31 May 2025 CW Team

BCPL Railway Infrastructure Limited posted a standalone revenue of Rs 1.36 billion for financial year 2024–25, marking a 49.69 per cent increase from the previous year. Standalone earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at Rs 143.23 million. Consolidated revenue rose to Rs 1.64 billion, while consolidated EBITDA grew to Rs 130.74 million. However, consolidated profit after tax declined by 5.56 per cent to Rs 505.92 million.

The company secured railway orders worth Rs 3.22 billion during the quarter. Despite a minor decline in EBITDA margin, the railway business maintained momentum, driven by ongoing infrastructure upgrades and government support for modernisation.

In its rice bran oil extraction venture, BCPL faced initial operational issues typical of new manufacturing setups. The plant operated for around six to seven months in FY25 and experienced delays due to machinery tuning and raw material procurement.

BCPL plans to reduce its stake in BCL Bio Energy Private Limited from 51 per cent to 29 per cent. The 22 per cent stake will be transferred to Phoenix Overseas Limited, enabling it to become the new holding company and support BCL's growth with improved marketing and management capacity.
