Cosmic CRF Ltd (CCL) has reported exceptional growth in its first quarter of FY 2024-25. The company achieved a staggering 108.64 per cent year-over-year volume growth, marking its highest-ever quarterly sales since inception. This robust performance is driven by a strong order book of Rs. 550 crores for both CCL and its subsidiary, N.S. Engineering Projects Pvt Ltd. The latter is also progressing rapidly, with plant commissioning expected in August 2024, six months ahead of schedule. CCL's installed capacity is set to expand significantly, reaching 70,000 tons per annum by March 2025.

Financial performance has been equally impressive. Q1 EBITDA surpassed the previous year's by a substantial margin, and the company is confident of exceeding FY 2023-24 sales and EBITDA margins. The management attributes this strong performance to increased volumes and operational leverage. CCL has successfully achieved its planned installed capacity and has a robust pipeline of orders worth Rs 119 crore. The company is actively exploring strategic partnerships, including a potential tech tie-up with a major Russian railway giant, to further solidify its position in the wagon industry.
