How might Ceigall India's outcome on the INR 13,000 crore Romania highway project reshape its international revenue mix and risk profile over the next three to five years?
Given that renewable order inflows already represent ~35% of FY26 intake, could the sector's contribution exceed the guided 20–25% revenue range in FY27 if execution accelerates on the Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh solar parks?
With HAM asset monetization proceeds expected to exceed INR 400 crores across three tranches, how will management deploy this capital to meet the INR 1,937 crore equity commitment without significantly altering the current 0.6x consolidated debt-to-equity ratio?
