Cemindia Projects Limited delivered a landmark performance in FY26, crossing the ₹10,000 crore revenue milestone for the first time in its history. The company's Q4 FY26 earnings conference call, held on April 30, 2026, featured Managing Director Mr. Jayanta Basu and Accounts Head Mr. Kamlesh Vishwakarma, who presented strong financial results alongside a robust order book and strategic growth outlook.
Q4 FY26 Financial Performance
The fourth quarter results demonstrated exceptional profitability improvement across all key metrics. EBITDA margin expanded significantly year-on-year, driven by successful project completions, claim realizations, and effective cost management.

|---|---|---|---|
| Total Operating Income: | ₹2,973 crore | ₹2,532 crore | ~17% |

| EBITDA Margin: | 15.10% | 10.70% | +440 bps |
| PAT: | ₹242 crore | ₹113 crore | ~114% |
Management clarified that Q4 margins were elevated due to one-time items, including approximately ₹100 crore in claim realizations during the quarter and provision reversals related to completed metro projects. The sustainable EBITDA margin going forward is guided at 10% to 10.50%, excluding such one-time items.

Order Book and Pipeline
Cemindia Projects reported a strong order book position with significant new order wins during FY26. The company secured approximately ₹14,000 crore of orders during the year, and including an L1 position of ₹1,600 crore and an order secured in April worth ₹3,200 crore, the total order wins stand at approximately ₹19,000 crore — nearly three times the ₹7,000 crore typically secured in previous years.
| Order Book Parameter: | Details |
|---|---|
| Current Order Book (Work in Hand): | ₹29,000 crore |
| Orders Secured in FY26 (incl. L1 & April order): | ~₹19,000 crore |
| FY27 Order Inflow (incl. L1, as of call date): | ~₹5,000 crore |
| Project Pipeline: | ~₹70,000 crore |
| Group Share of Pipeline: | ~35%–40% |
| Data Center Orders (from group): | ~₹3,000 crore |
| Mobilization Advance (as of March 2026): | ₹1,400 crore |
| Interest-Free Mobilization Advance: | ~90% |
Key projects secured include Kolkata Metro underground, Pune underground metro, Delhi underground metro, a port project for JSW, an overseas job in Abu Dhabi, and a road-cum-elevated corridor project in Bihar. The company also noted completion of signature projects including Udangudi (100% commissioned), Bangalore Metro, and Mumbai Metro underground during the year.
Segment Outlook and Strategic Priorities
Management identified tunneling (including underground metro, road tunnels, and large-diameter tunnels) and roads and highways as the two primary growth segments, each representing a market opportunity of over ₹1 lakh crore. The company has also entered the data center construction segment, having secured approximately ₹3,000 crore in orders from the Adani Group.
On the Vadhvan Port project, Mr. Basu noted that execution has been delayed due to local issues beyond the company's control, though the breakwater and dredging/reclamation tenders are already in the market for future phases. The Chennai Metro project, with approximately 40% of work still remaining, is expected to be completed by end of 2027 or early 2028.
Regarding TBMs, the company confirmed no idle machines currently, with new TBMs being procured for Pune Metro and Delhi Metro. For large-diameter tunnel projects, additional large-diameter TBMs would need to be acquired.
FY27 Guidance and Capital Expenditure
Management provided the following forward-looking parameters for FY27 based on current visibility:
| Guidance Parameter: | FY27 Target |
|---|---|
| Revenue Growth: | 20%–25% |
| Order Inflow Target: | ~₹25,000 crore |
| Sustainable EBITDA Margin: | 10%–10.50% |
| Capex Plan: | ₹350–₹400 crore |
The FY26 capex stood at ₹260 crore. On fundraising, management confirmed there are no current plans, stating the company is adequately funded. A dividend, which was not declared with the results, was indicated to be forthcoming "within a few weeks," per management's comments during the call.
On commodity inflation risks, Mr. Basu noted that approximately 30% of contracts have star-price (full pass-through) arrangements, while around 80% of jobs overall carry some form of escalation clause protection against normal inflation. He acknowledged that abnormal commodity price increases — such as those driven by geopolitical factors — could have some margin impact, though new project bids would factor in these additional risks.
