems because they need to monitor 24x7, and it's a risk in all the process since they are into assemblies and all of those things happening in their production line. So they are focusing to divert these kind of critical parts to their vendors so that they could able to concentrate more on the assembly lines. So since their business also getting increased and they are investing more into assemblies and lot of test benches and all of these kinds. So they are not focusing on these because these kind of parts what we are doing, like this, there will be -- if you see as a gearbox, there will be a lot of -- 1,000-plus number of parts. So all of these parts, they cannot able to keenly focus to manufacturing in-house. So it will be a lot of supply chain issues and a lot of issues creating for them. That's why they are focusing towards vendor-based systems.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#54

Okay. And who are our customers in this segment for just gas nitriding and heat induction?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#55

Customer, I could not able to disclose, but they are Chennai-based only. There doing one of the -- they are major in gearbox for windmill sectors. For them, the end customer is, Vestas and GE is the main customer for them where it contributes around more than 78%, I guess. And other customers are Nordex, Inox, Adani. So they cater to all of the major windmill sectors.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#56

Got it. Got it. And now -- sir, specifically coming to Automotive segment. As of today, what is our peak revenue potential we can do basis the current gross block?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#57

Sir, regarding casting, Durga sir and Shevaani Madam will answer.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#58

Right now, we can do in between INR 13 crores to INR 15 crores per month.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#59

got it. Got it. And sir, on the non-wind -- I mean, non-auto side, where are we in the -- what is the status of us -- of our in the wind journey segment? I mean, is the brand on stream? And is the commercialization on track?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#60

Yes, for the heavy maching, the plant 3, we have already the machine has come. The 2 machines are already installed. And the CMM mission what I said earlier for the -- inspection machine, that is also installation completed only yesterday. And 1 machine, which is [indiscernible] arrived 3 days back only. So that installation will take place around 3-plus months because it's a huge machine, 1 machine carries of 26 packages and of 8 containers.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#61

Okay. Got it. And when do you expect this wing segment to ramp up? I mean whatever CapEx we have done, when do you expect to commercialize it?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#62

Sir, expecting this year onwards, sir. I think in '26, '27, it may come, sir.

Vaishnavi Vaity

#63

[Operator Instructions] Next question is from Mr. Shiva from [indiscernible].

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#64

Firstly, what is the current order book now?

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#65

Sir, it is around INR 800 crores, sir.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#66

Right. And this order book, it includes both gas nitriding and the gear machining -- gear shaping that we're doing.

Sriramulu Ramakrishnan

Executives
#67

No, no. It is excluding gas nitriding, sir. It is including remaining verticals.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#68

Got it, sir. Got it. And sir, for this gear shaping facility that we are setting up, so this is just going to be for machining. So what about casting, sir? So is there any possibility that we can get to do that as well for our clients?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#69

No, no, that machining is exclusively for that specific items, sir. So only for machining purpose only, we have set up that facility.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#70

Right. So the casting -- the client will provide us the casting and we'll do the machining.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#71

Yes, yes. Products -- as of now, customer is supporting, and we will do just maching.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#72

Okay. Understood. And sir, in our presentation, we mentioned about planning to getting AS9100D certification, which will get our entry into aerospace and defense. So is there any time line we are looking over here? Like how soon can we do that?

Sir, my first question is that we have divested Simtech C&C company. C&C company sir -- that business is booming in India. So what was the reason for this divestment.

Yes. It is like -- they are into our backward integration business. So they are a little bit unhappy with our presence in their management. So because some -- most of our competitors is also their customers, and they're a little bit worried. So that's why we came out with the request of that Simtech management.
