Indo Tech Transformers Approves Mega ₹360 Crore CAPEX to Scale Manufacturing Capacity to 50,000 MVA

Power infrastructure and equipment manufacturer Indo Tech Transformers Limited (NSE: INDOTECH | BSE: 532717) has announced a major manufacturing expansion. The company's Board of Directors has approved a fresh Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) proposal of ₹360 crore to significantly ramp up its production capabilities for high-voltage power transformers.

Phased Capacity Expansion Plan

The newly approved ₹360 crore injection acts as a massive supplement to Indo Tech's existing, ongoing expansion roadmap. Currently, the company operates at a base existing capacity of 14,000 MVA, running at a high operational capacity utilization rate of 80% to 90%.

To meet surging grid infrastructure and renewable energy integration demands, the company is executing a multi-phased capacity ramp-up:

Phase 1 (Dec 2024 Approval): ₹75 Crore CAPEX to reach 16,000 MVA (In Progress)

Phase 2 (Nov 2025 Approval): ₹25 Crore CAPEX to reach 20,000 MVA (In Progress)

Phase 3 (May 2026 Approval): ₹35 Crore CAPEX to reach 25,000 MVA (In Progress)

Phase 4 (Approved Today): ₹360 Crore CAPEX to add an additional 25,000 MVA

Upon full execution over the 2028-2029 financial years, the cumulative program will aggregate to an investment of ₹495 crore, boosting Indo Tech's total plant capacity to a massive 50,000 MVA.

Strategic Rationale: Moving Up the Value Chain

The core rationale behind this capital deployment is to pivot Indo Tech's manufacturing profile toward the high-margin, large-utility segment. The upgraded facility will enable the mass production of large power transformers up to the 400 KV range. These high-rating transformers are critical for state electricity boards, central transmission utilities, and large-scale industrial setups looking to scale up heavy-duty power transmission.

To fund the ₹495 crore aggregate capital outlay without over-leveraging its balance sheet, Indo Tech will utilize a balanced funding mix composed of its own internal cash accruals paired with debt optimization through commercial bank borrowings (Term Loans). The infrastructure expansion positions Indo Tech to benefit directly from India's macro capex cycle across the power transmission and clean energy sectors.

Shares of Indo Tech Transformers Limited was last trading in BSE at Rs. 2930.45 as compared to the previous close of Rs. 2906.40. The total number of shares traded during the day was 5174 in over 355 trades.

The stock hit an intraday high of Rs. 3051.70 and intraday low of 2906.40. The net turnover during the day was Rs. 15579440.00.
