🟢 At a Glance
Tara Chand Infra is a rare SME-cum-capex beast that does logistics, construction equipment rentals, and steel processing — all in one. With 25% profit CAGR, a record ₹248 Cr revenue in FY25, and ₹100 Cr fresh capex lined up for FY26, the company is growing fast. But with rising debt and thin ROCE compared to giants, can this crane-wielding multi-modal underdog continue its heavy lifting?
1. 🎬 Introduction with Hook
You know that guy in school who did everything? Cricket, chess, drama, school band — but never topped the class?
That’s Tara Chand Infra.
They do logistics. They rent out cranes. They process steel. They’re on bullet train projects, and they even bought land in Nagpur. But here’s the real story: 5Y revenue CAGR = 17%, profit CAGR = 26%, and a stock that gave 110% in 3 years before correcting.
Now with ₹100 Cr capex planned and 25–30% FY26 growth guidance, the stock wants to break out again.
