J Pan Tubular Components Limited IPO

01At a glance

What the company does: makes tubular, forged and machined components, mainly for air conditioners and refrigerators, and for electrical equipment and tube fittings (AP p.3).

Who pays it: appliance makers such as LG Electronics India, Haier Appliances, Bosch Home Comfort, Daikin and Ecofrost; white goods were 93.09% of FY26 revenue, and the top five customers 84.09% (AP p.3, AP p.10).

Why it is raising money: ₹426.86 million to expand the Sanand plant in Gujarat, ₹204.98 million for a new plant at Sri City in Andhra Pradesh, ₹350 million to repay borrowings, and the rest for general purposes (AP p.7).

How fast it has grown: revenue from ₹3,017 million in FY24 to ₹4,681 million in FY26; profit rose from ₹86 million to ₹205 million in FY25 and fell to ₹176 million in FY26 (AP p.9).

The one thing to understand: a supplier to a handful of appliance brands, whose margin swings with metal costs and customer pricing. EBITDA margin was 6.82%, 10.08% and 8.50% over FY24 to FY26 (AP p.9).

02The business, in plain words

A component supplier makes parts to an appliance maker's drawing, here, tubes and fittings used in air conditioners and refrigerators. Volumes follow the customer's production, and prices are negotiated, often with metal costs passed through.

An air-conditioner brand needs refrigerant tube assemblies → it orders from J Pan → J Pan forms, forges and machines the parts at its plants → it ships them and is paid per part.

The company runs six manufacturing facilities (AP p.9). It absorbed Sai Ganesh Exports, a subsidiary acquired in FY25 and amalgamated in FY26, so FY25 figures are consolidated and FY24 and FY26 standalone (AP p.4).

Earnings equation: Profit ≈ parts × (price − metal − conversion cost).

Revenue grew 29.0% in FY25 and 20.3% in FY26, our arithmetic, almost all from white-goods customers (AP p.3, AP p.9). The number of customers did not grow, so the growth came from existing customers (AP p.9). Margins peaked in FY25 and fell in FY26; the pages read do not explain why.
