Pune: Affordable Robotic and Automation Limited (ARAPL) (BSE: 541402 | NSE: AFFORDABLE), India’s first listed robotics company, today announced its strongest order position to date, with the confirmed order book exceeding ₹140 crore as of 25 November 2025, compared with ₹120 crore at the end of November 2024. Current orders come from marquee clients including Bajaj, the Mahindra & Mahindra Group, and other Tier-1 OEMs in the automobile sector, as well as real estate customers such as Rustomjee, Sankrit, and Avni. Notably, 80% of these orders are from repeat customers and are slated for delivery before March 2026. The company also noted a robust order pipeline, expected to convert over the coming months.
During the first half of FY26, ARAPL executed ₹42.60 crore of orders, underscoring its execution strength and scalable manufacturing capabilities. Commenting on the development, Mr. Milind Padolee, Chairman, ARAPL, said:
“Crossing the ₹140-crore mark is a defining milestone for ARAPL. It reflects both the growing maturity of our business and the accelerating demand for automation. With India advancing toward smart manufacturing and urban mobility solutions—and with the US opening a new pathway for scale—ARAPL is well-positioned to deliver on its long-term growth ambitions.”
With a strong backlog and consistent execution progress, ARAPL expects to sustain its growth trajectory and deliver improved margins over previous years. The robust pipeline is also expected to provide a strong start to the next financial year and support project continuity beyond FY26.
Strengthening Presence in the US Market
ARAPL’s strategic expansion into the US through its brand HUMRO, launched last year, continues to reinforce its international order book. Recent US orders highlight the increasing acceptance of Indian-built automation solutions in advanced markets, particularly as global supply chains diversify.
Humro Division Enhances Forward Visibility
ARAPL’s Humro robotics division has commenced order bookings as its Proof-of-Concept deployments—supported by robots already shipped to the US—reach completion. The division has secured orders for 8 robots under the RaaS (Robotics-as-a-Service) model, valued at ₹7.3 crore, with an expected IRR of approximately 65%. While still an emerging segment, rising inquiries—especially from US technology integrators—are further strengthening ARAPL’s forward order visibility.
