From the management side today we have with us Mr Pradeep Gorjee, who is the Chairman and Managing Director; Mr Sanjeep, Director of Finance and CFO; and Mr N.P. Singhy, who is the Director of Operations.

So as usual, we will have maybe a brief from the management and then we’ll have lines open for Q&A. Yeah, thank you and over to you, sir.

Pradeep GaurChairman and Managing Director

Yeah, actually what we’ll do, because the time is short, why don’t we go-ahead and take more-and-more questions? Will it be — I think that will be preferable?

Vishal PeriwalAnalyst

Yeah. Sure, sir. Sure.

Questions and Answers:

Operator

Sure. We’ll now begin with the question-and-answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask questions may press star and 1 on the touchstone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking questions.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles, to ask questions, please press star and one. The first question is from Rajesh Agarwal from Money. Please go-ahead.

Rajesh Agarwal

Sir, my question is on the guidance of INR21,000 crore. Now in the nine months, we have done INR13,000 crore, so we can do INR8,000 crore in the last quarter itself? This is my first question. And second, sir, the profits from JV, which has come at INR56 crores this quarter, is that sustainable and bidding intensity pipeline? Three questions.

Pradeep Gaur

So as far as turnover is concerned, definitely INR8,000 crores in last quarter is absolutely achievable because that is where the maximum turnover we get it historically also.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So I think we are quite confident we are in-line with that.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

And regarding this JV, INR56 crores, and what is this INR56 crore JV?

Sanjeeb Kumar

So this is — just margin profit from this profit from JV.

Pradeep Gaur

See, this is not only sustainable, this is going to in fact improve substantially because in this — this one, we are showing minus INR76 crores under KyNet. This is our joint-venture for manufacturing,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So here the revenue stream is going to start maybe after a year or so. This is a notional negative because manufacturing is still to start and we have invested a lot of money, right. So this is going to get return. So not only it will be sustained — it will sustain, but I think we’ll get to see much-improved figures in this case.

Rajesh Agarwal

So any contently what can be the figure, sir for JV from associates next year?

Pradeep Gaur

And kindly repeatly

Rajesh Agarwal

Next year, next year ’26, 25 profits from a JV in a yearly basis, how much it can be?

Pradeep Gaur

We’ll assess and give it because it will be difficult because this if suppose this JV minus INR76 was not there, the profit itself should have been almost INR130 crores.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. Understood. So immediately, when the revenue starts, it will come into profit with JV?

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely because that is the way it has been planned.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

I will give you some figures of this one that our manufacturing cost, what we have bid for this is INR120 crores per train set. Set of course, then there’ll be a price variation clause to it, okay. I don’t know, it may come to maybe 2%, 3% further, okay, or even 4%. And manufacturing cost as of by integral core factory is in some in 90s crore.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So definitely it’s a profitable asset. And then the — when the production unit of railways can do it at that cost, definitely in a — in a joint-venture with Russians and with a much-improved working — working, it will improve.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. And sir, now I’m talking about, 26 27 turnover where the base will be INR21,000 crore from that we will increase by how much next year revenue, overall revenue?

Pradeep Gaur

Okay. So let me be slightly be a bit upfront on this. We are undergoing a transition,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

As you are aware, we were — we were an organization which was confined to doing works exclusively assigned to us by Ministry of Railways,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

And that assignment pipeline has stopped,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

But we have navigated it through very — I mean ,. And now I’ll be happy to share with you that our — out of our today’s order book of around INR97,000 crores, we have gone — it is INR49,000 crores from the bidding works and INR47,000 from the 47,000 something from the railway works, okay. So this is a transition we are undergoing. When this — when this assignment works for stop, our value of order book from railways was almost INR140,000 crores.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So INR1,40,000 crores, sorry.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So this is some sort of this thing. So turnover either will maintain, maybe it may dip slightly, but we are on a very sound trajectory now because we have got enough orders from the market by bidding. So I will not say this will be the base, but we will not be too much off the mark.

Rajesh Agarwal

Any time-frame INR95,000 order book has to be over two years or three years. Any time-frame on that?

