[Operator Instructions] The first question is from the line of Abhi Jain from AJ Capital.
Great set of numbers. Now since you have got some visibility around the order book, and we are also approaching the year-end, sir, I just wanted to understand how is growth shaping up? How do you see yourselves moving on from here? Any revised guidance for FY '26 and FY '27? Because especially, obviously, transformers is a space and the whole power sector is a space which is booming and which is high in demand. But given that we have seen a lot of rerating happening in the sector and a lot of companies being rated down given the uncertainty in the global world, how is demand shaping up for you? And can you give us some sort of idea about the next 2, 3 years, how do you see your revenues growing? How do you see the demand shaping up? Something around that.
Yes, sir. Basically -- comparable with the Hindi?
Yes, sir. Please. [Foreign Language]
Surely, sir. Basically [Foreign Language]
Okay. That's great, sir. Any guidance on FY '26, sir, what will you be closing at revenue on FY '27?
Right now, [Foreign Language]

Congratulations on a great set of numbers. Sir, my first question was on the segment split. Obviously, our segment wise split that has been a bit volatile. So going ahead in the next 2 to 3 years, how do we see our segment split spanning around the 3 core segments which we are in?
Basically [Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
Okay. Understood, sir. And sir, next question, I understand the industry we work on a monthly order booking system. Every month we will increase the order book. But to achieve the INR 450 crores, do we have enough working capital or we have to add some to cater to the large order book and the growing order?
No. Right now we have that working capital because the IPO [Foreign Language].
Okay. And sir, to achieve that massive INR 450 crore mark, [Foreign Language]?
[Foreign Language]
Okay, sir. Sir, last question if I missed this. Sir, in our business, first of all, you guided for a INR 300 crores top line. If we take the quarterly run rate, so are we expecting a softer Q4 on a Y-o-Y basis [Foreign Language]?
Pardon, sir?
INR 300 crores [Foreign Language] overall? [indiscernible] we close the INR 100 crores of top line, so is there any seasonality in our business and are we expecting a softer Q4?

[Foreign Language]
[indiscernible] sorry for interfering. Dipal bhai, please share what is the [indiscernible]?
Yes, I would like to add something. Hello, sir, I'm Dipal Patel. Actually we are focused now on a stock clearance on a fast movement basis as already Mr. Neel bhai said that we have got so much of orders and we are -- our delivery and all we have improved so much. As we have a good infrastructure, we can have that flexibility of delivery of the goods on a very good rate on a daily basis. And another is for we have got clearance of debtors. We have very worked hard on this part and now we have control over debtors to the 45 days to 60 days. And for the LTCT part where the copper is the main product where the price fluctuation is there, we have tried to convert our debtors in some part to some extent on an advance basis also. So we are working on that part to improve our cash flows.
Correct. So that advances, are we able to get 20%, 30% advances?
Yes. It depends on the party and depends on the order size what we are getting. We have that range of 20% to 50%.
[Foreign Language]
Yes.
[Foreign Language]
Really, now onwards, I think last quarter we have started on that part, and now we are controlling to give the credit period, more credit period to the small parties. And for still on a higher side, we are giving some sort of credit period. But at least we have -- that we are generating facility for them to create an advance to 20% to the 50%.
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language ] they have fixed payment cycles.
[Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language] another question from my end. Sir, how dependent is the business on power distribution and the government CapEx? [Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
And sir, what is the typical order size and execution cycle of that?
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
Pardon?
[Foreign Language] products are those largely standardized or customized as per the client requirement?
[Foreign Language]
And sir, if we talk about the scalability, so how scalable are your SMC and FRP production lines?
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
And sir, what is the current installed capacity across all 4 manufacturing plants? [Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
And sir, do you see sustainable order inflow momentum in the upcoming financial year that is FY '26 through FY '27?
[Foreign Language]
Sir, sustainable inflow momentum.
Right now, we have almost achieved 250 [Foreign Language]
Okay. And sir, are there any patented or proprietary product designs? [Foreign Language]
Just Pardon? Just clear, sir, question?
[Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language] [ Jignesh, Jiva Capital. ]
[Foreign Language]
Dipal bhai?
Yes. I'm Dipal Patel. Just a moment, I'll give you the brief. As we already have that finance in our hand, correct, so -- and we have that purchasing power, and we have suppressed our payment terms from the vendors also -- sorry, customers. And we are, as Mr. Neel said, we have that capacity to route the funds very fast and we have -- and we'll achieve the numbers. We can have that -- hope that we can maximum satisfy the ROE and ROCE. We can -- based on that, we can achieve the highest maximum profit with a good EBITDA margin. And based on that, we can satisfy the investments with a good ROE and ROCE.
So broadly, if I can understand, as per December, we had INR 36 crores of net worth?
Correct.
And after that, we did an IPO of INR 92 crores.
Correct.
And this year, we are expecting profit of around INR 30 crores. So broadly, we can reach -- INR 30 crores divided by around -- INR 150 crores. So 20% ROE, can this be possible?
Yes. We are expecting a good ROE for investors. But if the market and something which unexpected things are there, that will create a problem. But we are committing our new investors a good ROE, ROCE. And our efforts is on the positive side only, because what I can say is we are building a good team, as we already, Mr. Neel said, we are building a good team with a good vision.
See, that is understood. But since this was a very big dilution, so there is -- to recover the ROE, it takes a lot of time. So I wanted to understand if you have any financials. But, okay. So I have one other question. [Foreign Language] So these companies may be because of a lot of issues, they, I think, [Foreign Language].
Sir, for that, I give you some brief about the vision of our promoters.
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
[Foreign Language]
One last announcement [Foreign Language] As there are no further questions from the participants, I would like to hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.
Thank you, everyone, to come, your patience and all the [Foreign Language]. Thank you, everyone to talk to us.

Thank you.
