Oswal Pumps: Snapshot of Growth, Strategy, and Risks (NSE: OSWALPUMPS)

By Rahul Jain

  • Past Growth: Oswal scaled rapidly under PM-KUSUM, becoming India’s largest solar pump supplier with strong revenue and order book growth.
  • Plans: It aims to expand capacity, enter industrial pumps and motors, and grow exports and private-sector sales.
  • Risks: Heavy reliance on a tapering subsidy scheme, limited post-KUSUM demand, and exposure to policy, ESG, and working capital challenges.

RHIM (NSE: RHIM) – Margins Easing, Capex Driving Growth, Integration Overhang Fading

By Rahul Jain

  • Margin pressures are likely to ease from Q2FY26 as raw material costs normalize and recent price hikes take effect.
  • The company is executing a Rs150 Cr capex plan focused on automating DOCL plants and localizing high-margin products.
  • Integration challenges, cost inflation, and inventory issues that weighed on FY24–25 performance appear largely behind now.