Pradeep Gaur

Yes. Typically this is this is around INR97,000 crores. So normal gestation period for all the projects is three to four years.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So I think — and plus orders will go on adding,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay,

Pradeep Gaur

Because even they see even this year, as of now, we have got orders of almost INR25,000 crores, exclusively this year itself.

Rajesh Agarwal

Understood. But the orders good margin, sir, margin will be maintained?

Pradeep Gaur

The margins are — I mean, the price is decided by the market, but because we will of course like to have more-and-more margins,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

But this organization, which has been — which has been one of the outlier in project execution with the kind of efficiency and all that.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

Definitely we — our margins will not take any beating from whatever we were getting from a sign and maybe in few cases will be even better than that.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay, understood, sir. So this can do INR30,000 crores. If we have to do over 3, 3.5 years, the average run-rate should be INR28,000 to INR29,000 crore yearly.

Pradeep Gaur

Think that’s a realistic figure. That’s realistic.

Rajesh Agarwal

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Pradeep Gaur

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. Participants who wish to ask questions, please press star and one ladies and gentlemen, to ask questions please press star and 1. The next question is from Pranav Furya from Antique Stock Broking. Please go-ahead.

Pranav Furia

Yeah, good evening, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, my question is, is there any update on the one day quarter? When will we start executing change in configuration of the train from 16 coaches to 24 coaches. This decision was taken somewhere in June or July June or July of 2024. So which led to change in design and all those things. This has has sort of put back the whole — this initiative by around eight to nine months.

Pradeep Gaur

And railways have also given a currency extension for that. So the first prototype, which was supposed to be in September, October 2025 will now take place somewhere in the first-half of the next year. Otherwise, everything is over — everything is in very proper shape. The factory is completely ready to manufacture.

And now Ministry has told that please go back to the original. And so that gives us another comfort that for whatever we were planning, so we are going ahead with that. So most probably maybe first-half of ’26, the first prototype will be ready for the trials.

Pranav Furia

Yes, sir. And the INR97,000 odd crore order book that you mentioned. So we’ve included the order yet or it yet to be included in the order book?

Pradeep Gaur

This is excluding Bhara, this is excluding Manjay Bhara, because we are not taking it in that sense because it is not it will start generating revenue after maybe a year or so. So we are keeping it slightly as far as our calculation is concerned, we are not adding it for the time.

Pranav Furia

So what would be the broad order value-based on the foreign currency

Pradeep Gaur

Sorry slightly, if you may kindly speak slightly

Pranav Furia

Is it better now?

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, please, please

Pranav Furia

Yeah, sir, I was asking what would be the broad order value-based on the current exchange

Sanjeeb Kumar

It is in rupees.

Pradeep Gaur

It is in rupees only. The contract is in rupees. The total contract is around INR30,000 crores, out of which our share is 25%, which comes to around 64,500 crores. I think it will come to around —

Sanjeeb Kumar

Total is including the maintenance of 35 years.

Pradeep Gaur

Okay. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Let me let me correct myself that total order is 120

Sanjeeb Kumar

12 another 14,400 is a good price and another 30,000 is for the 35 years

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, that total order is no, it is all right. Total order is around INR32,000 crores and in 2.25 will become 348. So around — it is around INR8,000 to INR9,000 crores and — but of course there is a price variation to it, so some percentage may go up this.

Pranav Furia

Okay, sir. That was very helpful. That’s it from my side.

Pradeep Gaur

Anyhow, it is not part of this INR97,000 crores what I have shared. This is beyond that.

Pranav Furia

Okay, okay, sir. Thank you. Got it.

Operator

Thank you. Before we take the next question, a reminder to participants that you may press star and one to join the question queue. Ladies and gentlemen, to ask a question, please press star and 1. Next question is from Vivek Nayak, who is an individual investor. Please go-ahead.

Vivek Nayak

Yeah. Sir, you said that am I audible?

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, yeah, please. If you can be a bit louder, bit louder.

Vivek Nayak

Okay, it’s better now?

