Salzer Electronics has pushed the start of its Saudi Arabia plant from June 26 to April 27, citing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The plant belongs to Salzer Electronics Arabia Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Indian electrical products maker.

It was due to begin commercial operations in June 2026. In plain terms, regular production and sales will now start about 10 months later than planned.

Work at the site is on hold until conditions in the region settle. The plant was meant to let Salzer make products closer to its overseas customers and lift its export share.

That boost now has to wait beyond the original 2026 target.

In May, sources reported the company was putting Rs 15 crore into the first phase and aiming for Rs 100 crore of revenue from Gulf markets.

The same report said management then expected the plant to start in September or October 2026, so the date has now moved again.

Business at home, meanwhile, is growing fast. The company sells switchgear, wires and building products there.

In the September quarter, consolidated revenue rose 38.4% from a year earlier to Rs 579.77 crore.

A year earlier, the figure was about Rs 419 crore. Its EBITDA, a common measure of operating profit, came in at Rs 39.95 crore.

For the full year, management had guided for revenue of Rs 2,000 crore to Rs 2,100 crore and an EBITDA margin of 9% to 9.5%.

The margin shows how much of each rupee of sales turns into operating profit.

The June quarter told a different story on profit. Adjusted net profit fell 53.47% from a year earlier to Rs 8.04 crore.

April 2027 is now the target date for the plant to start production.
