Jash Engineering is seeing uptick in order booking based on strong demand in domestic business. This uptick in domesticdemand is expected to continue in future years and to meet this demand significant addition in manufacturing capabilitiesand capacity has to be done at Unit-1, Unit-2, Unit-3, Unit-4 & Unit-5 (Chennai after merging).
In Unit-1, to address the concerns of pollution control authorities about operating a coal-based melting furnace in a foundry,the company plans to switch to an electrically operated induction furnace for melting. This will increase the cost ofoperations due to higher rates for electrical energy, but this will partially be off-stetted by increasing the capacity of solargeneration. Switching over to an induction furnace also helps increase yearly casting output by around 30% and also helpsin reducing carbon footprint. Further investment is also planned in increasing the Foundry area and area available forassembly, testing, and painting for small and medium-sized cast iron water control gates. Investment into additionalequipment for testing and painting of small and medium-sized gates as well as into an additional machining facility, is alsoplanned. The total cost of all the investment is expected to be about Rs. 1040 lacs (Rs. 104 million). All this is expected to becommissioned by March 2026.
In Unit-2, the work on Guesthouse is progressing well and all civil work is expected to be over by Sept 2025. The furnishingwork will start thereafter and we expect to commission the Guesthouse by end March 2026. The total cost for Guesthouse isexpected to be about Rs. 275 lakhs (Rs. 27.5 million).
In Unit-3, investment on a CNC double column vertical milling machine for machining jobs as large as 3000 x 4500 mm and ona lathe to machine spindles of 6000 mm length x 200 mm diameter is planned. The ordering will be done in August 2025 andthe commissioning is expected to be done by March-April 2026. The total cost of all the investment is expected to be aboutRs. 430 lacs (Rs. 43 million).
In Unit-4, an entire new plant of approx. 65,000 sq feet is being made as an extension on a new plot across the road. Thisplant will have a facility for larger stores, machining, fabrication, pickling, grit blasting, and assembly of Screens as well asheavy-fab gates made of stainless steel. The existing facility at Unit-4 will be used mostly for assembly, testing, bath picking,and grit blasting of small and medium-sized fabricated gates made of stainless steel. The total cost of all the investments isexpected to be about Rs. 1,900 lacs (Rs. 190 million). This plant is expected to be commissioned by March 2026.
Unit-5 is now going to be the Chennai plant designated for Shivpad - Process equipment products made of Stainless-steelmaterial. This plant is now commissioned, and commercial production will start in August 2025. The incremental investmentin this plant in current financial year will be approx. Rs. 700 lacs (Rs. 70 million).
The company is also in the process of acquiring 90% stake in WesTech Process Equipment India Private Ltd., Mumbai, acompany producing equipment for wastewater treatment in Industrial and Mining segment. The process of Due diligencehas commenced and subject to everything going through this company will become a subsidiary of Jash Engineering by Oct2025. This acquisition is expected to cost the company about Rs. 4,100 lacs (Rs. 410 million).
The investment in all the Units put together is expected to be about Rs. 4,345 lacs (Rs. 434.5 million) and along with theacquisition of WesTech the total investment would be approx. Rs. 8,445 lacs (Rs. 844.5 million). This will be met partly byinternal accruals and partly by raising debt from bankers.
The Company did US$ 34 million (Rs. 29,300 lacs / Rs. 2,930 million) in revenue in 2024-25, and for the current year, thetentative revenue projection was US$ 42 million (Rs. 36,000 lacs / Rs. 3,600 million). However, after the Trump administrationhas announced the reciprocal tariff come there is now lot of uncertainty over US operations revenue. Due to the prevailinguncertainty on the applicable tariff, the Company has been indecisive in booking new orders for projects to be manufacturedin India. It is also difficult to take more orders for manufacturing in the US plant at Orange, Massachusetts, because thecompany is already facing problems of getting and retaining competent manpower. In view of these issues the growth in thecurrent financial year will slow down, and the company has lowered its revenue forecast to between US$ 38-40 million (Rs.32,000-34,000 lacs / Rs. 3,200-3,400 million).
