Key themes
Order inflow targets and margin sustainability
How the narrative shifted
- Selective bidding and margin protection: Management prioritises projects with restricted eligibility and low competitive intensity (4–6 bidders vs 12–15 in highways) to protect ~17% EBITDA margins.
- Working capital and receivable cycle normalisation: Elevated receivables and inventory reflect project completion milestones and advance raw material hedging, with cash release expected as final bills close.
- Focus on institutional and sports infrastructure: The company is actively leveraging references in education (IITs/IIMs/Universities) and building pre-qualifications in sports infrastructure to target larger EPC contracts.
Operational commentary
- Structure work for the Central University of Punjab at Bathinda project completed within time; served as the largest contributor to Q1 revenue.
- Jhajjar International Cricket Stadium project (₹222.2 Cr order) started scaling up from March 2026 after initial statutory approval delays, with basement raft completed before monsoon; generated ₹30–₹35 Cr cumulative revenue to date and slated for completion in 15 months.
- Active bids placed across 4 tenders worth ~₹800 Cr, including educational/institutional projects in Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Visakhapatnam, and Nagpur.
- Selective bidding strategy maintained with focus on Central Government and well-funded institutional projects to avoid overcrowded tenders and sustain ~17% EBITDA margin.
- Trade receivables elevated due to reconciliation of final/pre-final bills on completed projects (NBCC Aligarh, TCIL); Aligarh billing expected to close by Sep 15, 2026, and TCIL by Sep 30, 2026.
Analyst Q&A
Q. What drove the sharp working capital and inventory increase (~₹162 Cr), and is this trend expected to continue?
EPC requires significant upfront working capital; inventory rose because raw materials like tiles and metals were procured in bulk during Feb–Mar to hedge against price escalation. Receivables rose due to final billings on three completed projects, which take time to reconcile.
Q. What is the targeted revenue and execution run-rate for FY27?
Management expects 10–15% growth from existing order book alone, targeting total FY27 execution between ₹300 Cr and ₹350 Cr, supported by monthly run-rate of ₹30–₹40 Cr.
Q. What is the company's approach to mobilization advances and project funding?
Mobilization advance of up to 10% is available against bank guarantees on almost all projects, but the company has chosen not to draw interest-bearing advances (including on Bathinda and IIT Delhi) given sufficient internal liquidity.
