Shree Refrigerations reported a 55.5% year-on-year rise in revenue to ₹1,535.5 crore for FY26, driven by strong demand in defence and marine HVAC systems. The company also disclosed the inauguration of a new manufacturing facility to support its growth trajectory.
The BSE-listed firm submitted an updated investor presentation on August 26, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The document highlights financial performance and strategic expansions.
Financial Performance
Revenue from operations grew from ₹987.3 crore in FY25 to ₹1,535.5 crore in FY26. EBITDA rose 21.8% to ₹328.2 crore, while net profit surged 64.7% to ₹214.0 crore. Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 28.4% to ₹6.47.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹1,535.5 crore | ₹987.3 crore | +55.5% |
| EBITDA | ₹328.2 crore | ₹269.5 crore | +21.8% |
| Net Profit | ₹214.0 crore | ₹130.0 crore | +64.7% |
| EPS | ₹6.47 | ₹5.04 | +28.4% |
Cash flow from operations turned positive in FY26. The working capital cycle improved significantly, reducing from approximately 570 days in FY25 to roughly 370 days in FY26.
What the Numbers Show
Net profit grew at more than double the rate of EBITDA (64.7% vs 21.8%). This divergence suggests improved operational leverage or favorable non-operating items, as other income rose to ₹15.1 crore from ₹3.6 crore in the prior year. Interest expenses declined slightly to ₹37.2 crore from ₹44.8 crore, further supporting bottom-line expansion.
Capacity Expansion
The company inaugurated a new greenfield manufacturing unit spanning 50,000 sq. ft., expandable to 100,000 sq. ft. Located in Karad, Maharashtra, the facility aims to streamline naval inspections and accelerate deliveries. It is supported by a 40%-50% subsidy on CAPEX under the Government of Maharashtra’s PSI scheme.
New capabilities include laser cutting machines, advanced paint shops, and shot blasting facilities. The company maintains registrations across all three critical naval segments: AC & Ref Plants, Motor Starter Panels, and HVAC systems.
Strategic Outlook
Shree Refrigerations is positioning itself for dual growth engines: defence infrastructure and data centre cooling. The Indian Navy’s expansion to ~230 ships by 2035 presents a structural opportunity, with AC/HVAC systems constituting ~1% of project values.
In the data centre segment, the company signed an agreement with Smardt (Canada) for oil-free data centre chillers. India’s data centre capacity is expected to grow from ~₹9,600 crore in 2024 to ~₹13,000 crore in 2033, offering a long-duration opportunity for high-efficiency cooling solutions.
Order Book
As of March 31, 2026, the unexecuted order book stood at ₹2,707.7 crore, which is 1.8x FY26 revenue. Orders received during FY26 totaled ₹2,089.1 crore, while executed orders amounted to ₹1,535.5 crore.

How will the transition to high-efficiency oil-free chillers for data centres impact Shree Refrigerations' gross margins compared to its traditional defence HVAC contracts?
Given the 1.8x revenue order book, what specific capacity constraints or supply chain bottlenecks could prevent the company from fully realizing this backlog in FY27?
To what extent will the 40-50% CAPEX subsidy under the Maharashtra PSI scheme improve the return on invested capital (ROIC) for the new Karad facility?
