Ceigall India Limited reported a 36% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹637.47 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), reflecting softening demand in its core infrastructure segments. Revenue from operations fell 4.5% to ₹9,696.42 million, weighed down by a 22.5% drop in the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) segment, which remains the primary revenue driver. However, operational efficiency improved, with EBITDA rising to ₹1.43 billion from ₹1.09 billion in the year-ago period, and EBITDA margin expanding to 14.79% from 13.02%. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on August 08, 2026, following a limited review by statutory auditors M/s. B D Bansal & Co.
The quarterly performance was further impacted by rising finance costs, which increased 4.5% to ₹439.16 million from ₹420.08 million in the corresponding period last year. While the Annuity Projects segment saw robust growth with revenue jumping 75.6% to ₹3,996.50 million, it recorded an operating loss of ₹88.80 million, widening from a loss of ₹51.05 million in Q1FY26. Standalone net profit also declined 2.9% year-on-year to ₹753.36 million, with basic earnings per share falling to ₹4.32 from ₹3.21.
A significant strategic development during the quarter was the completion of the sale of the company's entire shareholding in subsidiary Ceigall Malout Abohar Sadhuwali Highways Private Limited to Neo Asset Management Private Limited. The transaction, initially announced via a binding offer on February 9, 2026, was finalized after receiving all necessary regulatory approvals. Ceigall Malout Abohar Sadhuwali Highways ceased to be a subsidiary effective June 16, 2026, with the resulting gain or loss accounted for in the current quarter's financials.
