₹13 to ₹765: Multibagger Stock Turns ₹1 Lakh Into ₹59 Lakhs in 5 Years

Synopsis: A specialty glass maker that crossed the ₹400 crore revenue milestone in FY26 has delivered multi-bagger returns – but UAE concentration and rising debt deserve a closer look.

From near-irrelevance to one of the stock market’s biggest wealth creators, this Mumbai-headquartered architectural glass company has quietly built a cross-border business spanning India and the UAE. With a tripling of profits in a single year and fresh manufacturing capacity coming online, the company is now at an inflection point – but the road ahead carries its share of complexity.

Shares of Sejal Glass Limited, which has a market capitalization of ₹864 crore, closed at ₹765, down nearly 26.3% from its all-time high of ₹1,038. The stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 30.1. 

Since its listing on the NSE on December 13, 2021, at around ₹13 per share, the stock has delivered multibagger returns of nearly 5,900%, turning an investment of ₹1 lakh into approximately ₹59 lakh. From its listing price to its all-time high of ₹1,038, the stock generated an exceptional return of around 7,884%, which would have transformed ₹1 lakh into nearly ₹79 lakh. 

A Year That Changed the Scale

Sejal Glass Limited posted consolidated total income of ₹401.36 crore in FY26, up 64% from ₹244.95 crore a year earlier, crossing the ₹400 crore mark for the first time. EBITDA came in at ₹66.32 crore, up 88% year-on-year, with the margin expanding from 14.4% to 16.5%. The biggest headline, however, was profit. Consolidated PAT stood at ₹29.03 crore in FY26, a 160% jump from the previous year. In Q4 FY26 alone, the company reported total income of ₹116.85 crore (up 72% YoY) and PAT of ₹11.42 crore, a 200% year-on-year jump, with an EBITDA margin at 17.5%.

These are not just one-quarter numbers. The five-year compounded sales growth rate stands at 109%, and the five-year compounded profit growth rate at 40%, reflecting a structural shift in the business, not a seasonal spike.

The UAE Business: Scale With a Caveat

A significant chunk of Sejal Glass’s revenue – currently over 70% – comes from its UAE subsidiary, where it supplies insulated glass (IG) and laminated glass to large developers and façade contractors. The UAE order book stands at approximately AED 60 million, and management expects Q1 FY27 UAE revenue of around AED 31 million.

That said, management has itself flagged a “little bit of slowdown in real estate” in the UAE and acknowledged that geopolitical supply chain disruptions could weigh on margins. The company estimates a possible 1 to 1.5 percentage point EBITDA margin impact in the near term. Planned UAE capacity expansion, with machines already ordered, has been delayed by one quarter due to global logistics issues and is now expected to come online in Q2 or Q3 FY27.

To address the concentration risk, management is actively pushing into African markets and other geographies and has set a target to move from the current roughly 70:30 UAE-to-India split to 60:40 in FY27 and eventually 50:50.

India Operations: The Growth Engine in the Making

The India business runs across three units – Silvassa (the original plant), and the newly acquired Glasstech facilities at Taloja and Erode. The Silvassa plant is operating at solid utilisation levels, with tempering capacity at 64% and lamination at 87%. Glasstech, which was acquired during FY25 and operated for only nine to ten months in FY26, weighed on India’s margins last year due to integration costs and sub-scale volumes.

Management says Glasstech turned EBITDA breakeven in the last month of FY26 and expects it to contribute positively through FY27. India’s business is expected to grow 20% in the current quarter. Combined India revenue for FY27 is projected at roughly ₹200 crore (Silvassa at ₹90 crore and Glasstech at ₹110 crore), out of a consolidated target exceeding ₹500 crore.

New product lines add another layer of growth optionality. Fire-rated glass, developed through a technology tie-up with a Spanish partner, is expected to launch by Q3 FY27. Digital and decorative glass, along with railway glazing for Vande Bharat coaches, are also planned. New products are expected to contribute 5 to 7% of consolidated revenue in FY27 and potentially 15 to 20% in FY28.

Shareholding and Financials: What the Numbers Tell Us

Promoter holding stands at 69.96% as of March 2026, down from 75% in earlier quarters following a preferential allotment. DII holding has climbed from near-zero to 4.44%, signalling growing institutional interest.

On the balance sheet, total borrowings on a consolidated basis stand at approximately ₹138 crore. Of this, around ₹70 crore is from the promoter group, with repayments already underway. The company has no current tax liability in India and expects none for FY27 either, due to carried-forward losses from earlier years – a meaningful tailwind to reported profit. The stock has delivered a 5-year price CAGR of 188% and has generated over 7,000% returns since listing.

Risks Worth Watching

Concentration in UAE real estate is the most immediate risk. A deeper demand slowdown or client-side delays could squeeze both revenue and margins. Float glass prices have risen 7 to 8% due to energy surcharges, and while the company passes through 80 to 90% of incremental costs, the remainder lands on margins. The Glasstech integration is still a work in progress, with Erode at only 13% tempering utilisation. At a P/E of 30 and a PEG of 0.62, valuation looks reasonable relative to growth, but execution risk is real – the FY27 guidance of 25 to 40% revenue growth requires both UAE stability and India ramp-up to proceed in parallel.
