Dhoot Transmission has expanded globally through a series of acquisitions TFC Cables in Scotland (2017), Parkinson Harness in the UK (2018), and San Electromec (2019) and runs a UK-based engineering office set up in 2012. The company employs over 12,000 people and reported consolidated revenue of Rs 2,653 crore in FY24, up from Rs 1,550 crore in FY22. International operations account for 15-20% of total revenue. Net worth stood at Rs 598 crore as of March 2024, with an interest coverage ratio of 9.3 times.
