APHMEL Turns Near Closure Into Record Profits
APHMEL is a machinery company based in Kondapalli near Vijayawada.
It once lost a lot of money and was nearly closed.
Singareni began supporting it by placing orders and later taking control.
The company is now making profits instead of losses.
Its profit grew each year from 2023–24 to 2025–26.
It is also selling machinery and parts to more organisations across India.
The state government asked it to expand and find new markets.
A solar plant is being built to lower its electricity bills.
APHMEL accumulated losses of about ₹21 crore before its turnaround under Singareni management.
Singareni invested ₹14.08 crore and acquired an 81.54% majority stake in APHMEL.
APHMEL reported profits of ₹1.05 crore in 2023–24, ₹9.87 crore in 2024–25 and ₹23.33 crore in 2025–26.
The company expanded beyond Singareni to supply BHEL, TGGenco, NMDC and RINL.
A 300-kW solar plant is expected to save about ₹2 lakh monthly in electricity costs.
