ARAPL Reports Steady FY25 Revenue, Margin Resilience

29 May 2025 CW Team

Affordable Robotic and Automation Ltd (ARAPL) posted a seven per cent year-on-year rise in standalone revenue to Rs 1.61 billion for FY25. EBITDA grew by 12 per cent to Rs 144 million, supported by operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. However, Profit After Tax declined marginally to Rs 59.86 million due to elevated finance costs linked to capacity investments.

The order book stood at approximately Rs 800 million as of 27 May, with an additional Rs 200 million in advanced discussion. The company remains optimistic about growth across automation, warehousing, and robotics verticals.

On the consolidated front, total revenue remained stable at Rs 1.63 billion, while a loss of Rs 116.49 million was recorded. This was driven by ARAPL RaaS Private Ltd’s planned investment in the United States market, where 15 robots have been shipped and another 15 are scheduled for dispatch.

Production capacity is now scaled for three hundred robots annually. ARAPL is targeting European market entry post certification in December, following milestone revenue achievements in the US.
