rolex rings have they expanded capacity of late
Yes. Rolex Rings has expanded capacity in the last 2–3 years, both on the manufacturing and energy side.
1. Core manufacturing capacity (forging & machining)
- At IPO time (FY21), installed forging capacity was about 1,44,750 MTPA and machining capacity 69 million parts per annum. (economictimes.indiatimes.com)
- As per the FY24–25 Annual Report, current installed capacity is about 1,65,000 MTPA of forgings and “more than 75 million parts per annum” machining capacity—roughly a 10–15% increase in both. (scribd.com)
- The same report mentions a new forging press from Kurimoto (Japan) with an annual capacity of 4,800 MT, which is part of this recent capacity addition. (scribd.com)
- Despite the higher installed capacity, management commentary around Q1 FY26 indicates overall capacity utilisation at ~62–64%, with some product lines up to ~85%, and selective capacity additions where demand is strong rather than a big greenfield expansion. (scanx.trade)
2. Power / renewable capacity (indirect capacity support)
- Historically, the company had 8.75 MW of wind power and began adding solar capacity. (economictimes.indiatimes.com)
- Chairman’s communication and FY25 disclosures show:
- 4 MW ground-mounted solar became operational in FY 2022–23.
- An additional 11.5 MW ground-mounted solar was installed in Feb 2024, taking total renewable energy capacity to around 26 MW and leading to significant power cost savings in FY25. (capitalmarket.com)
- A further 9 MW solar project is underway, expected to be commissioned by Dec 2025; management expects about 17 million units per year from this plant and additional power-cost savings. (prysm.fi)
3. Capex guidance going forward
- Management commentary for FY26 indicates annual capex of ₹30–35 crore, and broader plans (2024–2026) for incremental forging and machining capacity plus debottlenecking, not a one-shot large greenfield project. (scanx.trade)
In summary:
- Yes, they have expanded capacity “of late”—forging capacity is now about 1,65,000 MTPA (vs ~1,44,750 earlier), machining capacity is >75 million parts p.a., and there has been a major ramp-up in in-house solar power to support operations and margins.
- Near-term growth is likely to be driven more by higher utilisation of this expanded capacity and selective line additions, rather than another big step-up in installed capacity.
