Analysis: KRN Heat Exchanger & Refrigeration Ltd.

NSE:KRN Engineering - General Market cap: ₹9.8K cr

Growth thesis

KRN designs and manufactures heat exchangers for HVAC, data centers, transport, and industrial cooling. Key segments include bus AC (targeting 15% market share in FY27), data center cooling (19% revenue share in FY26), and industrial heat exchangers. Growth hinges on 50% new Neemrana plant utilization in FY27 (80% by FY28), PLI/RIFS incentives (5% PLI, 1.56% RIFS annually), and export expansion (Rs.200 cr target in FY27). Over 2-3 years, 6x capacity expansion, data center traction, and margin uplift from backward integration could drive revenue toward Rs.2,250–2,850 cr by FY28. Key execution risk: delays in achieving utilization targets or BIS certification bottlenecks for new products.
