Rushil Decor Shares In Focus On Aiming Strong Growth In FY26; Makes Strategic Entry Into The Plywood Segment

On Friday, shares of interior infrastructure company Rushil Decor Ltd surged around 4 per cent to an intraday high of Rs 34.43 per share from its previous closing of Rs 32.93 per share. The stock's 52-week high is Rs 45.45 and its 52-week low is Rs 28.50. The company has a market cap of over Rs 945 crore with multibagger returns of over 238 per cent in 5 years.

With a focus on the strategic launch of its Jumbo Laminate Project and its entry into the plywood industry, Rushil Decor Limited announces a very optimistic forecast for FY26. The company's dedication to expanding its product line and investigating development prospects in new market niches is demonstrated by these initiatives.

A key project that will allow Rushil Decor to meet the rising demand for thicker-format decorative laminates is the Jumbo Laminate Project in Gandhinagar. The Gandhinagar plant is presently on schedule to start operations by Q4 FY2025, despite brief delays in the project caused by supply chain issues and bad weather. The company's position in the growing jumbo laminate industry would be strengthened by this plant, which is expected to manufacture 2.8 million sheets yearly. Based on conservative estimates, the Jumbo Laminate Plant will generate between Rs 60 and 80 crore in its first full year of operation, with an EBITDA margin of 14% to 16%. An equity IRR of 14% to 16% and an IRR of 10% to 12% are projected for the project.

The main target markets for the jumbo-sized laminates are exporters, particularly those in the USA and Europe. The company has already begun establishing sales and marketing networks in order to guarantee that this new product has an initial footing. This involves hiring employees and distributors to promote market penetration in the USA and Europe. Rushil Decor should be able to meet the growing market demand for jumbo laminate forms thanks to this strategic endeavour.

As part of its effort to diversify its product line, Rushil Decor's entry into the plywood market seems reasonable.

Despite a few small setbacks, this joint venture is anticipated to make Rs 12-14 crore in its first year and Rs 45-50 crore in the following years. Estimated EBITDA margins range from 9% to 11%. Offering distributors a full array of wood panel products will allow for cross-selling opportunities across the product line, while the plywood growth will only concentrate on the Indian market.

Commenting on the outlook, Managing Director Rushil Thakkar said: "With strategic expansions, the Jumbo Laminate Project's imminent launch and growing international demand, Rushil Decor is positioned to deliver sustained growth and value creation in FY2026. Our focus on market-driven initiatives, expanding capacity and fostering long-term sustainability remains at the core of our mission. The company's commitment to excellence in product quality, market expansion and sustainable growth serves as the foundation for its long-term commitment to stakeholders as it pursues new growth prospects in the dynamic MDF, Laminates and Plywood markets."
