"We will be increasing our capacity in the heavy engineering division and will expand our electrode division with the funds received," Chief Financial Officer Abhishek Mehta told NDTV Profit. The expansion is set to begin soon, he said. The company's topline is expected to be in double digits in the next two to three years.

Speaking of their plans on international expansion, Prashant Garg, chief managing director of the company, said that they are already present or looking to expand into countries whose markets possess a prominent steel and cement sector presence, like Turkey, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines, due to the company's strong credentials and track record in the above sectors.

Indian customers have taught us to develop novel solutions as they demand the maximum out of an asset-- they want to squeeze the maximum out of their installed base to maximise asset utilisation. That has helped us develop new products which can be replicated in these geographies.
Prashant Garg, CMD, Diffusion Engineers
