RMC Switchgears Ltd Q2FY26 – From Smart Meters to Solar Power, Jaipur’s Electric Juggernaut Charges Ahead with ₹406 Cr Revenue, 138% Profit Growth and 37% ROE
1. At a Glance
Jaipur-based RMC Switchgears Ltd just dropped a power-packed quarter that could light up an entire substation. The company clocked ₹195 crore in sales for Q2FY26, an 86% YoY surge, and ₹19.5 crore PAT, up 90% YoY. If that’s not shocking enough, the full-year trailing numbers look even brighter — ₹406 crore in revenue, ₹40.6 crore PAT, and a sizzling 37.5% ROE.
At a market cap of ₹717 crore, RMC trades at ₹681, roughly 17.6x earnings, which feels like a “discounted PSU sale” when compared to its glossier peers like Waaree Renewables or Genus Power that flaunt 30–40x P/E multiples. Debt sits at ₹58.6 crore (0.55x D/E), and operating margins of 16.2% suggest this smallcap’s earnings engine isn’t just running — it’s humming like a freshly oiled transformer.
But here’s the real plug-in: the company’s order book exceeds ₹500 crore, including ₹320 crore in rooftop solar, ₹108 crore in underground cabling, and ₹50 crore in transformer infrastructure projects. With a 1GW solar module plant under construction, RMC is not just building boxes anymore — it’s trying to build a legacy.
So, is this the next big “Make in India” energy turnaround or just another high-voltage short circuit waiting to spark? Let’s connect the wires.
2. Introduction – The Curious Case of RMC’s Power Play
Once upon a transformer yard in Jaipur, there stood a modest firm that built switchgear boxes and FRP enclosures. Fast-forward three decades, and RMC Switchgears has evolved into a buzzing electrical ecosystem player that’s wiring the nation’s transition from analog to digital, from diesel gensets to rooftop solar.
Founded in 1994, RMC began with plastics and fibre-reinforced panels. Now it builds everything from smart meter enclosures to electrical EPC infrastructure and solar power projects. Think of it as the IKEA of the electricity world — only with more acronyms and fewer Allen keys.
The company’s recent numbers show why everyone’s suddenly paying attention. In FY25, sales grew 114%, profits 138%, and ROCE touched 37%. Even the balance sheet looks disciplined: no pledges, no funny accounting, and cash conversion cycles shrinking faster than Rajasthan’s groundwater.
Sure, the promoter holding slipped slightly to 52.06%, but FII interest is rising, with foreign funds now holding ~4.8%. The company is also migrating to the BSE Main Board, which could supercharge liquidity.
In short — RMC’s not just making boxes anymore; it’s thinking inside, outside, and around the box.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
RMC Switchgears’ business model can be split into four electrifying buckets — each shockingly diverse and synergistic.
a) Electrical Products These are the bread and butter — or rather, the cables and conduits — of RMC’s business. It makes smart meter enclosures, feeder pillars, distribution boxes, FRP/SMC panels, and street light boxes. With an installed capacity of 3 lakh smart meter enclosures per year, it literally houses the smart grid revolution.
b) Electrical EPC This segment handles T&D infrastructure, smart grids, and substation automation projects — basically, the big engineering jobs that make electrical utilities look less like museums and more like modern grids. In FY25, this segment contributed 80% of revenue.
c) Solar EPC The new kid on the block, contributing 0.55% in FY25 but expected to rise to 45% in FY26. The company is already executing a ₹320 crore rooftop solar contract and building a 1GW solar module plant in Jaipur. RMC clearly wants a slice of India’s ₹1.2 lakh crore solar boom.
d) Smart Water Management (via subsidiary) Because if you can meter electricity, why not meter water? RMC’s Intelligent Hydel Solutions Pvt Ltd develops IoT-based water metering and distribution systems. From smart grids to smart taps — the diversification story is pure desi jugaad genius.
If the projections are right, FY26 will see an entirely new revenue mix:
Electrical Products – 10%
Electrical EPC – 30%
Solar EPC – 45%
Solar Products – 15%
From humble enclosures to high-voltage ecosystems — that’s the RMC metamorphosis.

one doubt..
in forward P/E calculation you did 18.5*4, but 18.5 is half yearly EPS..pls elaborate
