Capacit’e Infraprojects Limited (NSE: CAPACITE)  The construction firm achieved 13% year-over-year income growth in Q3 FY26 and secured order inflows of \u20b93,909 crores for the nine-month period. This performance surpasses its full-year target ahead of schedule as management targets a \u20b94,000 crore revenue benchmark by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company announced its highest-ever quarterly revenue for the period ended December 31, 2025. Total income rose to \u20b9681 crores, supported by accelerated project execution following monsoon-related delays.

Key Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary driver of the quarter’s results was the normalization of project execution across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and National Capital Region (NCR). Earlier operational interruptions caused by extended monsoons, municipal elections in MMR, and regulatory delays in NCR have subsided, allowing for strengthened momentum in the latter half of the fiscal year. Furthermore, the company successfully tied up its assessed working capital limits of \u20b91,390 crores, providing the liquidity necessary to support increased execution in the upcoming quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its portfolio includes super high-rise structures, townships, data centers, healthcare facilities, and metro stations. As of December 31, 2025, the order book is diversified with 61% of projects in the public sector and 39% in the private sector. Analysis of the project mix shows that 58% of the company’s work involves buildings exceeding 40 floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Management has outlined a “Vision 2028” strategy aiming for a revenue CAGR of over 20% to exceed \u20b94,000 crores by FY 2028. Key operational priorities include reducing working capital days and monetizing non-core assets. The company has realized \u20b938.3 crores from asset disposals to date and expects another \u20b912 crores by March 31, 2026, with a further \u20b950 crores targeted for FY27.
