1. At a Glance
Windsor Machines Ltd — the OG of Indian plastic processing machinery — has turned its 60-year-old presses back on and is finally looking like a company that remembers it’s listed. For Q2 FY26, Windsor clocked Revenue ₹136.6 Cr (up 130 % YoY) and PAT ₹4.29 Cr (up 111 % YoY).
With a market cap of ₹2,546 Cr, CMP ₹292, and an eye-watering P/E of 919×, this is less of a value stock and more of an optimism exhibit. Book value ₹86.9, ROCE 1.46 %, ROE -2.38 %, and debt of just ₹34.9 Cr.
In short: A plastic machinery veteran now morphing into an aggressive acquirer with new plants, new tech, and a ₹55 Cr land grab in Rajkot.
As the Guru Granth Sahib reminds, “Truth is high, but higher still is truthful living.” For Windsor, it’s time to match its glossy announcements with equally glossy earnings.
2. Introduction – From Plastic Pipes to Precision Power
Windsor Machines, founded in 1963, is no newbie. It’s the silent machinery brand behind India’s plastic revolution — from injection moulding machines to extrusion lines and film-blowing systems that make everything from pipes to packaging.
But after decades of modest growth and frequent profitability hiccups, Windsor seems to be mid-reboot. FY25–26 has been an acquisition carnival: Global CNC Private Ltd, Unitech acquisition (59.5 %), and a ₹55 Cr land purchase in Rajkot for new capacity.
They’re shifting manufacturing from Ahmedabad to Rajkot and planning to produce 8,400 machines annually — a figure that could make them one of Asia’s largest integrated plastic machinery makers.
The catch? Despite flashy orders, profit margins are still fragile, and the company’s P/E ratio looks like it escaped from a tech startup.
Still, Windsor has something it hasn’t had in years — momentum.
