Mangal Electrical Industries Ltd Q2 FY26 – The Transformer Transformer with ₹154 Cr Sales, 14% Margins & IPO Juice Left in the Tank
1. At a Glance
Rajasthan’s own transformer whisperer, Mangal Electrical Industries Ltd (MEIL), has quietly sparked its way into the ₹1,315 crore market cap club. With the stock sitting at ₹476, this freshly listed player (IPO August 2025) is doing some serious voltage balancing between manufacturing, EPC, and transformer components.
In Q2 FY26, the company clocked ₹154 crore in revenue — up 16.3% YoY — but profits dipped 6.86% QoQ to ₹13.3 crore, suggesting someone might have left a resistor loose in the cost circuit. Still, its OPM stands tall at 14.9% and ROE at 34.1%—that’s juicier than most large-cap electricals can dream of.
Debt is a humble ₹68 crore, and after the IPO, MEIL has more cash unutilised (~₹219 crore) than some old PSU transformers have insulation left. With a P/E of 28.4, ROCE of 30.4%, and book value at ₹204, the valuation isn’t too shocking—just enough current to keep investors buzzing.
If you thought transformers were boring metal boxes, MEIL’s 126% profit growth over the past year says: think again.
2. Introduction
In a market where everyone wants to be the next solar messiah or EV disruptor, Mangal Electrical Industries decided to stay old-school — and it’s working.
Born in 2008 in Jaipur’s buzzing industrial heartland, MEIL doesn’t build unicorns, it builds transformers, laminations, CRGO coils, and amorphous cores — the invisible guts of India’s power grid. While startups pitch “AI-powered energy solutions,” MEIL just quietly ensures that actual electricity keeps flowing.
Their FY25 sales stood at ₹549 crore, up from ₹449 crore the previous year — that’s a solid 22% growth. But what’s more impressive is that profits jumped 126%. Maybe they aren’t tweeting about “sustainability,” but they sure are sustaining margins.
The family-led company, spearheaded by Rahul, Saroj, and Ashish Mangal, seems to have found the rare balance between traditional engineering and financial discipline. No pledges, no scandals, no random “crypto pivot.” Just transformers, coils, and cores — made in Rajasthan, shipped to the Netherlands, UAE, Oman, and the US.
And yes, while the world debates renewable targets, MEIL’s order book quietly hums at ₹98 crore as of November 2024.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
MEIL isn’t just soldering wires — it’s engineering India’s backbone for transmission and distribution.
Here’s the electricity 101 version:
CRGO Coils (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented steel) are the most premium component in transformers. MEIL processes 16,200 MT per year, slicing and shaping these coils into core assemblies that reduce energy loss.
Transformers: from single-phase 5 KVA household units to three-phase 10 MVA medium-power beasts. Production capacity? A hefty 7,50,000 KVA annually.
ICBs (Immersed Circuit Breakers): safety devices that make sure your transformer doesn’t end up as an expensive firecracker — 75,000 units per year.
EPC Services: end-to-end solutions for electrical substations. Essentially, they design, build, and energize the infrastructure that powers towns.
So, while most competitors import CRGO cores from China or Korea, MEIL’s vertical integration gives it control over both quality and margin.
In FY24, 77% of revenue came from transformer components, 17% from manufacturing transformers, and 6% from EPC.
That’s like running a dhaba where paneer butter masala (transformer components) pays the rent, thali combos (transformers) boost the margin, and party catering (EPC) adds some spice.

Annualized EPS = ₹4.81 × 4 = ₹19.24 At CMP ₹476, that’s a P/E of 24.7, lower than the reported trailing 28.4 — post-IPO dilution working its way in.
Commentary: Revenue up, profit down — classic IPO quarter detox. The company’s margin compression in Q2 likely came from ramping new capacity. But that 232% QoQ profit rebound? It’s like watching a transformer spark back to life after a power cut.
5. Valuation Discussion – Fair Value Range Only
Let’s decode this like a CA who moonlights as an engineer.
Method 1: P/E Based
Current EPS (TTM): ₹23.1
Industry P/E: 35.4
MEIL’s P/E: 28.4
If MEIL trades at industry median: ₹23.1 × 35 = ₹808/share (bull case) If margin normalizes to 25x P/E: ₹23.1 × 25 = ₹578/share (base case) If earnings correct 15%: ₹19.6 × 25 = ₹490/share (bearish case)
Method 2: EV/EBITDA
EV = ₹1,210 Cr
EBITDA FY25 = ₹82 Cr → EV/EBITDA = 14.7×
Peer average (Apar, Genus, Premier) = 20–22×. Applying fair band: 14× to 20× → Value range ₹450–₹640
Method 3: Simplified DCF Assume 20% CAGR profit growth for 5 years, cost of equity 12%, terminal growth 4%. Fair intrinsic band = ₹540–₹620/share.
📢 Fair Value Range (Educational Purpose Only): ₹490 – ₹640/share This fair value range is for educational purposes only and is not investment advice.