Pradeep Gaur

Okay, please go-ahead.

Vivek Nayak

Sir, you said that the decommit from the railways with respect to old legacy projects. But your Director of Finance yesterday on CNBC said that there is INR40,000 crores of legacy orders. So just can you clarify what is this all about?

Pradeep Gaur

Yes, because out of this INR97,000 crores orders what we have told, okay. And the railway orders are around INR47,600 crores. Thank you. So these are the orders — these are the balance works what we have on-hand of the projects which were assigned to us by Ministry of Rail

Vivek Nayak

Okay are you saying going-forward we will not get any such orders?

Pradeep Gaur

No policies may change, but as of now, this is a policy because we have seen a lot of policies changing I mean government it is up to the government how it sees it, because this organization was established exclusively for executing the railway projects assigned to it by ministry. In fact, there was a time when we wanted to venture out for something else also beyond railways. So we were told nothing doing, you have to confine two railway projects. So that was a policy ones.

Now policy is you please go to the market and get the works. Now depending on how the capex is spent by Journal Railways, how it is performed, government is, is I mean free-to take decisions we there is quite possible. They may go back to it or the other possibility of existing policy continues. So everything is on the table. Nothing can be said for I’m sure.

Vivek Nayak

Okay. And sir, any color on the international projects? I think there was some — apart from railways, there was something in Kazakhstan and other countries. So can you give us an update on that

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, my colleague Mr MT Singh will speak on this.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

Yeah, good evening. We have got already some foreign projects which we are already got through bidding or through MOU. So some of them are solar projects in Ujbekistan and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and we’ve got a project in also that is a transmission line project. And we are actively bidding — bidded for the railway and metro projects in Turkey and simultaneously, we are exploring options for railway projects in Peru through government-to-government contracting also.

Vivek Nayak

Okay.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

And already one international project is the execution in, that is a harbor project.

Vivek Nayak

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

I will add to what Mr MK Singh is telling. See, we are very, very keen to have a lot of our footprint in international market because that is complete — that is absolutely important and necessary for the organization to go on even a exponential growth trajectory. And so we are trying our best. We kindly appreciate that we have started bidding in just last two to three years. So domestic was easy to get. International and I’m not saying it is difficult, but we were less — we were less exposed to that.

Now we are getting into a lot of partnerships, lot of this thing, whatever projects we have taken like solar and all, we have entered into partnership. So we are finding our feet there and definitely this is one of the important areas for us to spread-out.

Vivek Nayak

Yes. Thank you, sir. I am an investor right from the IPO days and I’ll continue to hold the shares

Pradeep Gaur

Hi, thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. Participants who wish to ask questions, please press star and one the next question is from Rajesh Agarwal from Manior. Please go-ahead please go-ahead

Rajesh Agarwal

Hello, sir, continue. Can I ask the question?

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, please, please. Please,

Rajesh Agarwal

Sir, how has been the cash-flow? Do we need working capital? How is the working capital situation now? And what is the working capital days number of days now

Pradeep Gaur

Would you like to answer.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

Working capital is not an issue at the moment. We have the surplus is surplus with which we finance and plus in many of the projects acquired through beginning, there is a mobilization advanced without which is used for working capital,

Vivek Nayak

Okay.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

And yeah, we have sufficient reserves to that. So that is not an issue at the moment,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. So we don’t have to borrow, no interest cost will come for that. No. No.

Pradeep Gaur

No interest. And I’ll just add to what Director of Finance has spoken that even when we take mobilization advance based on the bank guarantees. So our finance team has done an excellent work and we are getting it extremely — I mean extremely competitive. I think it is just 0.1% is the premium what we pay,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

As compared to many of the organization paying even 2% to 3%. So credibility and credit worthiness of is quite high with almost all the things. So that is another happy situation. The — and the capital — I mean, the money gets saved on even these type of expenditures.

Rajesh Agarwal

And sir, for the in it JV, you said we’ll make a margin of INR30 crores per train rate per coach on one day train?

