The company's Chairman and Managing Director Aditya Jajodia sees peak revenue to reach around Rs 9,000-10,000 crore.
Shares of Jai Balaji Industries Ltd. have surged over 13 times this year after the company enhanced operational efficiency.

The steel manufacturer's turnaround commenced after the financial restructuring that took place with the banks, he told NDTV Profit on The Multibagger Show
"Because of the past ethical conduct with the stakeholders, we got a lot of support from stakeholders and banks as well. The turnaround started in the year 2019."

The mix between government and private customers is 50–50%, Jajodia said. "The margins between the two do not differ much."
