The buzzing stock name is Affordable Robotic & Automation Ltd.
Affordable Robotic and Automation Limited (ARAPL), India’s first listed robotics company, announced its strongest order position to date, with its confirmed Order Book exceeding Rs 140 crore as of November 25, 2025—a significant increase from Rs 120 crore at the end of November 2024. These substantial orders are slated for delivery before March 2026 and come from a diverse base of marquee clients, including repeat customers like Bajaj, the Mahindra & Mahindra Group, other Tier-1 automotive OEMs, and Real Estate developers such as Rustomjee. The fact that 80 per cent of these orders are from repeat customers underscores the company's execution strength and scalable manufacturing capabilities. Having executed Rs 42.60 crore worth of orders during the first half of FY26, ARAPL expects this strong backlog and consistent execution to sustain its growth trajectory, deliver improved margins, and provide a robust order pipeline supporting project continuity into and beyond the next financial year.
Further strengthening its market position, ARAPL's strategic expansion into the US through its HUMRO brand, launched last year, is enhancing its international order book. This expansion highlights the growing global acceptance of Indian-built automation solutions. The Humro robotics division is beginning to convert its order pipeline as Proof-of-Concept deployments in the US are completed. Notably, the division has secured orders for 8 robots under the high-visibility RaaS (Robotics-as-a-Service) model, valued at Rs 7.30 crore, which is expected to yield an attractive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of approximately 65 per cent. While RaaS remains an emerging segment, the rising volume of inquiries, particularly from US technology integrators, is substantially strengthening ARAPL’s forward order visibility for continued international growth.
