AXISCADES — REBUILDING A DEFENCE TECH POWERHOUSE 🚀
AXISCADES
India’s defence opportunity is expanding. But the bigger opportunity may be in the technology and engineering systems behind it.
That's where AXISCADES is repositioning itself.
The company is transforming into a focused technology business built around Defence, XIDA, Aerospace and Space — moving beyond its earlier engineering-services structure towards higher-value manufacturing and advanced technology.
And H1 FY27 shows strong growth in the retained business.
Retained revenue reached ₹378.9 crore, up 55% YoY, while Q2 retained revenue grew 30% YoY. Defence revenue increased 46% and XIDA grew 55% during the first half.
The company also reported ₹23.1 crore revenue from Aerospace Manufacturing in H1, while its Cloud Wave business delivered an EBITDA margin above 20%.
The strategic transformation is equally important.
AXISCADES completed Phase 1 of its divestment to Akkodis and received the first tranche of consideration. This is intended to simplify the business and strengthen its financial capacity to invest in its core growth areas.
The growth flywheel:
Defence orders → Engineering capabilities → Manufacturing expansion → Higher-value contracts → Revenue scale-up.
The company has also secured 16 new defence orders since its previous results, while its Space business is targeting first revenue in FY28.
But investors must read the reported numbers carefully.
Q2 consolidated PAT of ₹47.3 crore included ₹95.4 crore from discontinued operations, primarily the gain on the Phase 1 disposal. Continuing-business profitability therefore needs separate evaluation. Q2 EBITDA before the ₹12 crore ESOP charge was ₹23.4 crore.
The risks remain significant: execution, manufacturing capex, working capital, customer concentration, divestment timelines and the ability to convert order visibility into sustainable profits.
AXISCADES is attempting a major business transformation.

ANAND RATHI WEALTH — THE AUM COMPOUNDER 🏦
ANANDRATHI
India’s wealth is growing. But the bigger opportunity may lie in managing that wealth.
Anand Rathi Wealth is building a private-wealth management and financial distribution business around HNIs and affluent investors.
Its growth engine is straightforward:
More clients → More assets → More relationship managers → Higher distribution income.
And H1 FY27 shows the momentum.
As of September 2026, Assets Under Management (AUM) reached ₹1,08,377 crore, up 18.4% YoY.
For H1 FY27, consolidated total revenue rose 17.2% to ₹693 crore, while adjusted PAT increased 22.8% to ₹238 crore. Adjusted PAT excludes fair-value gains on investments, ESOP expenses and related tax effects.
The client franchise is expanding too.
Active client families: 14,309, up 12% YoY.
Relationship managers: 431, up from 386.
Q2 net inflows: ₹4,186 crore, up 39% YoY.
Equity mutual fund net inflows: ₹2,867 crore, up 39%.
The company has achieved 49% of its FY27 revenue guidance of ₹1,415 crore and 52% of its adjusted PAT guidance of ₹460 crore in the first half.
The structural opportunity is India's underpenetrated wealth-management market.
As financial savings shift towards mutual funds and professionally managed products, demand for trusted advice, portfolio solutions and wealth distribution can expand.
But this is not a pure technology business. Relationship managers, client trust and service quality remain central to scaling.
And investors must watch one important distinction: statutory consolidated PAT for Q2 was approximately ₹89 crore, down 10.7% YoY, while the company's adjusted business PAT was approximately ₹122 crore, up 22.2%. These are different measures and should not be confused.
Key risks include market-linked AUM fluctuations, competition, regulatory changes, RM attrition and the cost of expanding the distribution network.

HITACHI ENERGY: POWERING INDIA’S ELECTRIC FUTURE ⚡
POWERINDIA
The AI revolution, electric vehicles and renewable energy have one thing in common: they all need more electricity. But generating power is only half the story. Moving it reliably across the country requires advanced grid infrastructure — and Hitachi Energy India is positioned right at the centre of this opportunity.
Hitachi Energy India manufactures and supplies power transformers, high-voltage equipment, switchgear, grid automation, power electronics and transmission solutions.
And Q2 FY27 delivered a powerful performance.
Q2 FY27 consolidated highlights:
Revenue: ₹2,996.5 crore, up 63.5% YoY.
PAT: ₹318.5 crore, up 20.5% YoY.
Operational EBITDA: ₹494.4 crore, up 69.5% YoY.
Operational EBITDA margin: 16.5%.
New orders: ₹4,120.8 crore, up 85.9% YoY.
But the biggest number is the order backlog.
Record order backlog: ₹33,335.4 crore as of September 2026.
That's significant business visibility for the coming quarters.
Where is the growth coming from?
Grid modernisation: India needs stronger transmission networks to support rising electricity demand.
Renewable integration: Solar and wind require flexible, reliable grid infrastructure.
Data centres: AI infrastructure is increasing demand for dependable power systems.
Exports: International orders grew 41% YoY in Q2.
Services: The service business expanded 77% YoY.
The business flywheel:
Electricity demand → Grid investment → Equipment orders → Manufacturing → Project execution → Revenue growth.
However, investors should monitor execution, working capital, project delays, commodity costs and margins. Reported PAT growth was slower than revenue growth, and the company's operational EBITDA excludes certain adjustments, including depreciation. Valuation is another major consideration.
Hitachi Energy is not simply selling electrical equipment. It is supplying critical infrastructure for India's electrification and energy transition.
