Financial Performance and Profitability
MTAR Technologies delivered a robust set of numbers for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹360.7 Cr, exhibiting a sharp 130.4% growth over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This growth was mirrored in profitability, with Profit Before Tax (PBT) rising 355% YoY to ₹67.4 Cr and PAT jumping 364.5% to ₹50.2 Cr.
The company's EBITDA margins expanded to 23.6%, driven by execution efficiency and a favorable product mix. Gross profit margins, however, saw a contraction to 45.5% from 54.2% YoY, primarily due to changes in inventory and material consumption patterns.
Segmental Contributions and Order Book Growth
The Clean Energy vertical remained the largest contributor, accounting for 61% of Q1 FY27 revenue, followed by the Products & Others segment at 28%. The Aerospace & Defence vertical contributed 10%, while Civil Nuclear Power stood at 1%. A defining highlight of the quarter was the record order inflow of ₹2,895.1 Cr, surpassing the entire order inflow achieved in FY26.
This surge pushed the closing order book to ₹5,143.3 Cr as of June 30, 2026. Key wins included a ₹504 Cr order for the Kaiga 5 & 6 nuclear projects and ₹45 Cr from SLB for data center infrastructure solutions.

Expansion and Infrastructure Development
To support its aggressive growth targets, MTAR is significantly enhancing its manufacturing capacity. The company is setting up a greenfield facility to cater to Oil & Gas requirements for customers like Weatherford and to support Phase 2 expansion in the fuel cell segment. This facility is expected to be commissioned by Q3 FY27.
Additionally, a Phase 3 expansion for fuel cells is underway, aimed at augmenting capacities by March 2027. The company is also leveraging its recently established Nadcap-accredited special processes facility, which covers more than 30 processes, to strengthen its competitive positioning in the global aerospace ecosystem.
What to Watch
- Execution timelines for the ₹504 Cr nuclear order and anticipated ₹150 Cr refurbishment orders in FY27