Pradeep Gaur

No. Yeah, what I’m trying to say that our court is INR120 crores. Presently it is getting manufactured in ICF in 90s of crores. It can be INR92, it can be INR97, I’m not sure.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So as of now, it is quite all right.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. So our share will be 25% of that, our shares because we have 25% in the JV.

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, our share is 25%.

Rajesh Agarwal

So our profit maybe around INR7 to INR8 crores per year.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

Yes, if Russian share with us,

Rajesh Agarwal

Right. And 120 and we have to make 120 now on

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

126.

Pradeep Gaur

126 we have to make

Rajesh Agarwal

126 crores. And you have seen INR30 crores per INR90 crores per set, INR130 crores per se.

Pradeep Gaur

I did not say INR90 exactly. I said it is in 90.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay, understood, sir. And sir, when will the Bharat — Bharat — Bharat network order which we got when the execution will begin?

Pradeep Gaur

Okay. And, we have recently got letter of acceptance okay so that is value is around INR13,200 crores,

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So now things we will maybe — I mean, we have already deposited performance security and all those things. And all the groundwork has been done.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So again, that is again a new area which I mean which we have put our this thing. We have traded on a slightly — slightly known territory, not fully because we have been doing lot of communication work even in railways, but not to this extent.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. This is also in JV enough. What is our share in the JV?

Pradeep Gaur

This we are 100%. This is — this is only by RBNL. We are 100%.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

And again, as Director Finance mentioned in this thing, I think in the previous question of this one. This again provides a mobilization advance of almost INR1,000 crores, okay, free of interest.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

So even the — even the capital availability will be quite good. So we have to — and we are making a SPV exclusively for this 100% owned buyers, which will be executing this project so that we will have — will fireball this balance sheet with Arvinel’s balance sheet and all that, so that accountability and all these things will do. So we are quite excited about this and we are looking at it as a — not only as a big venture, it is almost INR13,000 crores, which is expected to go to even INR17,000 crore INR18,000 crores.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Pradeep Gaur

But it opens up a huge vista of opportunities for us in telecom sector, which is a very, very sort of sunrise sector for the country.

Rajesh Agarwal

It’s a good margin order, sir. Our margins are good in this.

Pradeep Gaur

Yes, yes. It’s a — of course, the market — bidding was competitive, but we have done our calculations well. And even when BSNL wanted to do negotiations, we have struck to our figure and so we have not made any compromise on that.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay. And sir, any — let us update on the from what we have formed a company in is from Railway. Any update on that

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

We have found a joint-venture company that is the industry.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay,

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

We are even that project that government of Kyrkyzstan is signing-up for the financials for that project.

Rajesh Agarwal

Okay.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

We have already submitted the DPR for that project and based on their evolution, there were certain issues with the lending rate from the foreign bankers, so that government of is trying to resolve it and we hope to see if this project will see late soon.

Rajesh Agarwal

Thank you. Thank you, and.

Operator

Thank you. Next question is from Vishal Periwal from Antique Broking. Please go-ahead.

Vishal Periwal

Yes, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. Sir, the order book that we have INR97,000 odd crore. Can you give a breakup like how it is like. Railways out of this

Pradeep Gaur

Assigned projects of railways is around INR40 — is exactly INR47,600 612 crores and balance INR49,000 crores is in various sectors, starting from metros, national highways, even some projects we have taken from railways on bidding also and irrigation port and this includes all domestic as well as international.

Vishal Periwal

Okay. So between domestic and international, what could be the number of internationals maybe a ballpark number?

Pradeep Gaur

International as of now is around INR4,500 crores. So as As of now, it forms just almost 10%, but we are looking at it to go at least up to 40% to 50% in near-future.

Vishal Periwal

Okay, sir. Okay. And for this, you mentioned is one work that we are eyeing and then further there are a couple of Turkey Peru which congo transmit distribution. These are the further projects which can build-up the order book. Is that fair understanding?

Pradeep Gaur

Actually, we are looking — I mean, we are — this is one of our focus areas and wherever opportunity is coming, we are definitely putting all effort — all our effort towards it. So this will be one of the areas which we are looking at it very, very — I mean, strategically as well as commercial.

