Positive Points
Harsha Engineers International Ltd (BOM:543600) reported a strong overall growth of around 14% in FY 2026, driven by robust performance in the India engineering business. The company's bushing segment posted a 25% growth over the last financial year, with plans for aggressive growth of 25% to 30% in the current year. Sales to Japan-based customers grew by approximately 12% in 2026, indicating successful market penetration. The company's solar business achieved strong top-line and bottom-line growth due to favorable government policies and increased awareness. Capacity utilization in the Advantech unit is improving, with expectations for sales to grow at least three times in FY27.
Negative Points
The Romania subsidiary continues to perform below expectations, with negative EBITDA contributing to combined foreign subsidiary losses of about 11 crore in FY26. Despite positive EBITDA, the Advantech unit reported a combined loss of 11.4 crore due to higher depreciation and interest. The company faces ongoing inflationary pressures in Europe, impacting cost structures and profitability. The global turmoil and potential short-term impacts from geopolitical tensions could affect business operations. The company's overall working capital cycle remains high at around 130 days, indicating potential inefficiencies in cash flow management.

Q: Could you provide some color on the 27% revenue growth reported during the quarter, specifically the contribution from pricing versus volume growth? A: The 27% growth is consolidated, with the solar business being a major contributor, growing over 100%. The engineering business grew by 15.7%. The pass-through mechanism for commodity inflation is well-established, with an average lag period of four months for price adjustments. (Unidentified_3, CFO)
Q: What are the key drivers behind the strong export growth in the India engineering business, and why was domestic growth more modest? A: Export growth was driven by improving markets in Europe and the U.S., aided by tariff reductions. Domestic growth was robust but may appear modest due to byproduct sales masking the numbers. The India cage business grew by over 10%, supported by bushings and stampings. (Unidentified_2, CEO)
Story Continues
Q: Could you share your CapEx plan for FY27 and FY28? A: We are finalizing details, but expect about 30-40 crore of maintenance CapEx in India for FY27, with a similar amount next year. The China expansion project will see a 70 crore CapEx this year and 20 crore next year. Further plans are being developed. (Unidentified_2, CEO)
Q: What are the revenue and PBT numbers for the Romania and China subsidiaries for FY26? A: Harsha China reported a turnover of around 120 crore with a profit of 5 crore. Harsha Romania had a turnover of 247 crore with a loss of 14 crore. Combined losses for subsidiaries were 9 crore. (Unidentified_3, CFO)
Q: How is the demand situation in Europe, given its importance as a key market? A: Demand in Europe is slowly improving, but we face inflationary pressures. We are working on cost structures and improving top-line growth. The outlook is positive, but challenges remain. (Unidentified_2, CEO)

Atzumi™ is an ergotamine derivative indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
Limitations of Use
Atzumi™ is not indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine or for the management of hemiplegic migraine or migraine with brainstem aura.
Contraindications
Atzumi™ is not recommended in patients with:
Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
Ischemic heart disease or coronary artery vasospasm
Uncontrolled hypertension, peripheral arterial diseases, sepsis, following vascular surgery, or severe hepatic or renal impairment
Hypersensitivity to ergot alkaloids
Concomitant use of other 5-HT₁ agonists or ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medication within 24 hours
Concomitant use of peripheral and central vasoconstrictors
Warnings and Precautions
Atzumi™ may cause:
Cardiac events: Cardiac events in patients with risk factors of coronary artery diseases: Consider administration of the first dose of Atzumi™ under medical supervision (including the use of an electrocardiogram)
Cerebrovascular events: Cerebrovascular events (e.g., cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke) have been reported, particularly with dihydroergotamine mesylate injection
Vasospasm/elevated blood pressure: Dihydroergotamine may cause vasospasm or elevation in blood pressure
Medication overuse headache: Detoxification may be necessary
Preterm labor: Advise pregnant women of the risk
Fibrotic complications: Rare cases have been reported following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine mesylate. Administration of Atzumi™ should not exceed the dosing guidelines or be used for chronic daily administration
Local irritation: Local irritation has been reported following administration of Atzumi™
Most Common Adverse Reactions
Most common adverse reactions (incidence >1%) were rhinitis, nausea, altered sense of taste, application site reaction, dizziness, vomiting, somnolence, pharyngitis, and diarrhea.
