BBajel ProjectsExecutive Cockpit

Business Overview

How Bajel turns the data from its Ranjangaon plant, project sites, tendering desk and international EPC into one trusted picture — and into the decisions that compound into shareholder value.

The Bajel Operating Platform

Order to energised grid.
One source of truth.

A multi-segment T&D EPC and tower manufacturer usually can't answer a simple question the same way twice across transmission, distribution, manufacturing and international projects. Bajel can — because every number is unified into one governed truth, then served as the exact answer each leader needs to act.

Before

Many systems, many answers

Ranjangaon MESProject ERP / SAPTendering & bid systemPGCIL / utility portalsPrimavera schedulesInternational project systemsSite logs

Each segment and project keeps its own books. A simple question — “what's our margin?” — returns a different number from each system, days later.

After

One governed truth

One ontologyGolden recordsOne metric dictionaryConfidence-flagged

Data is resolved, federated and defined once — so the same question returns the same trusted number, live, for everyone.

How it works

Five moves, raw data to realized value

Built around how leaders actually work

Every role has a journey — and an outcome

Sign in as any leader and the cockpit becomes theirs: their queue, their views, their guided path from question to decision. Here is what that looks like.

RG
Rajesh Ganesh
Managing Director & CEO
The challenge

Transmission, distribution, manufacturing and international EPC run on a patchwork of ERP, tendering, PGCIL-portal, Primavera and Ranjangaon MES systems — no single, trustworthy read on whether the order-book / growth thesis is compounding value or just adding lumpy revenue.

What they get

One live enterprise picture and a ranked queue of the highest-value moves across the four segments and the ₹4,055 Cr order book.

Their day, better

Walks into the board meeting with the answer — not a three-day data pull.

NB
Nitesh Bhandari
CFO & Joint President · Margin · Working Capital · Balance Sheet
The challenge

The thin EBITDA margin (~4.4%), the 214-day working-capital cycle and the borrowings that fund it (₹15→₹367 Cr) are buried across project ledgers.

What they get

P&L, working capital, covenant headroom and the equity re-rating in one governed pane — plus an agentic scenario planner.

Their day, better

Sees the capex path (Ranjangaon, 765 kV, MENA) and the cash to fund it in seconds.

💰CFO: margin expansion & working-capital discipline

Earnings to cash to value: the consolidated P&L, steel/zinc commodity cost and the heavy working-capital cycle (214 debtor days), modest net leverage (~1.3× net debt/EBITDA, CRISIL A+), segment economics, and the listed-company valuation view.

SB
Board & Promoters
Chairman Shekhar Bajaj · Bajaj family 62.53% · Jamnalal Sons backing
The challenge

Hard to know if order-book growth, margin expansion and internationalisation are compounding shareholder value — and how the ~66× P/E reads against listed T&D peers (KEC / Kalpataru / Skipper).

What they get

The equity-story plan, EBITDA quality and the EV / market-cap bridge, governance-grade — with the Bajaj-Group (Jamnalal Sons) backing tracked.

Their day, better

Reads the return, the leverage track and the maiden-dividend story at a glance.

AN
Ajay Nagle
Whole-Time Director — Project Execution & Delivery
The challenge

The execution champion's project margins, milestone billing and on-time completion sit apart from the order-book view.

What they get

The live project book, erection & commissioning progress and how on-time delivery protects the thin margin and the client relationship.

Their day, better

Sees where execution is winning — and where a slipping milestone is about to eat margin and cash.

🌍Capability, exports & new energies

Build the capability and open new axes — 765 kV AIS/GIS, data-centre substations, MENA exports and New Energies / RE-evacuation: where the demand is, the capex behind it, the segments they join, execution & commissioning, the qualification to deliver, and how they lift blended margin.

BD
Head — Business Development & Tendering
Head, Business Development & Tendering · Order book & bids
The challenge

Bid pipeline, TBCB tender awards, win-rate and the order-book walk surface too late, tender by tender.

What they get

Live bid pipeline (₹15,000 Cr addressable), order inflow, win/loss and the honest order-book walk (incl. the Mar-25 dip) in one place.

Their day, better

Runs the tendering desk without firefighting — pipeline converting, book growing, concentration falling.

🏭Execute projects, plant & commissioning

Sense → decide → act across the project sites and the Ranjangaon plant: the towers, the agents that act, execution & commissioning, the workforce, and steel/zinc supply & commodity risk.

MG
Head — Manufacturing & Galvanizing
Head, Manufacturing & Galvanizing · Ranjangaon plant
The challenge

Fabrication throughput, galvanizing utilization and the ₹170 Cr Ranjangaon capacity expansion are each tracked in their own silo.

What they get

The Ranjangaon ramp (60,000 MT/yr fabrication, ~98% galvanizing utilization → 110,000 MT) and third-party galvanizing economics in one place.

Their day, better

Sees where the plant is winning volume and margin — and where to put the next capex rupee.

IN
Head — International & New Energies
Head, International & New Energies · MENA & RE-evacuation
The challenge

The MENA (Egypt / Saudi / UAE) and New-Energies (RE-evacuation, data-centre GIS) order books are scattered across desks and geographies.

What they get

Funnel → award → international & New-Energies wins and their execution / country / LC risk, in one flow.

Their day, better

Knows where the next export order comes from and manages the risk on it.

🌍Capability, exports & new energies

Build the capability and open new axes — 765 kV AIS/GIS, data-centre substations, MENA exports and New Energies / RE-evacuation: where the demand is, the capex behind it, the segments they join, execution & commissioning, the qualification to deliver, and how they lift blended margin.

The value-creation engine

Four pillars, each with its levers, agents and a number

Bajel's leadership runs the company on four priorities. Each pillar has concrete levers, a standing AI agent (or desk) working it, and a live goal with a target — so the thesis is measurable, not a slogan.

🏗️Profitable Order-Book Growth

Grow the ₹4,055 Cr order book profitably and convert the ₹15,000 Cr bid pipeline — riding the PGCIL / NEP T&D capex supercycle and 765 kV / TBCB wins.

Levers
  • Convert the bid pipeline into ₹3,600 Cr+ of order inflow
  • Diversify beyond PGCIL into private, data-centre & international
  • Hold order-book cover above 1.45× of revenue

Levers
  • Win higher-value substation & GIS scope
  • Hedge steel / zinc & apply price-escalation clauses
  • Pull overheads down as volume scales

  • Turn free cash flow positive as the book normalises
  • Protect wide covenant headroom & the CRISIL A+ rating

Everything connects to the project

The ontology is the model behind the truth: ten classes, one keystone. The project / site is where segment, leader, client and geography reconcile — so a number computed anywhere foots everywhere.

See it whole

Every subject, composed into one 360

A 360 assembles everything the platform knows about one subject — graph context, governed metrics, external signals — into one role-ready surface a person and an agent read the same way.

Tender to cash

Follow the money, end to end

One spine shows the value, the conversion, the days and the leakage at every handoff — from tender to collected cash, with work-in-progress and milestone-billing / receivables drag at each step. The biggest pool: aged receivables (214 debtor days).

Walk the cycle
The engine room

Invest it, transform it fast, prove it returns — and trust every number

The order-book / growth strategy only works if execution moves fast and the thesis is provable — and only matters if the numbers tie out. A standing reconciliation harness proves each metric equals the sum of its parts.
