Management attributed top-line weakness to early monsoon, back-ended revenue guidance (major water project starts post-monsoon), and absence of a one-time claim that lifted Q1 FY25.
-
Strong margin expansion is from better project mix and disciplined cost optimization, especially in water/tunneling segments.
-
Guidance maintained for EBITDA margins in current range, with expectations of accelerated revenue and profit in H2 supported by robust client order outlook.
-
Balance sheet remains resilient, supporting future growth, asset monetization (notably Aunta-Simaria project targeted for 2x return), and ongoing bid pipeline for infrastructure opportunities.
-
Digital initiatives and capability-building efforts contributing to operational improvements and cost efficiencies.
