Analysis: Thermax Limited

NSE:THERMAX Capital Goods - Engineering General Market cap: ₹42.4K cr

Growth thesis

Thermax provides engineering solutions across energy, environment, and chemicals, operating through Industrial Products, Industrial Infra, and Green Solutions segments. Over the next 2-3 years, revenue trajectory will be driven by a 27% higher order book anchored by an INR 1,600 crore supercritical boiler order and expanding data centre cooling and boiler opportunities. Management is executing INR 250 crore in capacity expansions for boiler and cooling facilities to support this demand. Margin dynamics will shift as legacy low-margin bio-CNG and FGD orders conclude, replaced by new cooling and supercritical orders booked with better target profiles. Industrial Products margins should also recover via a favorable mix shift toward biomass boilers in Europe. Green Solutions will scale past the 250 MW commissioned in FY26, with FY27 expected to close stronger. The key execution watchpoint is resolving recent working capital build-up from project delays and managing raw material inflation, alongside potential capex delays from the Middle East crisis.

Why is Thermax Limited stock rising?

  • Data centre opportunity expanding beyond cooling to include boiler/energy solutions, with a large order for steam turbine-based solutions expected to conclude in Q1
  • Green Solutions: Thermax Onsite Energy Solutions performing strongly; First Energy projects to be commissioned in next 2-3 quarters, with FY27 expected to close much better
  • Coal gasification technology ready for market; awaiting government policy support and expected to benefit from energy crisis
  • Bio-CNG business seeing increasing state government policy support, creating a better opportunity going forward
  • Capacity expansion planned in boiler and cooling facilities to de-bottleneck and support demand growth
