On studying the porcelain insulator space, I must say, what’s unfolding here is quite incredible. There has been virtually no meaningful capacity addition over the last decade, largely due to the fear that polymer insulators would gradually eat into porcelain’s market share. To a large extent, that shift has already played out. However, with the resurgence of HVDC, a segment where substation loads can only be handled by high voltage porcelain insulators, the equation has reversed. We are now looking at a huge supply-demand mismatch, and this appears structural in nature. Adding to this, capacity expansion in this space is extremely capital intensive, which means only a handful of players have the ability to scale. That will further tighten the supply side. There is no substitute. Whatever share polymer was supposed to capture, it has largely already taken. With the resurgence of HVDC, porcelain is back in focus. And this is without even factoring in incremental demand from data centers. To me, this looks like one of those rare, once-in-a-decade kind of opportunities. In the immediate short term, there may be some impact from gas shortages and rising energy costs. However, once the Hormuz issue is resolved, things should normalize. Trying to learn more on this.




DEE Development Engineers will win this tender, could be anything from 400cr to 1000cr. This is first tender for 2 boilers. Every year work for 10 boilers (minimum) has to be outsourced for next 10 years. Dee Dev has right to win.


Influx Healthtech - has been Maintaining strength near ATH Expecting solid show Sector worth watching







Interesting listing tomorrow — Recode Studios Ltd Recode is a cosmetics & personal care brand selling through distributors, retail stores, online marketplaces, and its own website. The IPO is coming at ~14x FY26 annualized earnings. Even if it lists 31% higher as GMP suggests, valuation would still be around 18.5x PE — still inexpensive compared to many listed peers in this space. Company has shown strong revenue growth, PAT growth, return ratios, and importantly turned CFO positive in FY25 and 9MFY26. The key thing to watch will be margin sustainability. EBITDA margins improved sharply from ~5% in FY24 to 13% in FY25 and ~23% in 9MFY26. • Price band: ₹150–158 • Market cap: ~₹168 Cr • Good anchor book • Featured on Shark Tank India • Promoter holding post listing: 65.01% Not an investment advice.





Insulators are a new area for me, so I’ve been trying to read as much as possible. Did a small experiment, checked out HIIL’s factory on Google Maps, pulled images from inside the facility, and asked Claude to create a product capability report. Turned out to be a pretty solid read. drive.google.com/file/d/1PLO9-X… Purely for EDUCATIONAL purpose. No buy/sell advice, please.
