With over two decades of experience and more than 150 completed projects, the company has delivered landmark façades for iconic buildings such as The Capital, Kohinoor Square, Bagmane Rio, and Lodha World One. Internationally, it has supplied to marquee projects like Jackson Avenue, Harper Court, and Spark GTIC in the US, and Project Dove in Australia.

Global Play: Export-Led Growth

Exports have emerged as a major growth driver. Overseas revenue surged from just INR 15.7 crore in FY23 to INR 114.7 crore in FY25 – a staggering CAGR of 170%.

Through partnerships with RWW (US) and SRG Global (Australia), Glass Wall has established itself as the only Indian façade company with a strong foothold in both markets. Export projects offer higher realizations per square foot compared to domestic EPC work, driving profitability.

Manufacturing & Capacity Expansion

The company’s manufacturing backbone is its Vile Bhagad Facility in Maharashtra, spread over 1,01,000 sqm, with an installed capacity of 1,60,000 sqm of unitized panels annually.

  • FY23 utilization: 78%
  • FY24 utilization: 75%
  • FY25 utilization: 54% (due to project mix and scheduling)

To strengthen backward integration and reduce third-party dependence, Glass Wall is investing INR 50 crore from IPO proceeds in a glass processing unit at the same facility.

Clientele & Execution Track Record

  • Domestic marquee clients: Lodha, Embassy, Bagmane, Prestige, K Raheja.
  • International clients: RWW, Winpro (US), SRG Global (Australia).
  • Track record: 22 projects completed in the last three fiscals; 17 ongoing projects as of DRHP filing.
  • Repeat engagements and long-term partnerships (7–11 years with some developers) reflect brand trust and execution capability.

Industry Outlook

  • Indian façade market: Doubled from INR 3,730 crore (FY20) to INR 7,310 crore (FY25), expected to hit INR 13,600 crore by FY30 (CAGR 13.2%).
  • Global façade market: USD 22.4 billion in 2024, forecast at USD 32 billion by 2030.
  • Luxury fenestration in India: Grew from INR 260 crore in FY20 to INR 770 crore in FY25 (CAGR 30.7%), driven by HNI demand.

India’s “China+1” positioning, low-cost skilled workforce, and strong raw material availability make it a competitive hub for global façade exports.

Strategic Strengths

  • Market leadership: #2 in India, #1 exporter.
  • Diversified business model (domestic EPC + exports + fenestration).
  • Strong order book: INR 422.0 crore domestic, INR 135.5 crore international, INR 67.3 crore fenestration (as of Aug 2025).
  • Sustainability-focused operations (solar panels, zero-waste program, carbon-neutral materials).
  • Promoter experience: 39 years (Chairman Jawahar Hemrajani) and 11 years (MD Eshan Hemrajani).

Outlook
