Answers

Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.

How fast it has been growing

Sales grew 4.6% over the past year, and 9.6% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 13.4% to 12.5% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 9.6% a year against a sector median of 10.6% — 1.1 percentage points slower.

Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating

At 51.7× earnings it costs 2.2× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 48.0×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 50.6×, the 53rd percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 3.0 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 17%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

How it compares with its peers

Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Compressors, Pumps & Diesel Engines), it ranks 6 of 14 on returns, 7 of 13 on growth, 10 of 14 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?

A narrow advantage: it earns 24.7% on capital, ahead of 57% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

Whether its growth pays for itself

Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹522 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹427 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹342 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 11 years, about 73 arrived as cash. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 54 days for its cash to waiting 104 days for its cash.

News impact

Big market events that reach Ksb Limited, and how the effect spreads.

Who it hits first

  • KSB Limited, which makes pumps and valves, won a Rs118 crore export order from Dangote Projects Free Zone for boiler feed pump packages.
  • The pumps will be used in fertilizer and energy plants, with delivery planned from September 2027 to March 2028.
  • KSB shares jumped nearly 10% on September 30 as investors cheered the win and stronger export outlook.

Who may gain

  • KSB Limited (pump and valve maker) — gets the Rs118 crore order directly and stronger export credentials in fertilizer and energy.
  • Shakti Pumps, Kirloskar Brothers and Oswal Pumps (pump makers) — benefit because the win shows healthy overseas demand for Indian pumps.
  • Elgi Equipments, Ingersoll Rand India and Kirloskar Pneumatic (compressor and equipment makers) — see only a mild lift in mood as other factory-equipment makers.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Dangote Projects Free Zone is the end user and will install the boiler feed pumps in its fertilizer and energy plants; KSB's domestic customers NTPC Limited (power generator) and Indian Oil Corporation (oil refiner and fuel seller) get no direct benefit from this export order.

Upstream

KSB's two listed suppliers, DISAQ and INVPRECQ, provide parts and materials for its pumps, so building Rs118 crore of boiler feed pumps for September 2027 to March 2028 could modestly lift their component orders.

Where demand moves

Business

Dangote Projects Free Zone, which runs fertilizer and energy plants, needs boiler feed pumps and has asked KSB Limited to build Rs118 crore worth, lifting KSB's order book and export sales from September 2027 to March 2028.

Capital

Investors rushed to buy KSB shares on September 30, pushing the price up nearly 10%, and some buying may spill over to other pump makers like Shakti Pumps and Kirloskar Brothers; power and fuel buyers gain no new money flow from this export win.

How it spreads across sectors

Capital Goods

Positive — a Rs118 crore export pump win shows healthy overseas demand for Indian pumps and factory equipment, lifting mood for pump makers.

Chemicals

Neutral to mildly positive — fertilizer-linked equipment demand is encouraging, but chemical makers get no direct orders from this win.

Power

Neutral — power generators buy pumps but gain nothing directly from KSB's Dangote export order.

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

Pattern name

Crude Oil Cascade

Patterns

  • Crude Oil Cascade

Sectors queried

  • Cement
  • Chemicals
  • FMCG
  • Power

When it plays out

Immediate

In the next 1 to 7 days KSB holds most of its nearly 10% jump with some profit-taking, while pump makers see mild sympathy buying.

Medium term

Over 1 to 6 months focus shifts to execution — parts buying from suppliers and progress toward September 2027 delivery — and any follow-on Dangote or fertilizer orders would extend gains.

Short term

Over 1 to 4 weeks analysts size the Rs118 crore order against KSB's order book, and peers trade on export hopes without new wins of their own.

Who it hits first

  • Oswal Pumps, a pump maker expanding into solar work, won a Rs 273.19 crore order from TGREDCO to put rooftop solar plants on 9,937 government schools in Telangana.
  • Its shares rose 8% as investors priced in the new revenue from nearly 10,000 school installations.
  • Rival pump and equipment makers won nothing here, so the gain sits with Oswal alone.

Who may gain

  • Oswal Pumps: Rs 273.19 crore of fresh project revenue across 9,937 school sites.
  • TGREDCO and Telangana's schools: solar rooftops cutting power bills and aiding green targets.
  • Short-term Oswal shareholders: an 8% price pop on the announcement.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream, TGREDCO (the Telangana green-energy agency) receives 9,937 solar rooftops for its schools; Tata Power, Oswal's graphed customer, is not party to this order and sees no flow.

Upstream

Upstream gets a mild pull: panel, inverter, cable and mounting-structure suppliers to Oswal should see extra dispatches as 9,937 sites roll out, though the pack names no specific supplier.

Where demand moves

Business

Real business demand lands on Oswal Pumps: 9,937 school rooftops need panels, mounting, wiring and installation, which becomes booked revenue as sites are executed; rival bidders get none of this work.

Capital

Capital follows the order: buyers chased Oswal Pumps shares up 8%, while peer pump and power-equipment stocks see no new money from this single-company win.

How it spreads across sectors

Capital Goods

Small positive for equipment makers on green-order momentum, but revenue lands only with Oswal, so peers barely move.

Power

Mildly supportive: 9,937 solar school rooftops add distributed green capacity, too small to shift big generators.

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

  • TGREDCO awards 9,937 school solar rooftops → Oswal Pumps books Rs 273.19 cr order revenue
  • Rooftop rollout → panel, inverter, cable and mounting dispatches rise
  • Schools generate daytime solar → grid draw and power bills fall in Telangana
  • Distributed green capacity grows → Power sector renewable mix edges up

Pattern name

Energy Transition Cascade

Patterns

  • Energy Transition Cascade

Sectors queried

  • Auto
  • Oil & Gas

When it plays out

Immediate

Oswal shares stay firm near the 8% pop as the TGREDCO order details and execution schedule sink in.

Medium term

Installation progress and TGREDCO payments decide the real margin; steady execution extends gains, delays trim them.

Short term

Work orders and site mobilisation across the 9,937 schools confirm the revenue pipeline; peers drift on their own news.
