Bajel today stands as a focused, independent projects and products' company — with a clear strategic agenda, a robust order book, and a steadily improving margin profile.

Dear Shareholders,

It is a privilege to write to you after the close of a defining financial year for your Company, and a momentous milestone for the Bajaj Group as it completes a hundred years of building sustainable enterprises in service of the nation. In 1926, my grandfather Late Shri Jamnalal ji laid the foundation of what would become one of India's most endearing business houses, built on the belief that business must serve a larger purpose.

Through the freedom struggle, through the Licence Raj, through liberalisation, and now into the age of artificial intelligence, that founding philosophy — kathni karni ek si, the alignment of word and deed — has remained our North Star. Every Bajaj company, in every era, has been measured against that standard.

The discipline behind growth. Three years on, I am pleased to share that Bajel today stands as a focused, independent projects and products' company, spanning domestic power transmission, new energies, manufacturing and select international markets. The financial outcome of the year reflects this trajectory: standalone revenue from operations grew to ₹2,792 crore from ₹2,598 crore in the previous year.

Looking ahead. For the year ahead and beyond, I see three key drivers for growth. First, a market opportunity in transmission, smart grids, substations and renewable evacuation that is exceptional in scale. Second, a management team demonstrating both the capability and the integrity to capitalise on that opportunity. And third, a culture, inherited from a hundred years of Bajaj Group enterprise, that values how results are achieved as much as the results themselves.

I encourage you to read this report not as a compliance document, but as an account of how your Company is choosing to grow.

Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer
We have chosen to call this our pivot to quality of earnings. We are choosing projects very carefully, with focus on profitability and executability.

Our strategy — RAASTA 2030. Ours is a transformation story. At the heart of it is RAASTA 2030, our six-year strategic roadmap to position Bajel as a future-ready and globally recognised player in the power transmission infrastructure sector. Underpinning this is a deliberate shift in orientation — from scale-led growth to quality-led growth.

Performance in context. Your Company closed FY2026 with standalone revenue from operations of ₹2,792 crore, a growth of 7% over the previous year. Our domestic transmission and distribution business continued to be the workhorse of the year, and the fourth quarter saw inflows of mega and ultra-mega orders enabling us to exit FY2026 with a strong order book. What gives me greater confidence than the order book itself, however, is the rate at which we are converting it.

Manufacturing and vertical integration. Our Ranjangaon plant, which celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, continues to be a source of strength. The ability to galvanise, fabricate towers and build substation structures in-house gives us cost certainty, quality control and timing flexibility. As HVDC, 765 kV and smart grid projects populate the national pipeline, our integrated EPC-plus-manufacturing model provides a significant advantage.

International EPC — turning the corner. The signing of the 50:50 joint venture with Al-Sharif in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is, in my view, one of the most important strategic developments of the year. It gives us a beachhead in one of the fastest-growing electricity infrastructure markets globally.

The road ahead. For FY27 and beyond, our priorities are clear: scale Power Transmission execution velocity, deepen manufacturing competitiveness, accelerate the international EPC ramp, and use our growing capital architecture to participate in transmission asset opportunities that complement the EPC business.

Actions · How We Create Value

Built to convert opportunity into execution-led value

Value creation at Bajel is driven by margin and complexity, not sheer volume. Strategy is built around selective participation — targeting opportunities where technical barriers to entry are high, and where execution certainty and financial discipline command a premium.

Value is created when opportunity is selected with discipline, engineered with depth, and executed with control.

Capabilities · People, Culture and Safety

The human operating system

In a project-led EPC business, delivery depends not only on engineering blueprints and site machinery, but on leadership behaviour, safety discipline, localised ownership and rapid skill development.

The Values Charter — Courage, Collaboration, Commercial Mindset, Integrity and Ownership — provides a common behavioural foundation across project sites, manufacturing operations, corporate teams and customer-facing functions.

The flagship Saksham programme is a nine-month cadre-building engine anchored in the 70-20-10 learning model, giving young technical hires cross-site and cross-functional exposure before active deployment.

Capabilities · Environment, Health & Safety

From reactive to generative safety

Safety is the ultimate indicator of operational discipline. Bajel is progressing from reactive safety management towards a mature, system-led, generative safety culture built across eight operational pillars.

Six Life Saving Rules govern high-risk activities such as working at height and electrical isolation. Risk management has moved to a holistic model using HIRA and Job Safety Analysis, so every task is evaluated through a structured risk matrix before mobilisation.

Tech EHS, the enterprise-wide digital platform, serves as the analytical heartbeat of the safety culture — a centralised database accessible across all 40+ active project sites via desktop, Android and iOS, with eight specialised modules covering action tracking and closure, contractor and manpower governance, audit digitisation and training management.

ESG · Sustainability and BRSR Highlights

Responsible execution for sustainable growth

Bajel integrates resource efficiency, safety, governance and social responsibility directly into the way infrastructure is executed. FY2026 strengthened this connection by placing non-financial priorities inside the operating model rather than treating them as parallel disclosures.

Sustainable growth is not created by disclosure alone; it is built when environmental discipline, safety, social responsibility and governance are embedded into execution.

CSR and localised engagement programmes supporting education, safety awareness and community development around major project locations.

ESG · Governance and Risk Oversight

Growth supervised with discipline

Governance at Bajel serves as an execution enabler and a safeguard for business quality. As the Company scales across larger projects and sharper timelines, oversight discipline becomes central to sustaining predictable growth.

  • Disciplined selection: prioritising 400 kV and 765 kV segments where high entry barriers limit irrational competition, targeting a 10–15% win ratio on margin-accretive mandates.
  • Contractual clarity: a portfolio shifted towards clients whose contracts include price variation clauses, with proactive hedging for aluminium and zinc.
  • Capital prudence: a negative working capital cycle that self-finances growth and optimises finance costs.
