💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Consolidated revenue grew 108% YoY to INR 6,301.86 Cr in FY25. The EPC segment grew 114.7% to INR 6,064 Cr, while the O&M segment grew 12.2% to INR 236.1 Cr. 1H FY26 revenue reached INR 3,510 Cr, up 80% YoY from INR 1,946 Cr.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company has shifted focus primarily to the domestic Indian market, which now constitutes the majority of the INR 9,096 Cr order book. International operations span 25 countries including Africa, USA, Australia, and the Middle East, but domestic EPC projects are the primary growth driver.

Profitability Margins

Gross margins were 10.1% in FY25 but dipped to 8.9% in Q2 FY26. Net profit margin was 1.36% in FY25 (INR 85.55 Cr) compared to -6.94% in FY24. Q2 FY26 reported a PAT loss of INR 478 Cr due to exceptional write-offs.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin was 3.92% (INR 246.73 Cr) in FY25, a significant improvement from -0.74% in FY24. However, Q2 FY26 saw an EBITDA loss of INR 470 Cr due to a one-time INR 580 Cr write-off related to US arbitration.

Raw Material Costs
