The Company:
Envirotech Systems Limited is a company engaged in the business of acoustic solutions. They claim to be a leader in this niche area. Their capability to provide noise control solutions is spread over a number of domains. Envirotech is a manufacturer of noise control products and provider of acoustic solutions, both in India and overseas. The company specializes in customized acoustic enclosures for turbines, compressors, centrifugal blowers, cooling towers, and other industrial as well as commercial applications.
The Business:
Management has described the business as,
“I again repeat that we are the solution provider for several noise related problems and issues. So there are three basically verticals, one is an engineering acoustic, there’s a lot of noise equipments as you stated like the turbine, blowers, compressors and all. That are being manufactured at our organization and we provide the acoustic housing to control the noise. So beside that engineering acoustic, there are lot of opportunities for us in the project because not only these machines but several utilities also making a lot of noise like with the current urban development, there are several cooling towers, we are executing few crores of project at Bengaluru, at BALCO, at Korba, where they are facing some cooling noise. So it’s a primary project where we are providing some good works and the barriers. So yes, the SQUs are customized and designed which depends upon the site requirement and the constraint. So besides the enclosures, we also do acoustic duos is a product which allow the air to release but arrest the noise waves. For that we have a noise barrier which builds like a wall which barricade the noises. Along with this, we are having some commercial products too which are applicable for auditorium and the office space like the soundproof doors and all. So yes, the queues are in multiple.”
The business is structured around engineering acoustics (core industrial), project-based acoustics (urban infra, utilities), and commercial acoustics (auditoriums, offices). The company claims significant technical differentiation, highlighting its R&D, in-house testing, government certifications, and collaborations (e.g., with IIT Delhi for new materials). Management noted, “90% of our competitors… do not have that kind of customization that we are able to provide. That is our USP.”
To the best of my knowledge, there is no listed peer to the company.
The company started in 2007 as manufacturer of sound control products. In due course they increased their product offering and technical expertise. They have a manufacturing facility of work space area covers over 21520 sq. ft. and comprises of a range of equipment for different purposes. Their second plan is coming nearby with around 90000 sq.ft. area. The new plant is coming online, with partial operations by mid-June 2025 (40% utilization) and full operations by December 2025. Management expects “150% kickoff” in capacity utilization in FY26 versus current, with targeted revenue capacity of ₹200-250 crores per annum when fully operational.
FY26 Revenue Guidance: â‚ą100 crores, with plant utilization ramping through the year.

Financials:
The company has been a performing well for last 5 years. The topline and the bottomline has gone up substantially.
- Lacklustre growth in FY 2025 appears to be due to capacity constraints.
F26 Projection: Management has guided a topline of 100 crores with 25% EBIDTA. Depreciation is likely to be a bit higher, and thus we can expect PBT of 20 crores.
Valuation:
- Current Market Price: Rs. 129 Market Capitalization: 242 Crores.
- They came out with IPO, entirely fresh issue, @56 per share. Promoters hold 69% of shares.
- In the last 4 years, the company topline and bottomline has grown at a very high pace. Such growth cannot be expected to continue in future. Nevertheless, management has guided 100% topline growth in current financial year with slightly lower margins. New capacity can scale the company to upto 200-250 crores. Taking a base value of 50 crores, I expect a decent growth in the company going forward.
- Presently the company is trading at 17 times last year earning which looks attractive compared to the growth expectation.
Reasons for Investment:
- New capacity is coming in line, which may give a jump to the topline and bottom line as expected by the management.

- The company is operating on impressive margins, showing some competitive advantage for the company. Though the margins are likely to fall to 25-26% range as expected by management, it still shows some competitive advantage.
