Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents, though the company operates across different countries and has active projects in Surat (Gujarat) and Bhubaneswar (Odisha).
Profitability Margins
Gross and operating margins are negative; PBILDT margin was -65.44% in FY24 (INR -169.19 Cr on INR 258.54 Cr revenue). Net margin was -29.96% in FY24, improving from -70.01% in FY23.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin was -65.44% in FY24, compared to -70.11% in FY23. Core profitability remains negative due to the inability to bid for new projects and high overheads relative to a shrinking order book.
Capital Expenditure
Historical and planned Capex is not disclosed; the company is currently focused on selling surplus materials from foreclosed projects to minimize losses.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Credit rating is 'CARE D' (Default) with 'Issuer Not Cooperating' status. Borrowing costs are not applicable as the company has not serviced debt obligations since September 2018 under an NCLAT moratorium.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Steel, cement, bitumen, and aggregates are the primary raw materials. Specific percentage of total cost for each is not disclosed.
Capacity Expansion
Not applicable for an EPC service company. The company is currently unable to expand its order book due to a negative net worth of approximately INR -3,184.79 Crore.
Raw Material Costs
Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue, but the company is liquidating surplus materials at completed or foreclosed sites to mitigate deterioration and theft risks.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Not applicable for EPC services; operational focus is on completing the existing order book and financial closure of projects.
Strategic Growth
Growth Strategy
Growth depends entirely on the successful implementation of a comprehensive resolution plan by the newly constituted Board. This plan aims to restore net worth, enable the company to meet bank guarantee requirements, and resume bidding for new EPC projects in Power, Oil & Gas, and Metros.
Products & Services
EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services for Roads, Buildings, Industrial Structures, Irrigation Canals, Metros, and Power projects.
Brand Portfolio

Strategic Alliances
Subcontracting arrangements with major contractors for Metro Rail works in Surat and Bhubaneswar.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The infrastructure sector is growing, but IECCL is unable to capitalize on this due to its 'Red Entity' status, which signifies an inability to service debt and operational liabilities.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with other major Indian EPC firms, but is currently uncompetitive due to the lack of bank guarantee facilities.
Competitive Moat
The company's moat is its established track record in high-quality EPC projects, but this advantage is currently neutralized by financial distress and negative brand perception.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to government infrastructure spending and the legal resolution of the IL&FS group's liabilities.
Geopolitical Risks
The company has international operations, but specific trade barrier impacts are not detailed.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to construction safety standards, pollution norms for project sites, and labor laws. Operations are heavily impacted by the NCLAT moratorium and IL&FS resolution framework.

Ongoing investigations by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the parent company (IL&FS) and its subsidiaries, including IECCL. IL&FS group has an exposure of INR 2,047.07 Crore in IECCL.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Success of the resolution plan (100% impact on survival), outcome of SFIO/ED investigations, and ability to exit 'Red Entity' status to resume bidding.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in India, specifically in regions with ongoing metro and road projects like Gujarat and Odisha.
Third Party Dependencies
Critical dependency on banks for guarantee facilities and on the IL&FS resolution framework for liquidity.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk for civil construction, though digital transformation in project management is ongoing.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables are primarily from government and quasi-government bodies (Metro corporations), which generally have high credit quality but may involve settlement delays.
