Shares of Kilburn Engineering Limited were in focus on Tuesday after the company announced its first order from Casale SA, a Switzerland-based technology licensor serving the fertilizer, chemical and energy industries.
The contract, valued at approximately ₹70.20 crore, covers the design, engineering and manufacture of process equipment for fertilizer-related applications.
With a market capitalisation of ₹2,587.55 crore, Kilburn Engineering shares were trading at ₹483.90, up 2.7 percent from the previous close of ₹471.20. The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 28.17.
First order from Casale SA
According to a regulatory filing dated June 16, 2026, the order was secured in the ordinary course of business and marks Kilburn’s entry into Casale SA’s supplier network.
Casale is a global technology licensor for industries including fertilizers, chemicals and energy, with expertise spanning ammonia, urea, nitric acid and methanol technologies.
The ₹70.20 crore order represents around 11 percent of Kilburn Engineering’s FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹628.8 crore.
Potential for larger opportunities
While the order size itself is significant, the relationship with Casale could provide access to a broader pipeline of international projects.
Technology licensors such as Casale typically evaluate new suppliers through an initial project before extending participation across their wider portfolio. Successful execution could therefore create opportunities beyond the current order.
Kilburn already exports to several countries, including:
- United States
- France
- Germany
- China
- Indonesia
- Brazil
- South Africa
The latest order further expands the company’s international presence.
Order book and FY27 outlook
Kilburn’s unexecuted order book stood at approximately ₹467 crore at the end of FY26.
Management has guided for:
- 20-25 percent revenue growth in FY27
- Revenue in the range of ₹750-800 crore
- EBITDA margins of around 22-23 percent
The company expects exports to contribute 30-40 percent of revenue over the longer term, with growth targeted across North America, Europe, the Far East and Africa.
Capacity expansion underway
To support future growth, Kilburn is investing in two expansion projects:
- Upgrading the Saravali factory
- Completing the second phase of the M.E. Energy facility near Pune
Both projects are expected to be completed by September or October 2026.
The company has earmarked around ₹40 crore in capital expenditure across the standalone business and subsidiaries, which management believes will provide sufficient capacity through FY28.
Financial performance
For FY26, Kilburn Engineering reported:
- Consolidated revenue of ₹628.8 crore, up 48.1 percent from ₹424.46 crore in FY25.
- Net profit of ₹96.2 crore, an increase of 54.2 percent year-on-year.
- EBITDA margin of 25.13 percent, above management’s guidance.
The company became net debt-free in May 2026 after raising approximately ₹300 crore.
Its board has also recommended a final dividend of ₹3 per share, subject to shareholder approval.
