A precision engineering company’s filings show four things worth reading: which customer industries pay it, how much it sells abroad, how much rests on a few customers, and whether new capacity is running or still planned. MTAR Technologies’ annual report and its July 2026 investor presentation show all four.
Precision engineering is making parts and assemblies to very tight tolerances, the small margin of error a drawing allows. One maker often serves several end markets, the industries its customers sell into, so a company’s total revenue says little until it is split. This post reads one company’s documents to show where each split sits, and it is not a view on the company.
Start with how much of MTAR is precision engineering
MTAR’s Annual Report FY2025-26 is the main source here. FY2026 means the financial year to 31 March 2026, and FY2025 the year before. Companies report a segment, a part of the business with its own figures, when management runs it separately. MTAR reports one. Its accounts treat “manufacturing high precision and heavy equipment, components, machines” as a single business segment, so for this company the sector figures and the company figures are the same thing.
MTAR does track revenue by customer sector, and that is the split worth reading first. The figures below are standalone, meaning MTAR alone without its subsidiaries; the consolidated figures, which add the subsidiaries, differ by less than ₹0.1 crore of revenue from customers.
Which customer industries pay the bills
Revenue from operations is the money earned from the business itself, before other income such as interest. The annual report splits it four ways:
| Customer sector | FY2026, ₹ crore | Share of FY2026 | FY2025, ₹ crore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean energy: civil nuclear power | 23.6 | 2.7% | 18.4 |
| Clean energy: fuel cells, hydro power and others | 614.6 | 70.2% | 416.9 |
| Aerospace and defence | 103.8 | 11.8% | 93.2 |
| Products and others | 134.1 | 15.3% | 147.5 |
| Total revenue from operations | 876.1 | 100% | 676.0 |
Source: MTAR Technologies, Annual Report FY2025-26, “Sectorial Revenue break up”, page 43, and Management Discussion and Analysis, page 62. Reported in ₹ million; converted to ₹ crore (one crore is 10 million) and rounded. Shares are the report’s own.
Civil nuclear covers components for nuclear power reactors. Fuel cells make electricity from a fuel through a chemical reaction rather than by burning it; the presentation says MTAR supplies products for solid oxide fuel cells, one type of the technology. Fuel cells, hydro power and others together earned 70% of FY2026 revenue, up from about 62% the year before.
Revenue from customers in a sector is not the same as the size of that sector in India, or the company’s market share. Each of those answers a different question, and none of them is in this table.
“Products and others” is 15% of revenue, and the report gives it no breakdown beyond the label. Without one, a reader cannot assign that revenue to any end market, so it should stay unassigned.
Where the customers are
The notes to the accounts split revenue by where the customer is located. In FY2026, ₹717.9 crore of ₹865.3 crore of revenue from contracts with customers came from customers outside India, about 83%. In FY2025 it was ₹531.8 crore of ₹664.6 crore, about 80%. Revenue from contracts with customers is revenue from operations before items such as export incentives, which is why its total is lower.
The note gives India and outside India only. It does not name countries and does not split exports by customer sector, so a reader cannot work out, for example, how much aerospace revenue came from abroad.

How much rests on one customer
Customer concentration is how much of a company’s revenue depends on a few buyers. Indian accounting standards require a company to report any single customer that contributes 10% or more of revenue. MTAR’s note reports one such customer in each year: ₹633.4 crore in FY2026 and ₹483.7 crore in FY2025. Against revenue from contracts with customers, that is about 73% in both years.
The company says the same in its own words. Its risk section states: “A significant proportion of the Company’s revenues has historically been derived from a limited number of customers.” It also describes what it is doing to widen the base, including new products and new verticals such as oil and gas.
The credit risk note adds that its major customers “are usually the Government parties and export customers with high credit worthiness” (page 240). That describes how likely they are to pay, not how much they buy.
The note does not name the customer, say which sector it buys for, or give the length of its contracts. Without those, a reader cannot tell how long that revenue is committed for, and should not assume the customer belongs to any particular sector in the table above.

Capacity: plans are not production
Capacity is how much a facility can make. A capacity announcement can describe four different stages: proposed, under construction, commissioned, meaning formally brought into use, and producing at the intended level. MTAR’s documents show several stages at once.
| Project | What the document says | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated aerospace facility | The company “commissioned a dedicated Aerospace facility in January 2025” (presentation, page 5) | Commissioned |
| Fuel cells, phase 1 | “completed by March 2026”, adding about 50% to the baseline capacity (annual report, page 40) | Completed, per the company |
| New greenfield facility, for oil and gas and fuel cells phase 2 | “expected to be commissioned by Q3 FY 27”, that is, October to December 2026 (presentation, page 21) | Planned |
| Fuel cells, phase 3, in a new facility | “will be completed at the new facility by March 2027” (presentation, page 21) | Planned |
Sources: MTAR Technologies, Investor Presentation, July 2026, filed with NSE, pages 5 and 21; Annual Report FY2025-26, page 40. A greenfield facility is one built on a new site.
Two gaps matter. Neither document gives the baseline capacity in units, so “about 50%” cannot be turned into output, and neither gives a utilisation figure, the share of capacity actually in use. The annual report also says MTAR’s facilities are “fungible across all the sectors”, meaning a line can be switched between markets, so capacity cannot be assigned to one end market either.
Four questions sort any capacity announcement:
- What stage has it reached: proposed, under construction, commissioned or producing?
- Is a capacity number given, and in what unit?
- Is there a later document confirming that production has started?
- Is the revenue from the new capacity reported, or only expected?
The two later projects are expectations. A planned date is a target, and only a later disclosure can show the facility commissioned. Updates like the July investor presentation reach the exchanges as filings, and that is where each stage can be followed.

A checklist for any precision engineering filing
- Scope: does the company report one segment or several, and how much of its revenue is the sector?
- End markets: is revenue split by customer sector, product or segment, and is any category broad?
- Geography: what share comes from customers outside India, and is it split further?
- Concentration: does a note report customers above 10% of revenue, and is the figure revenue or receivables?
- Capacity: is each project proposed, under construction, commissioned or producing?
- Output: is a capacity or utilisation figure given, or only a percentage increase?
- Source and date: can each number be traced to a page of a filed document?
Receivables, which the concentration line mentions, are amounts customers owe for goods already supplied. A share of receivables is not a share of revenue, and the two should not be swapped.
What the filings show, and what they cannot
MTAR’s filings show a business where fuel cells, hydro power and other clean energy work earned 70% of FY2026 revenue, customers outside India about 83%, and one unnamed customer about 73%. They show one facility commissioned, one capacity phase described as complete and two still planned.
They cannot show who the large customer is, how long its orders run, how much each facility produces or what the planned capacity will earn. Those answers need later disclosures. MTAR is one worked example of reading a precision engineer’s filings, not a view on the company.
