MAN Industries Targets Major Revenue Boost in Saudi Arabia, Aiming for 35-40% Contribution in Three Years, Says Nikhil Mansukhani

MAN Industries is leveraging burgeoning pipeline and infrastructure opportunities, particularly through its strategic expansion in Saudi Arabia, to foster a diversified and globally integrated platform. Following a formidable Q1FY27, the company has identified its new Dammam facility and Jammu steel plant as catalysts for future growth, projecting that revenues from Saudi Arabia could contribute ₹1,200–1,500 crore this fiscal year. This region is anticipated to account for 35–40% of total consolidated revenue over the next three years, thereby affirming its critical role in the firm’s strategic roadmap.

In Q1FY27, MAN Industries recorded a consolidated EBITDA increase of 92.6% year-on-year, with margins expanding to 14.6%. This performance was underpinned by an optimised product and geographic mix. However, the company maintains its EBITDA margin guidance for FY27 at a range of 13-15%, indicating a prudent approach amid the inherent variabilities in project execution. The order book stands at approximately ₹3,600 crore, primarily executable within the next 6–12 months, thus providing solid revenue visibility as execution progresses.

The Saudi expansion is expected to start contributing meaningfully from Q2FY27, with an estimated quarterly revenue of ₹300-400 crore from NPC operations. As the company ramps up its strategic initiatives, including the commissioning of new facilities by March 2027, investors are advised to track execution milestones closely. The Jammu project also holds significance, with expectations of it evolving into a high-value segment over the next few years. MAN Industries anticipates total capital expenditures to peak around ₹700-800 crore in FY27, funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt, while the current financial structure remains robust, positioning the company well for its next phase of growth.

Looking forward, FY27 marks an inflection point for MAN Industries, as it seeks to evolve into a more diversified pipeline solutions provider. The trajectory over the next three years suggests a shift towards international markets and higher-value applications, with exports already constituting 75-80% of overall revenue. With the anticipated growth in the MENA region, coupled with developments in the Jammu facility, the company aims to cultivate a more resilient earnings profile, potentially transforming its revenue mix and operational margins in the medium term.
