For <strong>9M FY26<\/strong>, the revenue contribution by vertical is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Industrial Electronics (~59%):<\/strong> The largest and most stable segment, focused on industrial automation and power electronics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automotive (24%):<\/strong> A major growth driver, specifically focused on <strong>EV components<\/strong> and electronic control units (ECUs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Railways &amp; Defence (7%):<\/strong> While currently smaller, this is the highest-conviction growth area due to the <strong>Kavach<\/strong> (train protection) system and aerospace contracts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emerging Verticals (Medical &amp; IoT):<\/strong> These segments are seeing the fastest percentage growth, with Aerospace specifically growing over <strong>1300% YoY<\/strong> in recent quarters off a small base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Strategic Growth in Order Book<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The order book has surged to <strong>\u20b99,100 crore<\/strong> (as of Q3\/Q4 FY26), reflecting a <strong>50% YoY increase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ODM &amp; Product Engineering (20% of Order Book):<\/strong> This is the highest-margin segment. Management expects this share to increase to <strong>25\u201327%<\/strong> as they finalise more &#8220;design-led&#8221; contracts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Metering:<\/strong> A new high-volume growth engine.
