21 May 2026 CW Team

On a consolidated basis revenue rose by 30.01 per cent to Rs 2135.20 mn in the year ended 31 March 2026 from Rs 1642.39 mn in the prior year. Consolidated earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation increased to Rs 184.46 mn from Rs 130.74 mn, lifting the consolidated margin to 8.64 per cent from 7.96 per cent. Profit before tax was Rs 92.86 mn, an increase of 49.74 per cent, while profit after tax was Rs 68.47 mn, up 35.33 per cent. The company recorded improved absolute profitability driven by operational measures.

On a standalone basis revenue decreased to Rs 857.58 mn from Rs 1356.66 mn, representing a decline of 36.79 per cent, and reported an EBITDA reduction of 18.92 per cent. Despite lower top line the standalone EBITDA margin improved to 13.54 per cent from 10.56 per cent, reflecting management focus on efficiency. The board noted that tighter project execution and cost control supported margin resilience at the standalone level.

The railway electrification business experienced slower project progress owing to operational constraints and limited availability of sites that require traffic blocks for execution, which affected throughput. The order book at the end of the year stood at Rs 2575.21 mn and management indicated ongoing engagement with railway authorities to secure fresh work and improve execution. The company also reported that its 300 tonne (t) per day rice bran oil extraction plant achieved profitability as capacity utilisation approached half of nameplate, and management expects utilisation and margins to improve further aided by currency movements.
