Manufacturing runs across two facilities in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh:
Rithani Manufacturing Facility, operating since 1983, rated up to 25 MVA and 66 kV
Gangol Manufacturing Facility, operating since 1997, rated up to 500 MVA and 400 kV
Combined transformer manufacturing capacity of 19,200 MVA as of March 31, 2026
Order book of ₹1,818.32 crore as of March 31, 2026, up from ₹595.85 crore in FY2024

Transformer Manufacturing generated 83.43% of revenue from operations in FY2026, with the EPC Business contributing the remaining 16.44%. Revenue from Operations grew from ₹281.12 crore in FY2024 to ₹662.86 crore in FY2026, a CAGR of roughly 54%.
Revenue from operations of central and state utilities including Power Grid Corporation of India Limited was 85.37% in FY2026 against 64.09% in FY2025.
India's transformer market grew from $3,691.4 million in CY2019 to $4,944.9 million in CY2025, a CAGR of 5.0%, and is projected to reach $6,854.2 million by CY2030 at a CAGR of 6.7% (Source: RHP, citing CareEdge Research).
India's electricity transmission sector is expected to draw roughly ₹9.15 lakh crore in investment through FY2032, expanding the transmission network from 5.00 lakh circuit kilometres in FY2026 to 6.48 lakh circuit kilometres. The distribution sector separately needs about ₹2.86 lakh crore between FY2027 and FY2030 (Source: RHP, citing CEA Draft Distribution Perspective Plan 2030).
A transformer works like a water pressure valve for electricity. It steps voltage up for long-distance transmission and back down for safe use in homes and factories, and every new substation or rail line needs one.
Much of the industry data cited in this section traces back to the CARE Report, commissioned and paid for by Kanohar Electricals itself, standard practice for RHP industry sections across Indian IPOs. That funding arrangement does not necessarily change the underlying figures, but it is a detail worth keeping in mind.
The table below summarises Kanohar Electricals Limited's financial performance over the last three years, based on the Restated Financial Information in the RHP.
| Financials (₹ crore) | FY2026 | FY2025 | FY2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | 662.86 | 457.30 | 281.12 |
| EBITDA | 180.42 | 93.39 | 31.07 |
| PAT | 129.73 | 65.12 | 17.76 |
| Total Assets | 613.93 | 432.07 | 322.86 |
| Net Worth | 372.84 | 243.13 | 178.12 |
Revenue from Operations and profit both rose every year, with profit after tax up from ₹17.76 crore in FY2024 to ₹129.73 crore in FY2026. Net Worth increased from ₹178.12 crore to ₹372.84 crore over the same period.
Kanohar holds short circuit test certification for 500 MVA 400 kV transformers, one of five companies in India with this credential as of March 31, 2026. That certification helped secure a ₹568.67 crore order from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited in June 2025 (Source: RHP, citing CARE Report).
The company runs both a Transformer Manufacturing Business and an EPC Business for substations and transmission lines, entered in 2013 and 2021, respectively. That combination lets it bid for turnkey contracts requiring both equipment supply and installation.
Two manufacturing facilities in Meerut produce transformer tanks and radiators in-house rather than through third-party suppliers. Combined transformer manufacturing capacity stood at 19,200 MVA as of March 31, 2026.
Government-controlled entities and PSUs made up 93.62% of the order book as of March 31, 2026. The company's order book with Power Grid Corporation of India Limited alone stood at ₹573.26 crore.
Promoter Dinesh Singhal has led the company as Chairman and Managing Director for more than 40 years, holding a degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. The promoter group has overseen the business since it first listed in 1995.
Transformer Manufacturing generated 83.43% of revenue from operations in FY2026. A slowdown in transformer demand would affect a large share of revenue.
The top 10 customers contributed 93.16% of revenue from operations in FY2026, down slightly from 95.43% in FY2024. Losing one of these accounts would affect a large share of revenue.
Revenue depends on tenders awarded by government-controlled entities through competitive bidding, which accounted for 85.37% of revenue from operations in FY2026. An unsuccessful bid cycle would affect future order inflow.
Both manufacturing facilities sit in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. A regional disruption, from a labour dispute to an infrastructure failure, would affect production at both sites at once.
Insulated copper conductor, steel and transformer oil come largely from suppliers in western and northern India. A regional supply disruption would raise costs or delay production.
K Sons Family Trust and Kanohar International Private Limited together hold 99.72% of the company's pre-Offer equity share capital. That concentration lets the promoter group control matters requiring shareholder approval after listing.
Before evaluating the IPO, investors may consider the following factors:
The company's dependence on the Transformer Manufacturing segment for most of its revenue
Customer concentration among the top ten accounts
Dependence on government tenders and the competitive bidding process
Geographic concentration of manufacturing facilities in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh
Concentrated promoter and promoter group shareholding after the Offer
Growth in revenue and order book relative to the transformer manufacturing sector
The company's history of listing, voluntary delisting and re-listing
Undisclosed price band and lot size as of the RHP filing date
These factors should be considered alongside the complete risk disclosures and financial information provided in the RHP.
