Not Rated Rolex Rings Ltd For Target Not Rated by Choice Institutional Equities Ltd
Rolex Rings is well-positioned to benefit from the recovery in global automotive demand and the structural shift towards higher-value precision-machined components. We visited the company's manufacturing facilities in Rajkot and met the management of Rolex Rings, Mr Hiren Doshi – CFO and Mr Mihir Madeka – Director, there. During the plant visit, we noted the company’s integrated manufacturing capabilities across forging, heat treatment, machining, tooling and quality control, supported by high-speed forging and advanced CNC/VMC machining infrastructure. With 1,65,000 MTPA forging capacity and 75+ Mn units machining capacity, the company has adequate headroom to support its growth plans.
Our View: Rolex Rings is at a structural inflection point, transitioning from a bearing-ring franchise towards a higher-value precision autocomponent platform. Rising exports, new customer programmes and increasing wallet share should drive the next leg of growth.
Management remains confident of mid-teen FY27 revenue growth, with 21– 22% EBITDA margin guidance, supported by US demand recovery, autocomponent ramp-up and higher utilisation. With utilisation at 63–65% vs 70– 72% target, operating leverage remains significan
We believe Rolex Rings is well positioned to emerge as a leading Indian precision auto-component exporter, supported by strong customer relationships, integrated manufacturing capabilities, value-added product mix and China+1 opportunities.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting

* The management expects auto components to constitute 65-70% of FY27 revenue, with more than 75% of auto-component revenue coming from exports