It was earlier proposed to build a new office building of approx. 13,000 sq feet in Houston in 2025. However, after the newtariff policy of the current US administration of the company decided in May 2025 to postpone the investment in the officeand instead build the manufacturing facility at Houston to make Stainless steel Gates and Screens. The final drawings forthis plant will be ready by August end / mid-September 2025 and submitted to Pearland city for approval. We expect theapproval to come by the end of December and start construction of the plant by Jan-Feb 2026 and commission this plant bythe end of 2026. The total investment envisaged for this plant is about US$ 4.5 million (Rs. 3,830 lacs / Rs. 383 million).
In addition to this, the company will also carry out expansion in the Orange manufacturing facility by occupying the unusedfacility. The company currently use about 75,000 sq feet of the old Rodney Hunt facility to make Stainless steel, Carbon steel,and Cast-iron gates. However, the company expects the business for these products to grow beyond USD 15 million on theback of the current tariff policy, and for tha,t the company will be required to add more area from the old Rodney Hunt facility.In that case, the company will have to upgrade the old sheds to make them suitable for production. This will call forinvestment of US$ 1.5 million (Rs. 1,300 lacs / Rs. 130 million). The decision on this will be taken by Sept 2025, and the newfacilities will be commissioned by May-June 2026.
The total investment on the new Houston plant and on existing Orange upgradation put together is expected to be aboutUS$ 6 million (Rs. 5,160 lacs / Rs. 516 million). This will be met partly by funds already raised by Jash in 2024 from stock marketsale and partly by raising debt from RH bankers in USA.
All the required investment in Waterfront's office and manufacturing infrastructure is now done, and the new team at thecompany is being built. Post acquisition, we realised that the company was still considered as a Scottish company located farfrom the heart of UK. This resulted in reservations from major utilities and contractors located in the Midlands / England to dobusiness with Waterfront, To overcome these reservations and at the same time to have a base in the Midlands, thecompany is contemplating an acquisition of another company engaged in the manufacturing and sale of penstocks in theMidlands. Talks are at an advanced stage, and if everything goes right, this company will be acquired and merged withWaterfront by October 2026, subject to mandatory due diligence.
The new Waterfront entity post-merger will have having combined revenue of around Serling Pounds 4 million (Rs. 4,600 lacs/ Rs. 460 million) in 2025-26 and will have a pan-UK presence with easy access to clientele and utilities in England as well as inScotland.
To strengthen the balance sheet of Waterfront and to acquire this new company, an amount of approx. Sterling Pounds 2million (Rs. 2,300 lacs / Rs. 230 million) will be required. This will be sent from Jash Engineering in the form of loan or capitalwithin next 3-4 months. This amount will be met partly by internal accruals of Jash Engineering and partly by raising debtfrom bankers.
The company has a policy of adding new products every year with a view to improve its product portfolio and maintain itsleadership position in India.
The disc filter as per new design from Invent has now been indigenously developed and trial tested at a client site. Furtherimprovements based on feedback from the trials to address the requirement of MBR process has to be done and thesewould be carried out and trials conducted within this year.
However, for primary and secondary treatment operations of Sewage Treatment plants, the new design is found to meet allthe requirements. In view of this, the newly designed machine has already been launched in India. This machine is now idealfor smaller-sized sewage treatment plants and since its launch, the company has received orders for 6 machines fromvarious clients, including for supply to projects outside India. After indigenous development and manufacturing, thesemachines are finally being sold at a profit in the Indian market after paying due royalty to Invent. We expect to furthereconomize the cost of production to improve profitability as well as achieve leadership position in smaller Disc Filtermachines business.
The company had decided to develop a bladder-type air vessel to enhance its portfolio of water hammer control products.
This product was successfully developed and manufactured in October 2023. The first order of 9 m3 capacity vessel was takenand after development was delivered in 2023. Thereafter order of vessel of 40 m3 capacity was taken up. This too wasdeveloped and delivered in early 2025. We have now taken an order for vessels of 60 m3 & 80 m3 capacity.
