The Indian markets closed lower today, 3rd June 2025. The Nifty 50 index closed 24,524 points, down 174 points. The Sensex was lower by 636 points at 80,737 points.
The decline was due to cautious investor sentiment resulting from renewed worries about trade.
One stock that has risen sharply today is Transrail Lighting.
Let's look at the reasons for the sharp rise.
Transrail Lighting shares closed higher following the company's announcement of securing new domestic and international orders worth Rs 5.34 bn.
This includes the company's biggest substation job in Africa. The strong order inflow has contributed to a steady build-up in the core transmission & distribution (T&D) segment.
With these new orders, the FY26 order intake has crossed Rs 16 bn. The company says that it will now remain focused on efficient execution and timely delivery.
Transrail Lighting has shown a steady improvement in performance over the last few quarters.
Revenue from operations increased 38.9% to Rs 19.06 bn in Q4 2025 compared to Rs 13.72 bn a year ago. The EBITDA for Q4 2025 surged to Rs 2.37 bn from Rs 1.68 bn, a growth slightly more than 32% on YoY basis.
The net profit rose 26.9% YoY to Rs 1.26 bn in Q4 2025, up from Rs 997.2 million (m) in Q4 2024.
The company's net profit has grown at nearly 50% CAGR between FY22 and FY25.
By the end of March 2025, Transrail Lighting had a sizeable unexecuted order book of Rs 145 bn. This was a growth of 44% compared to the previous year. The international order book now comprises almost 45% of the total order book.
To meet rising demand, Transrail Lighting plans significant capital expenditure, including a new manufacturing plant and expansion of existing facilities. This capex plan, approved by the board, is part of a phased investment spread over two years.
The debt to equity of the company, at 0.34, remains reasonable to support the expansions plans.
Transrail Lighting serves the power transmission and distribution sector, railways, poles and lightings, solar EPC, and civil construction sectors.
The management of the company intends to expand EPC portfolio into other allied/ancillary infrastructure sectors.
The company also intends to focus on expanding the market for conductors and to leverage new age HTLS conductors. It's also enhancing the pole and lighting business in various product categories.
Over the last one month, the share price of Transrail Lighting has gained 42% from levels of Rs 476.5 to the current levels of Rs 676.5. The share price has gained 22% since listing in December 2024.
The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 719.15 on 6 January 2025. The stock also hit a 52-week low of Rs 375.05 on 7 April 2025.