Vishal Periwal

Okay, sir. Okay. And you mentioned total inflow in this year is INR25,000 odd crores. So is this LOA plus L1 combined together it is NOA which is received?

Pradeep Gaur

And which one? Because this order? That is only by bidding one. LOA. Only. L1 and LO

Vishal Periwal

Okay. So 25,000 is the NOA that we have received for this year inflow.

Pradeep Gaur

Yes.

Vishal Periwal

Okay, okay. And then I think on this Bharat, you did mention like we are the lead member and there are some social members. So I mean the full work.

Pradeep Gaur

There is no consortium number. I said has is the I mean it is 100% I mean alloyed to RVNL only. There is no consortium.

Vishal Periwal

Okay, okay, maybe I think I saw that in the question.

Pradeep Gaur

We have just entered an MOU for supply of element, but they are not part of this bidding.

Vishal Periwal

Okay. Okay. Got it, sir. Got it. Got it.

Pradeep Gaur

And so that is a pre-bid arrangement with them, but the contract is to us, even whatever they are going to supply to us, are you still have a margin even on that?

Vishal Periwal

Okay, got it. Got it. And maybe aside from an industry perspective, can you give some color like we do bidding in railways and couple of others also metro, highway and other all. So where do you find the competitive intensity is higher? Where do you find, I mean, probably like there are way less players and like we have a niche in that. So any industry-specific color, if you can just provide maybe qualitative aspect will be helpful.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

Actually, I mean, competition is becoming not only, I should say more, it has gone to unhealthy levels. People are quoting very low but there are some projects like HAM projects, BOT projects these are the different where competition is still not that much as EPC and other contracts. So that is one area which we are looking at. And government has also, I mean, improved lot of conditions for BOT projects. So we have built two, three big value BOT. That is another area which we are looking at where the competition is less and the margins can be better. So that is one area. And second, which one you said?

Vishal Periwal

Metros.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

Metros, of course, metros is another area where we are getting — I mean we are performing also well and margins are also good.

Vishal Periwal

Okay. So you mentioned beauty. So beauty is which segment we are in BOT

Pradeep Gaur

Basically national highway projects in highway.

Vishal Periwal

Okay, okay. Okay. Maybe, sir, broadly, is this possible to say like no, because in BOT also, we have seen, I think there’s a lot of work that like government will be awarding work, but somehow it has been kind of delayed and post them. So anything on that is the DPR work or maybe like some bit of documentation that is still pending, that is delaying things or anything there is a delay which is there.

Pradeep Gaur

So at least two projects we have built recently, which is two projects of INR5,000 crores each. So I think things have started moving on that because this has come in last 1.5 months-to two months only. So I think things will move. In the coming year, I think we’ll see more-and-more because that is the preferred option for NHAI today because they have lot of depth on their books. So they are also going for more-and-more BOT projects.

I think their debt is almost in the range of INR3 lakh crores, INR3 lakh crores, the NHA.

Vishal Periwal

Okay. Okay. Maybe one last question from me. What could be our — I mean like the projects that where we have bidded and we are awaiting outcome, maybe a quantum if it is handy with you, sir.

Pradeep Gaur

But yeah, we have bid projects of around INR80,000 crores this year. We have got orders of INR23,000 crores. So maybe another 10,000 crore to INR20,000 crores will be their bidding, which we have — which we are awaiting the results of that. Maybe it will be in the range of around INR20,000 crores. Around INR20,000 crores is something which we are still awaiting the outcome of our bidding. For our strike rate, the strike rate generally has been varying from 30% to 40% in different sectors.

Like our electrical segment, the strike rate is almost 40% to 45%. Again, signaling telecom and all our strike rate is quite high. And in these EPC projects of civil infrastructure, our strike rate is varies from 25% to 30%. So as of now, INR28,000 crores is under evolution. Is something which we have bid and it is under evaluation?

