The company’s topline (standalone) is growing at a steady pace, almost @20%. Margin is going up due to better capacity utilization, and due to increasing share of service revenue. The parent company had 62% capacity utilization in FY 2025, which may go up to almost 80% in current financial year.
Standalone numbers of Park solutions was 10.3 Cr revenue & 82 Lakhs PAT in H1’FY25. In H1 2025-26, they have done almost 16 crores topline with 3 crores PBT. The subsidiary was working on 71% capacity in FY 2025, with almost 50% growth they shall be working on 100% capacity in FY 2026. The company has informed that the subsidiary has brought industrial land nearby, it appears that they have expansion plan for the subsidiary.
The contribution of subsidiary is likely to grow in the company. The consolidated order book of the company stood at 22 Crs as of Aug 2025, with the parent company accounting for 11.4 Crs and the subsidiary contributing 10.7 Crs.

From these information, I estimate (pure guesswork) for FY 2025-26 a consolidated topline of almost 105 crores [70 crores for parent and 35 crores for subsidiary] with PAT of almost 16 crores if present margin can be sustained in H2- 2025-26.

Management Quality
Nothing is known much about the management. However, in my view a person who can create a business of almost 400 crores market cap from scratch has some management acumen.
The promoter is a long term investor in some decent listed companies like Chennai Ferrous, Gita Renewables, Roto Pumps. Roto Pump holding is significant.
Investment Thesis
- It is the only pure play elevator company in listed space.
- Elevator business has decent maintenance and spare business. The company claims 8000 installations, which is likely to grow in course of time.
- The company has expansions plans, and looks like that the company’s products are well accepted in the market.
- Home elevator space is growing at a decent pace. The company has recently reported successful delivery of 3 state-of-the-art single phase home elevators at a prestigious duplex project in Kolkata, marking our strong entry into the ~₹2000 Cr niche B2C home elevator market that is ripe for disruption with innovative, elegant, and aesthetic solutions.
- The company expects India’s elevator and parking markets growing at 15-20% CAGR through 2030. Parking market growth can be higher. Sharing the press release of the company.

Concerns:

- There are some red flags in the balance sheet like some disputes with tax departments, non payment of some money to governments, MSMEs etc.
- Promoter directors salary appears to be on higher side.

Valuation
The company has equity base of 19 crores, and at present market price [Rs. 217], the company is valued at almost 416 crores. Based on current year’s earning estimates, it is trading at 26 times earning. Not cheap.
Growth Catalysts
-The elevator market is growing at 15-20% CAGR as per the management view.
-Parking subsidiary shall be working at almost 100% capacity in the current financials. They have already taken land for the subsidiary and I guess that they will start another unit next year.
-Though it may not be possible to them to compete against Otis/Kone, in home elevator market they can do well which is growing at a decent pace.
-Presently their spares and service business is around 7% which is likely to grow going forward in future.
