About the Company

Aequs Limited is a precision component manufacturer primarily engaged in producing vertically integrated components for the aerospace sector. The company manufactures precisely machined parts for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators, covering engine systems, landing systems, aircraft structures, cargo components, and interior assemblies.

These products include cookware, small home appliances, outdoor toys, figurines, and parts for portable computing and smart devices. The company operates three vertically integrated precision manufacturing ecosystems in India, supported by its facilities, select suppliers, and joint ventures (JVs). These ecosystems include machining, forging, surface treatment, and assembly capabilities. Aequs Limited also undertakes niche metallurgy works, such as machining titanium and high-end alloys.

Pros

  • • Aequs Limited claims to operate one of the most comprehensive precision manufacturing setups within a single special economic zone (SEZ), with machining, forging, surface treatment and assembly under one network. As of September 30, 2025, the company reports having over 200 CNC machines and 161 molding machines, supporting more than 29 lakh machining/molding hours annually. These capabilities allow the company to perform 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis machining for complex aerospace components as well as consumer electronics and plastics.
  • • The company operates three integrated precision manufacturing ecosystems in India, supported by suppliers and joint ventures. These ecosystems enable it to manufacture aerospace and consumer components from start to finish, including advanced machining and assembly. The model also supports co-located production, which reduces logistics time and aligns with global OEM preferences for consolidated suppliers.
  • • Aequs Limited claims to maintain facilities in three countries, India, the US, and France, placing it in proximity to major aerospace OEMs. Past acquisitions such as T&K Machine in the US and the SIRA Group in France have provided capabilities in machining, assembly, fabrication, and testing. This geographic network helps the company service customers such as Boeing, Spirit, Safran, and Collins Aerospace more closely.

Cons

  • • utstanding financial indebtedness of Rs 630.86 crore. Any failure to service or repay these loans can harm the company’s operations and financial position.Aequs has recorded losses of Rs 16.98 crore in the period ended September 30, 2025, Rs 102.35 crore in FY25, Rs 14.24 crore in FY24, and Rs 109.49 crore in FY23. The company has also made impairment provisions for goodwill in subsidiaries. Ongoing losses or additional impairment requirements could further impact the company’s financial condition and cash flows.
  • • The company derives a major share of its revenue from the aerospace business. For the period ended September 30, 2025, net external revenue from this segment was Rs 473.95 crore (88.23 percent) of the company’s total revenue, compared to Rs 824.64 crore (89.19 percent) in FY25; Rs 756.98 crore (78.44 percent) in FY24; and Rs 585.18 crore (72.06 percent) in FY23. This concentration makes the business highly sensitive to global aerospace demand, especially in the US, France, and India.
  • • The company remains dependent on its largest customer groups for a significant share of revenue. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, revenue from the top three customer groups was Rs 286.77 crore (53.39 percent) of the company’s total revenue, compared to Rs 499.05 crore (53.97 percent) in FY25; Rs 489.79 crore (50.75 percent) in FY24; and Rs 416.16 crore (51.24 percent) in FY23. Loss or financial weakening of any such customer could materially impact the company’s performance.
