1. Opening Hook
Just months after listing, Cryogenic OGS walked into a Valueportal investor call and casually dropped words like Egypt, Nigeria, and 30% EBITDA—no chest-thumping, no spreadsheet yoga. While most SME managements celebrate survival, these guys are busy explaining why assembling skids was beneath them and why full-system integration is the real money printer.
The highlight? A quiet pivot that turns them from a low-margin fabricator into a capital-light, margin-hungry systems integrator—without upsetting PSU clients or EPC giants. Oh, and they’re doing this while sitting on zero debt and ₹27 crore cash.

2. At a Glance
- Revenue up 57% YoY (H1FY26) – Listing hangover? Nope, this is execution talking.
- EBITDA margin ~30% – SME, not SaaS, yet margins behaving suspiciously well.
- Zero debt balance sheet – Old-school discipline in a leverage-happy market.
- Capacity utilization ~35–40% – Factory bored, management not worried.
- Order book ₹22–25 cr; bids worth ₹65 cr – Pipeline heavier than current revenues.