Vishal Periwal

Okay. Okay, sure, sir. Maybe I’ll just ask one last thing. So in Bharat Net, when we have bidded sir what will be the number of players who have bidded for the Maharat Tech in according to you? Just to understand the competitive intensity, is it similar to what’s EPC highway or Indian railway work that we have or it’s little less.

Pradeep Gaur

I think I will just confirm my officer is there. He will come. I think mostly there were three to four years each bid. This is what I faintly remember, but I’ll confirm it to you.

Vishal Periwal

Okay. Sure, sir. Sure, sir, I think this is very helpful in answering, sir, all the questions, sir. Thank you and I’ll come back-in the queue.

Pradeep Gaur

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. Before we take the next question, a reminder to participants that you may press star and 1 to join the question queue. The next question is from Vivek Nayak, who is an individual investor. Please go-ahead.

Vivek Nayak

Yeah. Sir, any insight on the Mumbai Dubai corridor — train corridor? Corridor and also I think it’s linked to the India, India, Middle-East, Europe rail connectivity.

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

You are talking of India, Middle-East, Europe corridor

Vivek Nayak

Yes, yes,

Pradeep Gaur

Yes so that is still something in making. Let us see. I mean, it’s — it will open huge opportunities, of course, as and when it happens. But as of now, I think lot of geopolitical situation is — has to settle down before this takes some sort of some sort of right path but as and when it happens, it will because that is one area which organization like will have lot to I mean participate because it will be rail-based so and it will be I mean going long distances to Middle-East and right up to euro and that will open huge opportunities even Israel. Israel metro also is another area which the team had come and they were very positive about capability in metros.

So that is another area of opportunity we are looking at — they are talking of next maybe one to two years before they start. And Indian government is trying government to government arrangement so that Indian companies can go and do the job there. So let us see. Lot of things are there. Let us see how things go further.

Vivek Nayak

Sir, yeah, one more question is, I understand there has been execution delays for the past nine months and we hope to catch-up in Q4 of this year. So how confident is the management that we will catch the INR22,000 crores revenue, which was communicated in the past con-calls?

Pradeep Gaur

No, I’ll not say it is a delay in execution. I mean delay, yes, delay to the extent, see, monsoon is in-between and that takes three to four months. Then there are festival season comes and this time even elections were there which had taken because lot of labor movement take place that time. They go to their native places for vote and all this thing. And the way the present elections are held, people stay for almost month or so.

So a lot of this thing was there, but still there. But this is the last quarter Is something where we are out of all festivals and the weather is also most suitable for work and money also organizations want to spend the money. So I think very favorable and we will — we will achieve whatever we have planned to achieve.

Vivek Nayak

Thank you, sir.

Operator

Thank you. Due to time constraints, we’ll be able to take one last question. The last question is from Roshan Dere from RVNL. Please go-ahead.

Unidentified Participant

Hello.

Pradeep Gaur

Hi, yeah, please.

Unidentified Participant

So last quarter KRLCR joint-venture payments any issue that how many time to take it solve? Can you clarify the question?

Pradeep Gaur

Kindly say it again

Unidentified Participant

Last quarter, December quarter, you reported in a perfect loss statement KRCL joint-ventures for INR1,400,000 crores car.

Pradeep Gaur

Okay. Okay, okay. I

Mritunjay Pratap Singh

NR1,400,000, INR400 crores.

Pradeep Gaur

Yeah, INR1,400 crore here that is with the interest also, but they have started paying back plus and there is an arbitration award already there of around INR584 crores. So that is in favor of KRCL. So next date is 20th February, let us hope or if that this gets executed that order, I mean that arbitation award.

So I think that cash-flow situation of Krishna Patnam and all will improve. And that will help us to get our money back. But in-spite of that is getting good traffic and they are able to pay almost at the range of INR100 crore to INR200 crores per year. I think last year they gave INR200 crores, 100 crores. 100 crores INR150 crores. Crores this year will be 200.

This year it will be INR200 crores. So I think we are getting our money back slowly, but if this arbitration award is executed, then it will become quite it will be — it will give a good jump to this thing.
